Abstract

The article constitutes a reflection on modern art galleries established by artists in Krakow. Using Widna and Nasz ogródek as examples, it presents these spaces not only as the place of dialogue between artists, curators and visitors, but also as places that create an alternative world of art in the city. The figure of a flâneur has been used to describe these dynamics, thereby suggesting narrative language as a possible tool for studying independent art institutions.
