Exhibition designed by Malwina Antoniszczak and Monika Bielak for The International Cultural Center Krakow, Poland 2012
Curators: Natalia Żak, Helena Postawka
The inspiration for the design came from a famous Andy Warhol quote from the book "Popism: The Warhol Sixties" by Andy Warhol and Pat Hackett:
It was the perfect time to think silver. Silver was the future, it was spacy—the astronauts wore silver suits—Shepard, Grissom, and Glenn had already been up in them, and their equipment was silver, too. And silver was also the past—the Silver Screen—Hollywood actresses photographed in silver sets.
And maybe more than anything, silver was narcissism—mirrors were backed with silver.
