ArtBoom and children

It turn out that ArtBoom Tauron Festival does not only attract adult viewers. We were also able to see how the youngest react to modern art.
Despite the belief of many people, children are very open to the works of artists. Their curiosity and enthusiasm causes them to be interested in every new, surprising thing and situation. They want to take advantage of the opportunity to play and seek new experiences – where adult were puzzled or unsure, they tested the possibilities of the city installations of ArtBoom Tauron Festival without constraints – exploring their possibilities.
The colourful installation, Hypnos (Situationist Space Program), mirrors embedded in a labyrinth, Kerim Seiler at Maria Magdalena Square, Aleksander Janicki’s Satellite Sphere and Adin, dwa, tri – Maciek Kurak’s gigantic television at Matejko Square, were treated by children like big surprises inviting to interact.
