The message connected to public
theatre is not an advertisement.

00:00:07.118 --> 00:00:11.493
I understand that the Theatre Institute is an institution,

00:00:11.493 --> 00:00:19.398
but the whole explanation of the artist and the
graphics as such have nothing to do with advertising.

00:00:19.398 --> 00:00:22.037
And I think that Woynarowski 
didn't deserve the suggestions

00:00:22.037 --> 00:00:24.234
that he is practising some clandestine advertising,

00:00:24.234 --> 00:00:28.414
because he is a top-class artist, 
and I think he deserves respect.

00:00:28.414 --> 00:00:32.305
I know that he pulled out also because of the
atmosphere that came to surround his figure,

00:00:32.305 --> 00:00:34.216
a very mean and unpleasant one,

00:00:34.216 --> 00:00:36.869
and I think that's not right.

00:00:36.869 --> 00:00:46.411
We are thus left in Warsaw with an old, 
deteriorating mural, it really is in a bad shape,

00:00:46.411 --> 00:00:50.620
and with the sense that today, no
mural can ever be painted over.

00:00:50.620 --> 00:00:55.985
With this suggestion that these works, which, I think 
that after all, according to the spirit of street art,

00:00:55.985 --> 00:00:59.539
are supposed to be evanescent, temporary,

00:00:59.539 --> 00:01:05.034
which are meant as interventions and sometimes
the way that they are created borders on the illegal –

00:01:05.034 --> 00:01:09.954
that these would be supposed to function eternally.

00:01:09.954 --> 00:01:14.075
And it worries me, in that we don’t
have an excess of free wall space

00:01:14.075 --> 00:01:19.922
which would allow us to paint new murals
and leave the ones created earlier.

00:01:19.922 --> 00:01:27.993
And, to be honest, the foundations that organise 
mural painting do not always have the means

00:01:27.993 --> 00:01:32.806
and possibilities of maintaining
their works in good condition.
