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.

SHIP

In the Raster garden, Olaf Brzeski presents a souvenir family photo. But it takes the original form of a spatial sculp­tural com­position of ceramic and steel. The shape of the ship in the title is sug­gestive of the female body, and onboard are an astronaut, the astronaut’s mother, a teenage boy, and the head of a dog.

Aneta Grzeszykowska and Zofia Rydet

Raster presents a dialogue between two recognized female artists from two generations: Zofia Rydet (1911-1997) and Aneta Grzeszykow­ska (b.1974). In their works a creative approach to the photographic medium merges with deep social and existen­tial reflec­tion. Both—Rydet’s photomon­tages and Grzeszykowska’s sub­ver­sive self-portraits—focus on the image of the female body and engage in empathetic polemics with its various cul­tural roles

The protagonist of Karolina Jabłońska’s latest pain­tings faces social, political, and aesthetic chan­ges that have occur­red in Poland – a coun­try whose politics in recent years have become known for an anti-​feminist agenda and various forms of exclusion.

CONSTELLATIONS

Since the birth of photography, it has remained in a loving embrace with its older kis­sing cousin, pain­ting. They serve each other, inspire each other, and swap roles. But this intimate relation­ship car­ries a whiff of shame, as the lovers don’t like to appear in public together. The exhibition Con­stel­lations tries to break this taboo.

GALAXY

Galaxy is a refreshing col­lec­tion of new and super-​new pain­tings by Przemysław Matecki. His pain­terly cosmos con­stan­tly draws energy from the ten­sion between light and dark­ness. This is pain­ting that appears on the sur­face to be full of con­tradic­tions, the main one being the com­bination of thick paint textures with flat photographic images cut out of magazines and catalogues.

Azbuka Strikes Back

Sometimes the shapes given to sounds can be more like a prison than a place to call home. Between 1927 and 1991, the lan­guages of 25 mil­lion peoples in the Soviet empire chan­ged alphabets once, twice, and sometimes even three times. This is the story of fugitive sounds in search of shelter…
