Item consists of a video recording by Eric Bednarski entitled "MDM". MDM explores the relationship between architecture and ideology by focusing on one Warsaw neighbourhood. The Marszalkowska housing district was one of the first and most famous of Poland’s 1950s socialist-realist housing developments. Conceived on a monumental scale as a model of socialist planning and an architectural show-piece for the new Soviet-Backed Communist regime, it rose up from the ruins of a city almost completely destroyed in WWII. Architects, planners and urban and cultural historians evoke the controversies surrounding MDM’s conception and construction. They examine the changing meanings that have attached to it over the years, and its place in the Warsaw of today.

Item consists of a video recording entitled "Blue hammer, door knocking, and I don’t even try". This recording has been described as: "These projects centre around a form of transaction or exchange. In the performance piece Blue Hammer I have gone to a hardware store and created an “activated situation” by holding a promotional test. I have asked the customers to tell me which hammer they prefer and then they can take a free blue plaster hammer which I have made. As the piece continue the lines are blurred and there is confusion about which role each of us belongs to. On this occasion I am examining how our individual needs and freedoms are altered on a daily basis as we move between public and commercial spaces. (taken from liner notes)."
