Przemysław Bąk LIVE FLESZ! ENGLISH SUBTITLED Polish Baltic region news arts report

WINTER 2010 Przemysław (Rick) Bąk has been many things - but an exhibiting muralist in the frozen north of Poland isn't one of them. Until recently, that is. Bąk has embarked on a global art world tour of his work old and new, created in places as far apart as NYC and Morocco, with an inaugural show at the Basilica of St George in his hometown city of Slupsk! It was a real happening and everyone came out for it, braving black ice along the way ... family, friends, colleagues, old art teachers ... and scores of the local media turned up. It made the local news telecast for most of the Baltic region! Here's the news segment as it ran on TV news the next day. Bąk has since taken his roadshow to the capital of Warsaw where it recently opened at Sztukarnia Gallery, located in the high rent "green" Mokotów district. Mokotów is the base for lots of foreign embassies and companies and most of it offers parks and green areas (most notably The Baths Park, or in Polish Łazienki Królewskie which is a park-and-palace complex situated on the "Royal Route" linking the Royal Castle in Old Town with Wilanów palace to the south). What a cool area to kick off a Warsaw exhibition! He returns to Slupsk for a far larger show at the esteemed Museum of Art, come September.
