An exhibition of the gallery’s own col­lec­tion is cur­ren­tly under­way at Zachęta in Warsaw, re-​examining many iconic works of Polish art from the first two decades of the 21st cen­tury, inc­luding the photography series Negative Book by Aneta Grzeszykow­ska, Art Is Violence by Olaf Brzeski, and the video projec­tion by Oskar Dawicki from which the show takes its title. Indeed, Dawicki shed tears publicly during his per­for­mance piece at the exhibition opening. Brzeski, in turn, made a distinct interven­tion in the exhibition by taking for a spin (literally and figuratively) the 19th-century figure of a gladiator greeting the gal­lery audience from above the stairs. The show runs till 15th of September.
