Goethe Scenes

In Between

During German occupation, a wooden bridge that clung to the two sides of Warsaw's Chlodna Street connected the sprawling "small" and "large" ghettos to its left and right. It opened its prisoners a scanty view of freedom at the centre and bracketed the longings and fears of those who were shut inside. Decades later, the artists Anna Baumgart and Agniezka Kurrant have now created a new projection screen for the dastardly acts that accumulated at this fateful place: the art space in the air offers an opportunity to revitalize something static and political with remembrance – and resist forgetting.
