WARSAW GAL­LERY WEEK­END 2025

Edward Dwurnik, Zofia Rydet, Paweł Althamer
PEOPLE

Chochołów, Sławoszyno, Chęciny, Celejów — the exhibition takes place far from art cen­tres, and its protagonists are not artists but the titular People — residents of Polish vil­lages and small towns. The nar­rative unfolds over three decades, from the 1960s to the early 1990s. During that time, indepen­den­tly of each other and out­side the framework of official artistic policy, Edward Dwur­nik and Zofia Rydet embar­ked on their own unique, per­sonal jour­neys deep into the country.

Krzysztof Zieliński <br>HOMETOWN

EXHIBITIONS 2020

Krzysztof Zieliński
HOMETOWN

Wąbrzeźno, an ordinary little town star­ting with W, down near the end of the alphabet, in a lan­guage where “w” could stand for wszędzie—anywhere, por­trayed by the photographer after a decade of sys­temic chan­ges up to the eve of Poland’s joining the European Union, became a visual synonym for the creeping trans­for­mation. Wor­king on colour negatives and alluding to the minimalist poetics of topographic photography, Zieliński created an image of the post-​socialist coun­tryside that is the first of its kind, moving and empathetic, con­struc­ted from mist and a thousand and one shades of grey.

EXHIBITIONS 2020

Michał Budny, Kajetan Sosnowski
EQUIVALENT ARRANGEMENT

At the joint exhibition Equivalent Arran­gement Michał Budny and Kajetan Sosnow­ski meet for the first time. The works of both artists, seemin­gly abs­tract, in various ways defy easy clas­sifications of genre. They operate through images and masses but use little pain­ting or sculp­ting. Their com­positions generally finds its origins in an abs­tract drawing—noted on paper or only conceptualized—as a type of minimalist score, the sim­plest recor­ding of an idea.

Posters

Collector’s offer


Posters

Original posters by Edward Dwur­nik from the 1980s, which accom­panied individual shows by the artist. The expres­sive style of these works and the spareness of their prin­ting per­fec­tly cap­ture the specific climate of the crisis decade of mar­tial law, strikes, and the dawn of the Polish transformation.

Existence


Existence

Aneta Grzeszykow­ska, who under­went gym­nastics training during her school years, also uses her own body as a tool, creating filmic choreographies and political posters with it. Ist­nienie emer­ged in the wake of the Women’s Strike protests, but it also func­tions as a form of existen­tial training, promp­ting reflec­tion on the inseparability of lan­guage, con­sciousness, and its bodily vessel.

Dr Schnabel


Dr Schnabel

Janek Simon is known for his unconven­tional jour­neys into the depths of the world and into distant moments of history, trans­lating his experien­ces from these voyages into the lan­guage of con­tem­porary, democratic tech­nologies. This time, in a series of figures realized using his distinc­tive 3D prin­ting tech­nique, the artist evokes the figure of the plague doctor.

Helioderm


Helioderm

Nicolas Grospierre is a renow­ned artist and photographer, an explorer of brutalist architec­ture, and a creator of illusionistic photographic objects. A few years ago, he discovered the charms of heliography—images created using sun­light. The abs­tract com­positions he produces on fabrics have been exhibited, among other places, at the Palace on the Isle in Warsaw’s Łazienki Royal Park. Helioderm is an intriguing attempt to trans­fer this same method onto the sur­face of human skin.

Broken Penny


Broken Penny

Dominika Olszowy is an artist unafraid to stoop low—picking up tiny frag­ments of reality, a lump of last year’s snow, or a fresh tuft of dust swept from the floor. In her hands, the small and humble can shine, as with the “broken penny”—a signature pen­dant on a silver chain. A new stan­dard in artistic […]
