In Vratislav, an exhibition called Three-Headed Dragon will take place
Three-Headed Dragon
Museum of Architecture in Wrocław
ul. Bernardyńska 5, 50-156 Wrocław, Poland
March 25 – May 9, 2010
opening on March 25 at 5:00 PM
The exhibition “Three-Headed Dragon” is another step in the eponymous project, which is part of the activities aimed at mapping the architectural heritage of the 20th century. In its first phase, we focus on the architecture of the interwar period.
The impetus was the book “The Art of Upper Silesia from the Middle Ages to the End of the 20th Century” edited by Ewa Chojecka, which captivated us with its breadth of scope, respect for the past and present, and its scholarly thoroughness. Enthusiasm and inspiration were also provided by the first “Moravian-Silesian” pieces of the Shumne Cities series, which were not only educational but also kindly and elegantly playful.
Every era has its untamed dragon – here the functionalist movement and its two heads, symbolizing both cultural and national elements of the described area. We believe that to fully understand the spirit of Upper Silesia as a whole, the “interwar dragon” must have a third head, a “Czech” head.
Exhibition curators: Tadeáš Goryczka, Jaroslav Němec (Czech part), Ryszard Nakonieczny, Justyna Wojtas (Polish part)
