WARSAW GALLERY WEEKEND 2025
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.

EXHIBITIONS 2025
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.

EXHIBITIONS 2025
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.
EXHIBITION 2024/2025
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.
ART FAIRS 2024
Traditionally, in the first week of December we invite you to Miami, where Raster is taking part in the NADA contemporary art fair.

WARSAW GALLERY WEEKEND 2024
Karma is a narrative of animalization, but also the personification of bodies reduced to the role of objects.
WARSAW GALLERY WEEKEND 2024
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.

exhibitions 2019
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.
2019 exhibitions
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.
2018/19 exhibitions
“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.

The post-romantic figure of the drunken artist is fading into the past, leaving behind a landscape littered with hallucinations, depravity, and shattered illusions. This is the story of the intimate ties between contemporary art and vodka. Conceived as a medley of artworks and documentary content, the exhibition features Krzysztof M. Bednarski, Olaf Brzeski, Michał Budny, Rafał Bujnowski, Oskar Dawicki, Edward Dwurnik, Władysław Hasior, Jerzy Lewczyński, Honorata Martin, Dominika Olszowy, Zbigniew Rogalski, Wilhelm Sasnal, and others.

2018 exhibitions
Contemporary visual culture treats the body as a plastic material that can be formed, shaped, distorted and deformed as needed or desired. The images gathered for our exhibition are a special collection of such bodies subjected to various treatments and forms of subduing and controlling the body.
The cosmetic masks photographed by Grzeszykowska effectively reshape the artist’s face. The school lessons in anatomy in Koťátková’s collages results in deconstruction of the holistic unity of body and psyche. Araki’s nudes frankly address sexual practices grounded in domination.

2018 exhibitions
“Friend of a Friend” is a concept based on the principle of friendly collaboration between contemporary art galleries. It puts together Warsaw-based spaces as hosts with international guests, and thus aims to establish an alternative platform for commercial galleries to present contemporary art. The group exhibition prepared at Raster will include works by Breyer P-Orridge (1950, UK) from Zurich’s Galerie Bernhard, Andrea Kvas (1986, IT) and Nick Bastis (1985, US) from Vienna’s Ermes-Ermes gallery, as well as Olaf Brzeski.
2018 exhibition
In his latest series of paintings, which he worked on nonstop for the past year or more, Matecki takes on the vastness of art. A tangible symbol of its fecundity is the heavy piles of superfluous exhibition catalogs and art magazines which the artist browses through in search of inspiring material for his own work. Matecki gives new life to reproductions, transforming them into sharp, witty miniature oil paintings. The treatments he applies generate surprising effects. Here art is submitted to an authorial compression and regains its vigor. Often with a single gesture, Matecki extracts the essence from the work of other artists and creates entirely new paintings exuding energy and humor, a kind of contemporary, masterly capriccio.
