On January 30, a new exhibition, \u201cPro\u015bby na niby\u201d (Pretend Requests), will open at the Art Walk gallery on Europejski Square, curated by Marcelina Gorczy\u0144ska and Kamila Fal\u0119cka, initiated by Turnus na Wolskiej. Organized by the \u201cArt in the City\u201d Foundation and Ghelamco Poland.<\/b>
The New Year inspires hope for a better future, and to celebrate this fresh start, the local Wola initiative Turnus, invited by the \u201cArt in the City\u201d Foundation, presents the exhibition \u201cPro\u015bby na niby,\u201d featuring works by 12 artists.
Turnus, an independent art-curatorial collective led by Kamila Fal\u0119cka and Marcelina Gorczy\u0144ska since 2020, believes that art flourishes in free, social settings. As the curators explain, the exhibition focuses on \u201crequests,\u201d often seen as casual prompts for fostering relationships and interdependence. Each gallery window is dedicated to one artist\u2019s work, with descriptions created as imaginative \u201crequests\u201d inspired by neighboring pieces, encouraging collaboration and dialogue.
The exhibition highlights how local artistic initiatives can offer new perspectives in urban spaces. Turnus bridges Wola, its base of operations, with Europejski Square, creating an accessible space for dialogue and fresh interpretations of contemporary art. Open-air and accessible seven days a week, the Art Walk gallery ensures an inclusive experience for all visitors.

(media.ghelamco.pl<\/a>) A sense of humor balances seriousness \u2013 and brings perspective. It belongs to those who can forgive \u2013 and see themselves from different angles. It shapes worldviews \u2013 people with humor approach life differently. Influenced by culture, environment, and personality, it evolves.<\/p> \"You can't make the world less serious \u2013 but many things are absurd,\" Krzysztof Materna, Deputy Artistic Director of Krak\u00f3w\u2019s Bagatela Theatre, said.<\/p> \"I've always been drawn to abstract humor. In the \u201990s, everything was being built \u2013 providing great comedy material. Sometimes provocation helps people more than they realize. But politicians? They take themselves too seriously. Someone who willingly enters politics simply cannot have a sense of humor \u2013 it would cost them the election. Our nation, too, struggles with self-distance; we love laughing at others but hate being laughed at. Imagine suggesting to Polish politicians what the Queen of England did at the London Olympics \u2013 it\u2019s unthinkable,\" he added.<\/p> (eNewsroom<\/a>) <\/p>","photo":"\/uploads\/images\/66\/67cc47da63427.jpg","slider_photo":"","thumbnail":null,"background_photo":null,"theme":null,"page_title":"Politicians Should Have a Sense of Humor","page_description":"","page_keywords":"sense of humor, Krzysztof Materna, politicians","active":"1","popular":null,"created_datetime":"18 days ago","promoted":"0","promoted_datetime":null,"paywall":"0","highlights":"0","top_news":"0","is_visible_picture_in_newsletter":"1","photo_label":"Source: eNewsroom.pl","href":"\/politicians-should-have-a-sense-of-humor\/post\/145203","categories":[{"id":"3","name":"LifeStyle","type":"life-style"}]},{"article_id":"145127","user_id":"176","author_id":"1","name":"Forbes 2025: Poland\u2019s Wealthiest Are All Billionaires","subname":null,"short_description":"","slider_description":null,"description":" For the first time, every name on Forbes\u2019 2025 list of Poland\u2019s 100 richest is a billionaire.
