The longtime chief of a Polish art museum has been unceremoniously axed by the country’s right-wing government:
The longtime leader of Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź, Poland has been unceremoniously ousted from his position, marking the latest in a series of recent high-profile museum departures imposed by the country’s right-wing government.
Yet the state Ministry of Culture and Heritage declined to renew his contract last December, offering him the title of interim director instead. For many, his firing was just a matter of time. “I am not going to get rid of the conceptual art that was acquired for the collection and is exhibited,” Biernacki said. “But I intend to diversify the [work on] offer, introduce other narratives. No one said that you should only deal with pro-environmental, gender, or queer art that is promoted by the Western cultural institutions.”
