Wiatrołap

Dorotowo, a village near Olsztyn, is 189 kilometers from Turnus at Wolska. That's about 270,000 Zuzia steps and 236,244 Ant steps. The dachshund would have to cover around 1,890,000 steps for the same distance, meaning it would not be worth it. Fortunately, the dachshund does not have to move anywhere. It is even against its nature*. It's settled here for good, at least for 2 the next month. However, if someone wanted to cover the route between Turnus at Wolska and Dorotowo on foot during this time, they could do it almost 10 times, even 19.5, without sleep. However, this is necessary for the functioning of the organism. To go around the gallery of Turnus at Wolska, Zuzia has to walk 35 steps, and Ant has to walk 30 steps. To cover a distance equal to the route from Turnus in Wolska to Dorotowo, one must circle the gallery 7,714 times. Interestingly, the length of the dachshund corresponds to Zuzia's height. This coincidence became the subject of Ant's jokes. Zuzia could get back at Ant because the dimensions of one of the presented works are equal to the length of Ant's foot, but she does not. They still have too many steps to go. The above remarks are not exercises in anthropometry. They are closer to bizarre riddles, in which a solution is given before asking the question. Another of them is, for example: What is a wiatrołap? It is a small room separating the interior of the building from the entrance. Or more troublesome: How much does a dachshund weigh? A lot. The next could be: Whose artwork is this? Did you close the door? Are we there yet? But the round of questions is at the end. Following this lead, you can conclude that many questions will be unanswered. Or maybe some of them will remain explained as promised towards the end. It is also possible that the above calculations are false for this text. And it takes fewer steps to reach Dorotowo. Like 30, sometimes up to 35, which is not much. Even after such a short trip, it's worth resting. Rest is essential to be able to return to efficient work. Start by taking off your shoes. The shoe will also rest and, in the meantime, will get used to the fear of knowing how many steps it has left to take. Or it will change its function. For example, it will become a home for a field mouse. The mouse will start bringing hay to it, decorating and preparing the table long before choosing the right tablecloth. Mouse will hang out with the bird, only to break with it in a few months with a dried bulrush. Maybe they'll get drunk together on the end of the wine from the bottle left by the dumpster. Rather than biting its tongue, the dizzy mouse will inadvertently tell the bird how much the dachshund weighs. Fortunately, the role of the field mouse is completely invented. It is because Zuzia gave Ant an ultimatum. It's either a mouse or a bird – we don't mix rodents with birds. Ant accepted Zuzia's condition. Therefore, we can be sure that the hay in the shoe is not the work of a mouse. So whose piece is this? Agreeing with Zuzia Ant led to a compromise, which is one of the elementary conditions for successful cooperation. This one, however, was not burdened with an earlier misunderstanding. Just as Zuzia's question about whether Ant closed the door, it is not a lack of trust. After entering the room, the door should be closed. Wiatrołap is a thermal partition that protects the interior against temperature loss. Wiatrołap looks after the house. The devils standing in it need to warm up, so they hit the bottle. Contorted, they support the wall, waiting for the groundless stage fright to break. Too many devils spoil the dachshund. Curatorial texts should introduce visitors to the exhibition concept and explain the meaning of individual works. If I had to explain what this exhibition is about and why its title is, we should go back to Dorotowo, and we still haven't got there. And if I were to explain what friendship is, unfortunately, I don't have enough space to solve this riddle. – Are we there yet? - Ant asks Zuzia – We've only just begun. *Coffee tables produced in Poland during the 60s and 70s were commonly called "Dachshund".
