Come join us for a curatorial guided tour in the Museum drawn with a chalk in front of the Palace of Cul­ture! You will be guided through the park­ing lot, the park and inside the Super­mar­ket – loca­tions where Warsaw MOMA is going to be built one day. The exhi­bi­tion includes Verner Panton’s designed rooms, Fritz Lang’s com­put­ers and robots form Metrop­o­lis, Ernst Bloch’s sen­tences pro­jected on huge screens ("Which would be the exis­tence of humans with­out the dreams they pre­serve and maintain") or the mon­u­ment of the third inter­na­tional by Vladimir Tatlin. Each tour will encounter a special guest such as Jarek Trybuś, an expert on unre­al­ized archi­tec­ture in Poland or Chris­tain Kerez – Swiss archi­tect pass­ing acci­den­tally by. The walk will also include a talk with one of the traders from Super­mar­ket for whom build­ing of the Museum means lack of job.

Warsaw per­for­mance through doc­u­men­tary the­ater, offers a walk in the ideal museum – pro­jected by the power of imag­i­na­tion. Who once bought a ticket can return to the museum any day, any­time. It will be open 24h. One can also walk in the organic archi­tec­ture, in the mod­ernist build­ing or in any other con­struc­tion or dimen­sion. Isn’t the ideal only this what remains unachieved?
