Performance date established from the Facebook archive
Beauty took place on 3 December 2017 at the National Museum in Szczecin. The date is supplied by the metadata of the event shared on 29 November, together with the artist’s confirmation that the announced actions took place. The programme specified 15:00–15:30; this is not an independent measurement of the performance’s duration. The post of 13 February 2018 subsequently presented documentation of Beauty as the seventh action in the Realność cycle, again naming Oskar Chmioła and Valerii Burianenko. That later post’s date is not the date of the performance.

WHAT IS BEAUTY?
A statement about beauty as a value that allows us to reach the inner nature of phenomena, touch the invisible, look into the essence of things and encounter universal values.
An art installation was placed in the main hall of the National Museum (Wały Chrobrego 3), and video art was projected onto its
spherical vault.
Oskar Chmioła (image) and Valerii Burianenko (sound), in
the performance Beauty, presented a multimedia artistic action. It was a kind of dialogue between two artists based on the symbol of entering the interior of images. It was an excellent
opportunity to contemplate the history of art to the sounds of clarinet and alto saxophone.
Valerii Burianenko
the saxophone performer on the soundtracks of the Polish short film “Every Year” and the Russian series “Code of Honour”. Formerly an artist of the Kirovohrad Philharmonic.
