Emilia Kina
LE SOIR QUI TOMBE

Does a pain­ting con­ceal more than it reveals? Emilia Kina examines the nature of pain­tings, the illusion imbed­ded in them, but also their physical con­struc­tion. „Le soir qui tombe” is the title of a pain­ting by the Bel­gian sur­realist René Magritte, which has now inspired Kina to create a multi-​phase pain­terly narrative.

Oskar Dawicki
MEN

This new project by Oskar Dawicki com­bines elements of per­for­mance and photography and is per­meated, as is a number of previous works of the artist’s, by the mood of existen­tial sorrow. The series of photographs prompts a reflec­tion on the role and position of traditional masculinity. To be a man is today – as the work visually argues – a chal­len­ging task, and a con­dition sub­ject to extreme pressure.

RASTER SCULPTURE GARDEN

This year we are thril­led to present works of Olaf Brzeski, Michal Budny and Dominika Olszowy accom­panied by two special Ukrainian guests –
Yuriy Biley and Mar­haryta Rieznik.

200 REVELATIONS

The new exhibition is devoted to the grey areas of the imagination—religious fervour and visions arising from an excess of metaphysical stimuli or, on the con­trary, from a scar­city of such stimuli and a lon­ging for spirituality in a world dominated by the economics of everyday pragmatism.

Aneta Grzeszykowska
WAVE

In her latest exhibition, Grzeszykow­ska returns to her first work, Album (2005), which serves as a kind of creed for the artist, com­prising photographs with an erased image of the artist. The new Album is a con­tinuation the history of her life, from the birth of her daugh­ter Franciszka.

THE LAST ONE TURN OUT THE LIGHTS
2ND PHOTOGRAPHY SALON

Photography depends on light, and without it images are extin­guished. This simple rule of physics also car­ries a metaphorical sense. How to cope without illuminated per­spec­tives and a clear vision of the future? The theme of the second edition of the Photography Salon at Raster Gal­lery is “exhaustion”, in both a photographic and a human […]

Edward Dwurnik
PINES

Not tulips. Pines. The work of Edward Dwur­nik still abounds in unfamiliar views and mysterious groves. For example Polish Pines, growing in a tight ring on a broad, undulating meadow, their crowns against the back­ground of a fading, dark-​blue sky. The exhibition was prepared in cooperation with the Edward Dwur­nik Foundation.

Marcin Maciejowski
POLISH ENVIRONS

For this year’s edition of the Warsaw Gal­lery Week­end, we have prepared an individual exhibition of Marcin Maciejow­ski, a distin­guished pain­ter who recovers Raphael’s ‘Portrait of a Young Man’, stolen by the Nazis, but he also polemicizes with the con­servative, statist model of ‘national heritage and sport’ which now forms part of Poland’s ministry of culture.

SCULPTURE GARDEN

(Polski) W ramach pierw­szej edycji rastrowego Parku rzeźby prezen­tujemy program łączący działania per­for­matywne z tradycyj­nymi obiek­tami rzeźbiarskimi. Wśród zaproszonych artystów znajdują się między innymi Dominika Olszowy, Oskar Dawicki i kolek­tyw Slavs and Tatars.

ICE SAINTS

Fulfilling the long-​held dream of a garden in the gal­lery, we invite visitors to a meadow where wild­flowers mingle with weeds, day with night, art with the memory of art. At the exhibition can be seen works by Michał Budny, Oskar Dawicki, Edward Dwur­nik, Milena Korol­czuk, Przemysław Kwiek, Marcin Maciejow­ski, Przemysław Matecki, Bartek Materka, Cyryl Polaczek, Zbigniew Rogal­ski, Łukasz Rusz­nica, Maria Szkop.

OD PODSZEWKI. SOFT MATTERS

The exhibition of Aneta Grzeszykow­ska, Zina Isupova, Karolina Jabłońska, Emilia Kina, Małgorzata Mirga-​Tas, and Michelle Raw­lings. The exhibition looks at the other side of the images and reveals the for­got­ten physical and func­tional qualities of the canvas and the original role of the fabric — the material from which clothes are made.

Paulina Stasik
PROTECTRESSES

Stasik’s pain­tings essay a return to a lost, supra-​sexual unity. The guides along this path are the caretakers from the title: female figures of shamans, seducers and syrens. The exhibition Protec­tres­ses is the first individual presen­tation of the artist’s works in Warsaw.

Karolina Jabłońska, Sophie Thun
ROOM TOUR

The heroine of the works of Karolina Jabłońska and Sophie Thun is a young woman, an artist seeking per­sonal liberation and empower­ment in art. Room Tour is an exhibitionist inspec­tion of the space in which she creates. A room of one’s own, once a symbol of creative eman­cipation, now becomes a space of loneliness and melan­choly in the time of the pan­demic and the social isolation it has imposed.
