The exhibition of paintings from the collection of Zachęta – National Gallery of Art in Warsaw prepared for the National Forum of Music in Wrocław includes works by artists using various languages ​​of abstraction, from the 1960s to the beginning of the 21st century.

The exhibition presents a dynamic map of the post-WWII art world in the context of Polish artists’ and art critics’ travels to Europe and beyond. Marked on the map have been the points and vectors of those travels but also how – despite the Iron Curtain and the policies of mutual isolation – knowledge and inspirations were exchanged. The titular ‘migrations’ pertain not only to the artists themselves and their official and semi-official foreign trips but also to the phenomenon of travelling works and wandering ideas.
