Iza Opiełka
THE TURNS OF THINGS

Presented together, Opiełka’s pain­tings form a pul­sating archive of abs­tract impul­ses. Their mechanical appearance interacts with the sur­prisin­gly sen­sual movement of individual motifs. The rhythm of life becomes more impor­tant than the shape of things.

Aneta Grzeszykowska
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.

Janek Simon
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.

MOUTH TO MOUTH

Taking air into one’s mouth can happen in dif­ferent situations: to inflate a bal­loon, or to stop oneself from saying too much, but also when per­for­ming mouth-to-mouth rescucitation. All of these cases appear in Oskar Dawicki’s latest exhibition.

Nicolas Grospierre
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.

Dominika Olszowy
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 […]

WGW MEETING: HOW TO CARE FOR AN ARTIST’S LEGACY?

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.

SIREN SLUT

Siren Slut is a pain­terly treatise on desire and the search for ful­fil­ment. Each pain­ting here is a form of rap­prochement, a sexual relation­ship, but at the same time a figure of extreme emotional tension.

TRAUMA PORN

Jishkariani, who was born the same year that Geo­r­gia regained its indepen­dence, can indeed be brutally honest, and she does com­bine for­malism with morality, but generational traumas are also reflec­ted in her works. The star­ting material for these pieces is the decorative tapestries that were popular in the Soviet Union, which the artist decon­structs and proces­ses by applying embroidered mottos.

GLOBUS HYSTERICUS

The exhibition is titled „Globus Hystericus”. This sump­tuous Latin phrase refers to a common psychosomatic disorder—simply a lump in the throat. Whether a frog in the throat or a bent treetop, every crisis has a tan­gible shape, and every shape has its artist. A healer.
