Is historical memory permanent? Every annual commemoration of the beginning of the Second World War is a heated test of modernity with returning questions of presence, avoidance and acknowledgment of guilt. Architecture is a special carrier of history creating the structures of space, power and memory. Building Memory is a video art project in which four artists: Mirosław Bałka, Yael Bartana (Israel), Deimantas Narkevicius (Lithuania) and Marcel Odenbach (Germany) refer to the problem of places marked by history: buildings, monuments and other silent witnesses of the dramatic events of the last seventy years.
Before the vernissage, at 5 p.m., a meeting and discussion with the artists will be held.
