More about the winning project<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

‘The exhibition we want propose to present in Venice is the fruit of profound reflection by Polish artist on the tragic history of the 20th century.<\/p>\n

The tragic nature the artist tells us from the depths of Polish experience, is its inalienable feature. The world is not arranged in any simple pattern, it is full of irremovable contradictions, conflicts of interests and ideas, dilemmas that have no simple solutions.<\/p>\n

The Greeks invented tragedy. The Poles rehearsed it.<\/p>\n

The scene of Polish tragedy lies between Germany and Russia. In the 20th century, this meant experiencing two bloody totalitarianisms remaining with each other in a relationship that, following Fran\u00e7ois Furet and Ernst Nolte, could be called \u201chostile proximity.\u201d Although they differ in their diagnosis of reality, ideals and goals, they are similar in their belief in the necessity of violence, terror and extermination. However, this is not the only similarity. The common foundation of both systems was the belief in the possession of fullness of agency and knowledge \u2013 qualities that in the European spiritual tradition were attributed exclusively to God.<\/p>\n

The exhibition\u2019s opening image of the paradisiacal tree of the knowledge of good and evil, symbolically present on the \u201eINRI\u201d painting, is meant to remind us of the temptation that for the first time in history became the principium of the political order. The promise of \u201eEritis sicut dii scientes bonum et malum\u201d was intepreted politically. Viewed from this perspective, politics no longer means an attempt to rationally order the human world, but the creation of a new order and a new man.<\/p>\n

The paintings of Ignacy Czwartos are an artistic testimony to this experience. At the same time, they take it to a metaphysical level by showing the universal and spiritual character of local history. Extracting this universal content from the unique Polish experience is the essential theme of the exhibition.\u2019<\/p>\n
