„Z tamtej strony Wisły”
”On the Other Side of the Vistula”

Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the myth of Warsaw’s artistic district of Praga. He compares the run of the mill opinions disseminated in the media with the mundane reality of the local art studios. Praga has been proclaimed an artistic quarter comparable with those functioning in, i. a. West Berlin. It turns out that the everyday life of the town house in Lubelska Street and other similar ones in Praga requires much effort and multiple organisational solutions, making it possible for this emergent artistic quarter to survive and develop.
