Piotr Marciszuk Stentor Publishing House and the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw invite you to the book premiere and meeting with the authors. Anda Rottenberg, Mirosław Bałka "Cosmos. Conversations–Texts–Friendship". The conversation with the authors will be moderated by Małgorzata Omilanowska. Renowned critic and curator Anda Rottenberg talks with distinguished artist Mirosław Bałka. This is a book about art and their friendship, which has lasted uninterrupted for almost 40 years. It consists of conversations focusing on the work of Mirosław Bałka – one of the most important contemporary Polish artists – and Anda Rottenberg's texts from 1986–2023 dedicated to his works. The result is a lively, personal book – the first monograph of Bałka's work in Poland and a record of a conversation that never ends. 📅 23.09 / 18:00 MSN Auditorium Free admission thanks to cooperation with the Audi brand. "[Mirosław Bałka] You know, art is art, but I think there are also many other shared areas that interest us: history, culture, readings we share. Art itself is a gesture, it's the tip of the iceberg. And what's important in the relationships between us is also that we see each other in underwater situations, invisible to the viewer who only sees the peak. We align in these invisible areas, which are hard to articulate clearly, because they contain knowledge about the world that we also share. I exchange books with you, I don't do that with other people. The fuel that drives us is somehow similar, although you find other areas of personal expression, I find others, but when they meet, they create a shared work. And that's the added value." — excerpt from the book The book will be available for purchase from 23.09 at: https://sklep.artmuseum.pl/kosmos-rozmowy-teksty-przyjazn Guests: - Anda Rottenberg – art historian and critic, curator of numerous exhibitions, author of essays, columns, and literary works.
