Some places invite us to look twice. At Bracka 5A in Warsaw, exposed brick, worn plaster and open windows hold traces of lives that came before. In the courtyard, an inscription left in 1945 by the mother of Warsaw Uprising fighter Antoni “Antek Rozpylacz” Godlewski preserves a deeply personal memory of the city’s past.
During Warsaw Gallery Weekend 2026, these historic spaces opened to contemporary artand new encounters through Crash Club Projects. Paintings, sculpture and installations appeared among timber beams and weathered walls; the courtyard became a place to gather. The building itself shaped how the art was seen and experienced.
With private apartments planned for these spaces in the near future, the exhibition offered a brief moment of public discovery between chapters in the building’s life.
At LARE, we deeply value this meeting of cultural memory and creative expression. Seeing these rooms filled with art and conversation reminds us that continuity also means allowing new stories to unfold.
Our thanks to Crash Club Projects, the participating artists and more than twenty galleries for bringing this chapter to life in a place that means much to LARE.
