Saski nie śpij!—Warsaw public space site-specific project cooperated with Agnieszka Wasilewska, 2017-18.
Saski nie śpij! was a public space art project carried out in 2017 in Warsaw’s Saxon Garden and a section of Piłsudski Square. Anna Marczak and Agnieszka Wasilewska sought to revive the memory of the historic garden, developing the project as a continuation of their diploma work, Saski Projekt, created under the supervision of Professor Andrzej Węcławski at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. The initiative was funded by an art scholarship from the City of Warsaw for 2017 and continued online in 2018 via www.saskiniespij.pl. Through a series of artistic installations—such as the Fruit Arbor, Meteorological Kiosk, and Milk Drop Pavilion—Saski nie śpij! aimed to reference the garden’s rich history.
