Day 3

Sunday as a day of rest compulsory for all - except us. extremely zdyscy plinowana project group refocused on the wake in the morning, so Zeb y have a 9 to begin to participate actively in the life of cities. Of course, given the atmosphere on Sunday mornings many of the us and therefore in great rush at about 10: 30 in the end we left the hostel.

Before entering were asked to answer the important question - What to see? Stockholm is the city where at least one month p Residence Permit can be given only to museums - we mieliś us one day.

There was so przeg rupowanie - some of us, particularly with political aspirations, she went on a trip to Riksdag - the Swedish parliament. While others began to walk around the island of museums - S keppsholmen . This thematic island is almost entirely devoted to art. Located at the Museum of Oriental and Moderna Museet . Only bridge divides the island from the next focal point for every connoisseur Art - National museet. In addition, right on the shore of the lake, with beautiful views of the adjacent coast, has its headquarters Stockholm Academy of Fine Arts, or Kungliga Konsthögskolan-hard to imagine better conditions for studying, especially items related to art.

In a remarkable density of such sites should be prioritized so-best start since the end of history - that is, from the Moderna Museet. Even the building of the museum invites you to visit - a characteristic Scandinavian minimalism combined with a warm atmosphere inside, which makes visitors want to simply stay in the premises of the museum. Judging by the number of visitors - the strategy is working. The museum was a lot of visitors, including many young couples with small children, who watched with interest the paintings and sculptures. Swedes make them sensitive to art from an early age.

both at the Moderna Museet and in other places we visited that day, threw themselves into the eyes of big groups of children, often with their parents, who ran the museum, or have had classes in specially prepared for this purpose halls.

And at the Moderna Museet is much to admire - not just for kids. Huge collection of a cross section of key trends in the art of the twentieth century - both continental Europe and Ska n dynawii. Collections include, inter alia, some of the most famous works of artists such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Henri Matisse , Robert Rauschenberg, Oskar Kokoschka , Georges Braque , Marcel Duchamp, Edward Munch, and Vassily Kandinsky . among Swedish artists works occupy an important place Hjertén och Sigrid Siri Derkert.

After far too short a visit to the museum of modern art, now the whole group went to walk to the next sztokholmiskiej attractions - Vasa museet . Unusual collections of the museum's limited to one - but how spektaktularnego - monument. this is a huge monument wachtowiec the early seventeenth century.

In 1620, Sweden was at war with the Polish. So in 1625 the Swedish King Gustav II Adolf commissioned the building of new vessels. One of them was named Vasa. August 10, 1628 the ship sailed on its maiden voyage. It is scheduled for Sunday - so that as many people could accumulate on the waterfront and admire the majesty of the new fleet, and thus enjoy the power of the state. Among the dignitaries were many from abroad - the ship was to be a propaganda tool serving selected an outstanding position among the European countries of Sweden.

But even today we can admire this monument of the art of war almost intact. This does not mean that the Catholic enemies - Poles - failed to even scratch the giant wachtowca. So what happened? Just-ship following the departure from the port at Salwach cannon oklasakch all the inhabitants of Stockholm and with the blessing of the king .... Sunk. Right on the shore. A narrow construction of the vessel caused that, it had to be extremely fast, but also had a feedback is a technical fault - he was unstable. The rate had no one to see instability as it has proved to be very dramatic consequences. The ship just off the coast bent to such an extent that he has gained huge amounts of water and majestically began to sink to the bottom. And with the dreams King of the conquest of its neighbors. Paradoxically - Today the ship is a great pride. This is probably the world's only copy the structure of the seventeenth wielku which 90% is authentic. The silt at the bottom of the waterfront was a wonderful preservative material and thanks to him not only excavated the hull of the ship, but also everyday objects and the bones of the dead. This allowed the accuracy nizwykłą recreate the living conditions of people from that era, which gives great exposure in a museum.

Although the Vasa Museum is another a place where you can spend at least several hours, and soon it was necessary to carry out further points of the program. Fortunately, our next destination was near, to be exact - in front. few minutes later, so we went to the Nordiska museet . rustic collections were also fascinating, especially for us - skandynawistów. The first exposure that we have come across was an exhibition ... washing machines. It turned out that by showing the evolution of these devices can also provide the evolution of Swedish society, anecdotes related to human habits and changing habits. It is worth mentioning that for the Swedes washing machine is not only a simple utility function - it is also an element that integrates whole community, a meeting place for laundry neighbors and friends. It may seem strange, but not when we realize that the characteristic feature of the Swedish housing is ... no machine. These units are located in a specially designated for this purpose part of the basement, which is carrying the laundry. And there, connected to the spirit of community, meet Swedes to talk, meet, hang out ads, and by the way - to wash.

Other exhibitions are no less interesting, and - typical for the Nordic Museum - interactive. We analyzed the conversion of existing costumes depending on the prevailing ideology within the framework of the exhibition Modemakt - 300 år av kläder , we observed a common immigrant community project carried out in collaboration with the museum - Livstycket på Nordiska museet , which resulted in amazing fabrics which blend of minimalism and Eastern skandynawksiego taste for ornament.

All items can be dotnkąć, to feel, to commune with them. Equally interesting from the perspective of exposure to people interested in Sweden was the exposure on national holidays in Sweden and the Swedish toys.

for now we will just organizational meeting.

Day 2

leitmotif of the second day of our stay was a meeting with Maciej Zaremba and Agneta Pleijel: Polish-Swedish marriage , which plays an important role in the socio and cultural life of Sweden. Matt and Agneta through his work are considered specialists in their fields - so the prospect of interviews with such renowned artists has been very stressful, but also very inspiring.



met at the intersection of two streets. Surprised at the size of our interviewees group - two people had expected, and meanwhile we were eight. This seemingly insignificant statistic proved decisive for further developments. What can they possibly have in common Swedish mothers with young children who drink a caffe latte in a cafe with our visit to the apartment and Maciej Agnety? That evening sobotniemu Swedish mothers owe the custom of visiting the home of our interlocutors. This was by far the most surprising and unexpected proposal for this trip!

first theme, which opened the discussion were differences in mentality between the Poles and the Swedes and the Polish inferiority complex. Very interesting perspective on this issue presented Maciej Zaremba, because he told his aklizmatyzacja looked like upon arrival in Sweden and what gave him the prospect of immigration ("If God exists, thanks to him that made me an immigrant"). Matt admitted that, in principle, to this day feels a stranger in Sweden, as a foreigner can not feel certain mental Swedish figures. A very interesting because of our interest in philology was talking about the structure and function of language. Matt and Agneta talked about common experiences related to the translation into Swedish poems of Zbigniew Herbert and the difficulties of the translation process.

Agneta also told about his first trip to the Polish, which took place in 1981 when, together with Maciej yellow Toyota passed through the country. In Poland, there was the atmosphere of euphoria associated with the activities of Solidarity, whose links with the Catholic Church sparked Agnety surprised, because from the perspective of linking the Swedish labor movement of the Catholic mentality seemed impossible.

Another topic, which was jointly addressed the creative process and sources of inspiration. Agneta debut relatively late, at the age of 39 years, has behind it the experience in scientific work and the work of literary criticism. However, the transition to the other side - from criticism to the writer, which is criticized and analyzed, proved to be extremely difficult. Despite the revision of the relationship between art and science are fascinated by it today - in its two areas are trying to reach the same core in various ways. Attempt to resolve the relationship between art and science take a novel Lord Nevermore, because it shows the relationship between Bronislaw Malinowski, personifying the rational world of science and its opposite representing the abstract world of art - Stanislaw Witkiewicz.

with Maciej and we talked a lot about language in the context of his life experiences. Matt came to Sweden as a 18-year-old not knowing any words in Swedish. Today, however, writing, use only the Swedish language. It is in that language has developed his own style, idioms, and specific uses Swedish words. It does not have the freedom of style, when he writes in Polish. Did not manage to acquire it before leaving the country, and during the stay in Sweden, the Polish language he used only occasionally. Matt has also stressed the important role of language, which strongly changes the context of expression, creating a defined reality. Language implies a different point of view, each culture shapes the specific words, phrases, methods of communication, which shows, for example the contrast between the Polish and Swedish eloquence preference for concrete.

also raised the issues of stereotypes and the associated regional traditions. Localism in Sweden, in contrast to the Polish, very strong. This is evident in stereotypes, which are the subjects of jokes Swedish Gothenburg is the second complex of the city, Malmö is a strong bastion of anti-immigrant, and the city of Umeå fanatics because Norrlandzie always existed a strong religious movements. We also talked about the work of the reporter and the temptation to modify the facts in order to increase the attractiveness of the story, and how to search topics for reports. Matt revealed to us his method-just look at what others can not see and find the "soft stories" hidden meanings, which makes it unique among the other Swedish reporters.
