Jenny Holzer in Wawel Castle only

After a test run carried out yesterday, Jenny Holzer decided not to screen her work on the facade of the National Museum – the second location where poems by Czesław Miłosz were going to be displayed.
According to the artist, the heavy traffic, the large amount of light sources around and the structure of the Museum’s facade interfere with the clarity of the project and therefore limit the effect of the installation.

The installation, scheduled for June 21st-24th will be moved to Wawel Castle. It will be on display daily between June the 10th and 24th at 9.00 p.m. on the walls of Wawel Royal Castle. Be there!


For Krakow instalation is a part of Liberated Miłosz – Czesław Miłosz Year celebration in Kraków, which is operated by Instytut Książki. Projcet subsidised with funds from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
