They originate from the deep reflection on the uncertainty of changes happening in the art at art’s end, Poland at the end of communism and the world at the end of history. The openness of the Gallery in this case is shown not in an opposition questioning everything, but rather on a constructive examination of the complexity of the situation. On of the aspects of it was showing, considered archaic and obscure at the time – paintings. The exhibition is the recor of this research of art’s openness.
