Our interest in this largest-ever exhibition of Warsaw-based artist Aleksandra Waliszewska was already piqued by the title alone, and will definitely be on our summer calendar. But if it takes more than mere mention of the dark arts to get your cultural juices flowing, here's an especially evocative excerpt from the official guide: "The settings of her paintings - forests and swamps, lost highways, and gloomy housing estates - evoke the specificity of Polish and Baltic landscapes. Waliszewska’s works seem to operate using the logic of dreams and her themes conjure primal emotions: love, desire and fear of death." If you're enjoying the sunshine down by the river, why not drop into the Museum on the Vistula for some Polski doom and gloom?
