German media in a peculiar way joined the discussion about the Warsaw Museum of Modern Art, whose fresh office were located in Defilad. Interestingly, they linked the discussion around the museum to... the AfD organization and stated that “Polish nationalists” did not like modernism in architecture. "The dispute about the Warsaw Museum of Modern Art is in line with the global trend that AfD besides adopted," said Die Welt in an article entitled "Kulturkampf on the Warsaw Museum".
‘Die Welt” cannot realize that individual may not like the look of the fresh Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. All those who have a negative opinion of him are called "right-wing nationalists".
Polish right-wing nationalists recognized modernist architecture as an enemy of the nation. According to them, it is contrary to human nature and destroys the conventional family
— stated the online edition of the German journal.
Gust and Nationalism
The newspaper's attention did not escape the critical comments of the Euro MP PiS Patrick Jaka, who they described as a man who had not previously shown interest in architecture, until a fresh museum was opened.
Within 48 hours, Jaki posted 7 posts on Facebook about the museum. In the pictures he compared the building to construction containers, unfurnished supermarkets or Lego blocks.
— described ‘Die Welt’.
Of course, the German paper did not halt there and was outraged that another PiS politicians and the Confederacy's "straight right" were besides "putting their anger at the museum's modern architecture on social networks and tv interviews."
According to Philipp Fritz of “Die Welt”, architecture is now appearing as another field of political-ideo fighting, in which “right-minded” Democrats and liberals are followers of modernist trends, and nationalists and chauvinists are their opponents.
Agitation of the Polish right against the museum follows the global trend: modernist architecture has become part of the cultural conflict between the left and the right. The question of what is thought of bare buildings is sometimes discussed as loudly as sex, religion or immigration
“ He wrote.
Anti-national style?
The German diary besides noted that in social media the fresh MSN office in Warsaw became the subject of many attacks and criticisms. "Die Welt" is outraged that memes are utilized to discredit the Museum.
Modernism, could be “classics” Miesa van der Rohe or Le Corbusiera; brutality, naturalism or deconstructivism. The fact that what is beautiful is always to be “classical” or “traditional” architecture, and what is supposedly unattractive is always “modern”, shows that these agitators are not truly about architecture. Rather, it is simply a tool to discredit and reject everything liberal or modern
“Die Welt” by Fritz.
According to him, Polish social media frequently postulates that modernism in architecture destroys conventional household and does not correspond to human nature. He besides explained that Poles should act against modernism as anti-national style.
Political ‘linkages’
This kind of opinion of the German paper linked to ... An alternate to Germany, that is, hated by the EU and the German establishment right-wing party, which is inactive gaining fresh supporters.
‘Die Welt stated that in the AfD project, which was submitted to the Parliament of the Land of Saxony-Anhalt, Bauhaus's kind was referred to as "aberration of modernism" and highlighted its "globalistic uniformity".
According to Philipp Fritz, dislike of MSN is due to the fact that Warsaw president Rafał Trzaskowski did not hide his support for the fresh headquarters. This "hate" to modernism, as the German author says, is therefore... the derivative of the presidential elections in Poland.
‘Die Welt besides reached the manager of the museum Joanna Mytkowska, who clearly shared the narration of the Germans and stated that "the criticism of the right hand has no grounds", and everything reflects political struggle.
We're not truly part of this ritual dispute, this cultural war. No substance what we say or say, this does not affect this dynamics.
“Die Welt” said.
It must be highly insolent to compose a akin article on Poland and Poles, utilizing the word "kulturkampf" and in relation to the city, which was completely annihilated by German imperialism and chauvinism.
