Translations: Multi-disciplinary exhibition of art and music by foreign artists living in Warsaw 

8 May 2008 

May 2008 will see the first-ever multi-disciplinary art and music exhibition presented by American and other foreign artists living in Warsaw who have formed an ex-pat artistic group “Translations”. The combined spaces of Komuna Otwock theatre and Pracownia Wschodnia gallery on Lubelska Street 30/32 will host the exhibition May 8-31, Thursdays to Sundays between 15:00-21:00 as well as show accompanying special events featuring American artists. The “Translations” project is another proof of the ongoing American contribution to cultural and artistic life in Poland, bringing American art and culture closer to Polish public through interactive artistic events and exhibits.

Uraz Kivaner’s jazz piano concert will open the exhibit on May 8 at 21:00. Please see the poster for “Translations” exhibitions to choose the event that suits your artistic taste. The Embassy particularly recommends the “Meet with the Artists” series on Sundays May 11 and 18 between 15:00-20:00 which enables the visitors to meet with the exhibiting artists and engage them in a discussion about their work. The series will present the American artists: Gene Morris, graphic designer and photographer, Tom Cumbow, Adrian Erlinger, photographer and Fulbright scholar, Rachel Schmidt, sculptor and installation artist and performance artists flutist and vocalist Pamela Pecko and actor Mark Mouck. Pam Pecko will play classical music at the concert on May 10 and Mark Mouck can be seen in a theatre performance “Men Behaving Badly” which closes the “Translation” exhibition on May 31.
