Jakub Szczęsny - Ermitage, 2010 - 2012
art installation in crack between the buildings on Chłodna 22 and Żelazna 74
In the crack between the buildings on 22 Chłodna St. and 74 Żelazna St., Jakub Szczęsny designed an art installation entitled Ermitage, which shall become the narrowest house in Warsaw, since its interior will come to 133 centimeters in the widest spot.
Ermitage will be a workplace, a hermitage created for an outstanding Isreali writer, Etgar Keret. Besides, it will also fulfill a function of a studio for invited guests – young creators and intellectualists from all over the world. The residential program, conducted in the heart of Wola, is supposed to produce creative work conditions and become a significant platform for world intellectual exchange.
