The residents of Warsaw will be able to admire an artistic construction in the form of a giant rainbow on plac Zbawiciela (Savior square) only until the end of summer holidays. Subsequently, the art installation will be dismounted and moved to a different place in Warsaw. "During the weekend of August 22-23, a fotomat will be installed," said Magdalena Mich, a spokeswoman for the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, the owner of the rainbow In December, the permission to occupy the square expires, therefore the institute is looking for a new place for the installation. "We don't want to reveal the names of our potential partners, before the end of negotiations," she said. It is said that the construction may be deployed in front of the Center for Contemporary Art in Warsaw (Centrum Sztuki Współczesnej). The installation is stirring controversy in Poland since it is associated with the LGBT movement. It was set on fire several times by nationalists and criticized by conservative politicians.
