Michelle Rawlings
FRIEND OF A FRIEND

In the 2nd edition of the Friend of a Friend project, Galeria Raster invites you to an encoun­ter of three artists from three con­tinents: Flo Kasearu from Estonia, Sachiko  Kazama from Japan, and Michelle Raw­lings from the United States. Each of them works in a dif­ferent medium and cul­tural con­text, employing an individual, expres­sive lan­guage. In varying ways, all of them negotiate the social and political dimen­sions of artistic work.

1000 HANDS

Metaphorically and seasonally, the exhibition 1000 Hands suits the climate of the pre-​spring thaw, illuminating a land­scape of exhaustion and approaching, intuitively sensed change. In Polish literature this metaphor car­ries a political dimen­sion. In the works shown together here by Rafał Buj­now­ski (1974–), Peter Puklus (1980–) and Zofia Rydet (1911–1997), what is vital is the very process of trans­for­mation, and the accom­panying ambivalence, the tem­perature of inter­per­sonal relations and the poten­tial of the human hands from the title.

SLIPPERY

“Slippery” at Raster is Karolina Jabłońska’s first individual show in Warsaw. In her pain­tings girls wear rings and guys wear wat­ches, but the stereo­typical logic of dominance is rever­sed. The heroines here are idols, sooth­sayers and thieves, and relation­ships and pas­sions explode as violen­tly as they end, in emotion. Here exag­geration and hyper­bole are the rule for both com­position and life.

ROMUALD GUTT’S WARSAW

A book devoted to the work of Romuald Gutt, one of the most impor­tant Polish architects of the 20th cen­tury, forerun­ner of organic architec­ture, designer of charac­teristic buil­dings of grey brick, public edifices and residen­tial structures.

Slavs and Tatars
Noblesse Oblige (sunflower)

Slavs and Tatars’ work often mixes registers of high and low, high-​brow ideologies and low-​brow media (pic­kles to bal­loons). In that vein, roasted sun­flower seeds are a staple snack, shared across the Slavic-​Turkic peoples from Eastern Europe to Cen­tral Asia. Like the wheat of Wheat Mollah, the sun­flower seed becomes a symbol of proletariat or rather, its 21st cen­tury suces­sor, the précariat.
