Museum of The Art of Tadeusz Kantor Cricoteka
Centre for Documentation of the Art of Tadeusz Kantor - a symbol of exploration in the art of the individual path to creativity subverted the boundaries between actor and spectator, the creator and the recipient pulls all the participants to share -Games-the fun. The public space of the city is a stage and the audience at the same time, is a place of continuous performance. Its value lies in blurring the boundaries between inside and outside space "flows", is common.
The creators, artists, residents and visitors together participate in the action, create the environment that shape with the help of selected objects, structures, facilities, methods. Kantor's Art Centre has broadcast message.
Vistula river, its boulevards, the immediate surroundings are "objects and props" that can participate in the action, and the retraction of the precinct scenes (specular reflection in the ceiling) creates the potential for creative use.
Building the Museum, according to Kantor's creative vision, does not integrate with the environment, and the existing building does not update its existence by identifying with the original function, but through conscious contrast of form and content create a pretext for conflict and the "clash". The aim of the creative work is not identified as a solid form rather, the manner of its impact on the environment.
Moving away from the land development of a free and freeing it for the purposes of the performance, exhibitions, performances, happenings extends the range of influence of the form and its contents to the scale of the urban city. Transforming the characteristic image of a man carrying on his back is a symbol of the table clash matter, the subject of a human being, which is the creative effort of building a new form, makes sense of the new "song" is the feedback from the combination of ideas creator and choose "plastic". Added object to the word "object" wrapped - so. emballage by the idea of Tadeusz Kantor, for which packaging is hiding "puzzling" and suitable for the structure functions.
Kantor is fundamentally an object of general interest and as such has the right to an accent, and even dominates the skyline of the city space. The scale of the buildings properly expressed may attenuate the negative impact of very tall buildings in the neighborhood. Adopted gage height is similar to a building constituting a background, and significantly lower than the recently implemented in the area at Qubus.
