“Zakrywam to co niewidoczne” is a story about one of the most important art galleries in post-war Poland – founded in 1966 Foksal Gallery. Wiesław Borowski, co-founder and longtime director of the gallery, depicts the history of artistic formation related to the institution. Tadeusz Kantor, Henryk Stażewski, Edward Krasiński, Zbigniew Gostomski – that are, among other, the heroes of this book. But it is also a story of the PLACE: magnetic space, attracting attention and active involvement of the participants of the international artistic life. Borowski parallely spins a personal story: about the postwar fate of expropriated families, long-term friendships and environmental splits. Wiesław Borowski’s biography reflects the entire artistic epoch: post-war years and Stalinism, and cultural policy of the Gierek decade, martial law and political transformation, in the end – the art of the new millennium.
