About
The present Poland has had a very changeable history. For long periods, parts of the country have been under the rule of other powers. Only with the end of the First World War does Poland get its current extent. Or almost. Some of the westernmost parts of the country, including the port city of Szczecin, remain in German hands until 1945. In the exhibition LONGING - Works from the National Museum in Szczecin you will meet works created under the impression of the country's complex history in the important years around World War I and up to and including with World War II. The artists respond to violent, national changes and wild, international currents of struggle, decadence, optimism and resignation. In paintings and sculptures, they explore different forms of patriotism. Common to their expression is a LONGING to get back the lost Poland. It is accompanied by a research-based publication and on selected days there will be background music, created by German or Polish composers, in the exhibition spaces. The exhibition is the third in a collaboration between the National Museum in Szczecin and Bornholm Art Museum. Exhibition: Bornholms Kunstmuseum, Gudhjem, Denmark (06.12.2020-18.04.2021) / Muzeum Narodowe w Szczecinie, Poland (04.06.-14.11.2021) Det nuværende Polen har haft en meget omskiftelig historie. I lange perioder har dele af landet været under andre magters herredømme. Først med afslutningen af Første Verdenskrig får Polen sin nuværende udstrækning. Eller næsten. Nogle af landets vestligste dele, herunder havnebyen Szczecin, forbliver på tyske hænder indtil 1945. I udstillingen LÆNGSEL - Værker fra Nationalmuseet i Szczecin møder du værker, der er skabt under indtryk af landets komplekse historie i de vigtige år omkring Første Verdenskrig og op til og med Anden Verdenskrig. Kunstnerne reagerer på voldsomme, nationale forandringer og vilde, internationale strømninger med kamp, dekadence, optimisme og resignation. I malerier og skulpturer undersøger de forskellige former for patriotisme. Fælles for deres udtryk er en LÆNGSEL efter at få det tabte Polen tilbage. Den ledsages af en forskningsbaseret publikation og på udvalgte dage vil der være baggrundsmusik, skabt af tyske eller polske komponister, i udstillingsrummene. Udstillingen er den tredje i et samarbejde mellem Nationalmuseet i Szczecin og Bornholms Kunstmuseum. Exhibition: Bornholms Kunstmuseum, Gudhjem, Denmark (06.12.2020-18.04.2021) / Muzeum Narodowe w Szczecinie, Poland (04.06.-14.11.2021)
