EXHIBITIONS IN POLAND 

Dominika Olszowy in Gdańsk City Gallery

Nonconventional, nonver­bal, with a unique back­ground story. The Bare Belly turns out to be a story of the illusory sense of safety. As soon as we think that we have figured out this whole mind­ful­ness business, that everything fits per­fec­tly into its place, that the time has finally come for us to lie down and breathe, feel and be yourself… well, little did we know.

EXHIBITIONS IN POLAND

Olaf Brzeski’s exhibition at the Galeria Bielska BWA

“The exhibition of Olaf Brzeski, entitled “Wish” con­tains, in its ideological layer, thoughts that, to some extent, con­cern each of us: the desire for good things to happen at home, in the family, in our private plans, as well as in the world as a whole, both the one shaped by people and the one over which man has no influence.”

EXHIBITIONS 2023

Alicja Pakosz
VORTICES

The first individual show at Raster by Alicja Pakosz (born 1996) is a nar­rative woven around the figure of a toxic landscape—obsessively retur­ning as a clas­sic motif from the history of pain­ting and also a vision evoking fear, an under­lying anxiety. An image appearing in the least expec­ted moment like hal­lucinations pres­sing under the eyelids. Something morbid and not entirely benign. The artist plays out this story like film frames in a series of pain­tings in two dif­ferent scales and a fully-​formed diorama.

EXHIBITIONS 2023

Zofia Rydet
ENDLESSLY DISTANT ROADS

Zofia Rydet (1911–1997), creator of the iconic Sociological Record and the fan­tastic World of Feelings and Imagination, was an artist gifted with a sense for observing the entropy of the world around her. This excep­tional photographic per­spec­tive is revealed in all its power in the series Endles­sly Distant Roads, executed in 1980. In the exhibition at Raster, we present a selec­tion of 40 photographs from this unusual and rarely shown collection.

EXHIBITIONS 2022/2023

Karolina Jabłońska
COLD

Chill. Cold prevails out­side. Snow has even fallen, and when we open our lips, our breath turns into clouds of fog, quic­kly rising in the wintry air. When it blows harder, locks of hair stick to the face. Snow­flakes fall over the head, hair, eyebrows, and then slowly melt under the fading body heat.

Catalogue of Edward Dwurnik’s Works

The Edward Dwur­nik Foundation’s priority project is to create an online catalogue of all Edward Dwurnik’s works on canvas, on paper, and in other tech­niques and media. The catalogue will con­tain a reproduction of every work, along with basic infor­mation about each.

Saturday with Karolina Jabłońska

On Satur­day, 17 Decem­ber, at 2:00 pm, we invite you to Raster for a meeting with Karolina Jabłońska, who will lead a tour of her exhibition and present her newly published book Made-​Up Story. For the occasion Karolina has prepared a special limited series of works on paper, which will be offered for sale along with the book.

EXHIBITIONS IN POLAND

Zbigniew Rogalski’s exhibition at the Miejski Ośrodek Sztuki

(Polski) “Rzadko jest tak, że patrząc na obraz widzimy go w całej okazałości. Możemy go zobaczyć albo z dystansu albo z bliska, przyglądając się detalom, próbując wyłapać wzrokiem pociągnięcie pędzla. Aspekt patrzenia jest dla sztuki kluczowy. Możemy dowol­nie przyglądać się dziełom, ale równocześnie nie możemy ich dotknąć. Kiedy jesteśmy ograniczeni brakiem jed­nego ze zmysłów, wtedy nasilają się pozostałe. A kiedy przed­miot, na który patrzymy nie jest zbyt wyraźny, wyostrzamy wzrok.”

Slavs and Tatars
Story in The New York Times

The New York Times has published a profile of the col­lec­tive Slavs and Tatars under the inspiring title “These Artists Bring Pic­kles to the Party.”

ART FAIR

WARSAW WINTER ART FAIR

WARSAW GAL­LERY WEEK­END 2022

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.
