1Go back to where the

exhibition starts, right next to the Gallerys large staircase. Sit

comfortably, put the map on the floor. Hmmm Is this the map of the same exhibition youve seen

through the telescope?

What does the exhibition look like through the eye of

the telescope?What did you find particularly interesting?What did you find? Lets try to see the exhibition again. This time, we shall use the map

Attention! Before you unreel

the roll, read the following text!

What did you say you were? asked Annika.A turnupstuffer.Whats that? asked Tommy.Somebody who finds the stuff that turns up if only you look, of course. What else would it be? said Pippi, sweeping together all the flour on the floor into a little pile. The whole world is filled with things that are just waiting for someone

to come along and find them and thats just what a turnupstuffer does. What sort of things? asked Annika.Oh, all sorts, said Pippi. Gold nuggets and ostrich feathers and dead mice and rubber bands and tiny little grouse.

A. Lindgren, Pippi Longstocking, trans. Edna Hurup, Oxford 1954, p. 15

Our SEARCH is an adventure full of surprises. What is a surprise? Are surprises always nice? What kind of emotions do they evoke?

Slowly move to the

second part of the exhibition. Which work

matches the feelings that you associate with a surprise? Perhaps you just found a talisman that changes all unpleasant surprises into pleasant adventures?

Look for other emotions

in the exhibition as well. Find: joy, shyness,

sadness, courage, and enchantment. Tell a story of the art works weve found. Why do you associate them with these feelings?

You dont have to use words to reply. You may make a gesture towards this art

work or create a symbol for the represented emotion.

This is the

end of our

SEARCH but, but what have we actually found?

And what does this strange exhibition title actually mean Minimal Forms

of Reality?

We move our search to our home. Unroll the map again. Once again, move to Bunkier Sztuki and mark the route that you have made during your SEARCH. Recall what youve seen

and mark your findings and discoveries.

What was the biggest treasure youve found? Now is the time to look for small treasures all around you. Perhaps you could make a collection or an exhibition from them?

The SEARCH

requires you to be alert and attentive. Sometimes you make one wrong step and all your efforts come to nothing. Dont be misled by appearances and illusions. Eyes wide open!

In the first part of the

exhibition find:

a false board that was not made of wood

a mirror that is not made of glass

a dream that floats above the floor

an empty can with a tree growing

from it

a mountain made of hats

glasses that nobody looks through anymore

railing supported by a carpet.

From all the objects

you found choose one that interested you the most.Inspect the material it was made from and the surroundings in which it was placed. Try to listen to it and say something to it this is also the way to familiarize yourself with art works.

Perhaps, then the object you found will stop pretending and lying to you and finally show what it really is and reveal something important

to you.

What do you see now?
