Remarks about 36 Smolna Street

Summary/Abstract: This text about the historical Karol Tchorek Studio in 36 Smolna Street in Warsaw is an attempt at gathering fundamental information from the viewpoint of the Studio’s unclear ontological status, historical character, and uncertain future. The first aspect is associated with its origin, multi-motif nature, and history, which the author has been tackling for years as caretaker, cleaning lady, archivist, and friend of the family. The text thus divides its attention between history, culture, architecture, and management. In order to outline the context it broadens the perspective by including the area directly adjoining the Studio. It also contains quotations from the famous Wprowadzenie do ogólnej Teorii Miejsca and indicates connections between Mariusz Tchorek’s Theory of the Place and the special nature of the discussed place.
