During the opening weekend of the exhibition Humanistic Modernism. Maciej and Stanisława Nowiccy, we invite you to a unique event—a live musical improvisation created in direct relation to the exhibition space and its content, treated as the context for this performance. Our special guest will be Marek Pospieszalski—saxophonist, composer, improviser, and sound artist, one of the most distinctive figures on the contemporary improvisation and jazz scene in Poland.
The improvisation will serve as an interpretation of the design concept of humanistic modernism, understood as a process based on dialogue, mindfulness, and responsiveness to a specific place and situation. Humanistic modernism is architecture that is technically modern yet rooted in the landscape and human experience. It combines innovation with sensitivity to place, nature, and the proportions of the body. It demonstrates that modernism can be both structurally rational and empathetic toward people and the environment. How will the musician interpret this vision? Be sure to come and find out!
The event invites the audience to an in-depth, non-verbal experience, combining architecture and music as equal creative practices.

BIOGRAM
Marek Pospieszalski – saxophonist, composer, improviser, and sound artist. His work spans a wide range of aesthetics—from free jazz and contemporary music, through electroacoustic experiments, to hybrid forms and site-specific projects in which sound responds to the spatial and cultural context. A graduate the Academy of Music in Krakow, he leads his own projects (including a quartet, Octet, and Epta), co-founds the Malediwy duo, and collaborates with leading musicians of the Polish and European improvisational scene. His work is characterized by a search for expressive autonomy and an interpretation of music as an open process, combining tradition with experimentation.
