The Polish Minister of Culture, Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz, has announced that the originally selected project 'Polish Exercises in the Tragedy of the World: Between Germany and Russia' will not be shown at next year's Biennale in Venice. Instead, the exhibition project 'Repeat After Me' will be shown.
The Minister of Culture, who serves as the commissioner of the Polish Pavilion decided not to proceed with the project by curators Piotr Bernatowicz and Dariusz Karłowicz and the artist Ignacy Czwartos. Instead the second place project 'Repeat After Me,' submitted by curator Marta Czyż with Open Group (Yuriy Biley, Pavlo Kovach, Anton Varga), will be send to Venice.
The statement added that the Zachęta Gallery remains responsible for organizing the exhibition and overseeing the Polish Pavilion in Venice.
The originally selected project for the Polish exhibition at the Venice Biennale had sparked controversy.
