The Annex Galler y
The main idea behind this exhibition is to display the collective works of Radek Szlaga, Tomasz Mróz, Greg Gonsior and their teacher from the College of Fine Arts in Opole – Zbigniew Natkaniec. This collective presentation will constitute a kind of homage to an inspiring teacher but also, leaving the convention behind, a kind of an artistic confrontation…
Admission to this exhibition is free.
This is not r e a l l i fe D o m i n i ka g ęsi cka Opole Photography Festival There is a place where no one is born and no one dies. Of course you can die anywhere but you cannot be buried here as it has been discovered that bodies fail to decompose here. You cannot be born here because pregnant women are to return to the mainland to give birth. There are no cats, no trees, no traffic lights. There is no amusement park, but there is a circus troupe. In the winter time it is completely dark, but in the summer sun never sets. The place is called Longyearbyen and it is the largest settlement and an administrative center of Svalbard.
