During a moderated discussion, experts from Poland and Germany will want to take up the phenomenon of minimalism from the social, cultural and economic point of view. They will talk about sustainable alternatives to everyday consumption and how living in the spirit of minimalism benefits the world and individuals.

Minimalism was one of the last movements of the 20th century avant-garde that changed the history of visual arts. Frank Stella's statement "What you see is what you see" became the motto of minimalists, rejecting the context and emphasizing a “straightforward reading” of an artwork. Learning from this lesson with full consistency, the material work of art was no longer needed. At the same time, it was fetishized, particularly through the commercial sale of minimalist works. Recently, post-minimalist aesthetics has dominated not only the world of art, but also life-style, ranging from design to the populist version of wabi-sabi or zen 'shortcut' guides.

Due to a formal and semantic reduction, minimalism has begun to gain relevance in art, especially in the context of the climate crisis and overpopulation of the planet, fatigue caused by information overload, or appreciating the value of mistake and chance as a source of knowledge. The exhibition will therefore present works that may seem far from minimalism, or that criticize the commercial abuse of the aesthetic. The "organizing" point consists of six art pieces by six artists – six chapters of the exhibition, that lexically show several "rules" regulating the "grammar" of works, or that are derived from minimal art.

We invite you to the land of Clochee relaxation, where, using Virtual Reality, we will move to the bosom of nature. Without leaving the Philharmonic, everyone will feel part of nature. Relaxing face yoga workshops will introduce a minimalist and natural approach to beauty and the principles of caring for your skin.

The therapeutic concert will be a story about diversity and the ability to adjust to others, especially to persons with special educational needs. The name Antipodes refers to the geographical location where the phenomenon of Glow Worms shining with blue light occurs. Here, we mean fluorescent insects living in Australian And New Zealander caves. To enter those caves, you need to obey rigorous rules regarding moving around, acoustics, and other factors, disturbing the harmony of the insects’ natural environment. This unique sensitivity to external factors will serve as a metaphor to get acquainted with the susceptibility of autistic persons to various stimuli and make us more empathetic towards them.
