June 25th-July 27th
Opening reception: June 27th, 6-8 pm
This exhibition looks carefully at a popular subject within the Westphal College's extensive collection of Polish posters, Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill's well-known 1928 musical The Threepenny Opera. The installation compares several artists’ interpretations of the musical through the posters they created to promote it, and examines more broadly the themes that affected the artists’ approach, including attention to the characters, plot, and score; the popularity of the national theatre in Poland; and the role of censorship during decades of Soviet occupation.
