The ArtBoom Tauron Festival introduces contemporary art into Krakow’s historical tissue. The artists’ installations amidst the city’s historical buildings often lead to antagonisms – the antiques of Renaissance or Baroque, considered architectural pearls, clash with new creativity, which is so very different from classical architecture or sculpture. Kerim Seiler’s Hypnos (Situationist Space Program), located on Maria Magdalena Square, creates a spectacular antagonism, but also Maciej Kurak’s Adin, dwa, tri, in other words the “healing” television, located opposite the main entrance to Krakow’s Academy of Fine Arts. The same can be said for Raumlaborberlin’s yellow geometrical project called LEM Monument, which can be seen at the foot of Wawel hill. Antagonisms created by the clash between old and new influence the emotions and behaviour of individuals – visiting tourists and even the residents of Krakow. This process has an influence on shaping public space. As you can see on the photos tourists are more accepting of these new sites in the public space, as they eagerly take photographs in front of them.
