Olaf Brzeski
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.

TWO LIGHTS

Two Lights is a jour­ney into a world of visual sen­sations. Abs­tract works by Elsner and Stańczak, shown together for the first time, draw viewers in with their spec­tacular sur­faces, resul­ting from a com­plex and time-​consuming pain­ting process.

Karolina Jabłońska in Sopot

The exhibition ‘Preserves. Works from 2023–24’ is a testament to and documen­tation of the develop­ment of Jabłońska’s autotheoretical and autofic­tional prac­tices in pain­ting over recent years. 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…

INFLORESCENCE

Michał Budny’s art grows and matures with each new exhibition. The cur­rent show draws its drama direc­tly from the aura of the garden. The post-​minimalism which the artist has been faith­ful to from the start now takes on sur­prisin­gly vital forms.

Zofia Rydet
From the World of Feelings and Imagination cycle. Motherhood

The series of photomon­tages World of Feelings and Imagination, also published in book form in 1979, holds a special place in Rydet’s oeuvre. It is a metaphorical nar­rative of human life, alluding to the tradition of sur­realism but told from an empathetic, feminist perspective.

Zofia Rydet
Endlessly Distant Roads

The Endles­sly Distant Roads series Zofia Rydet described as “a metaphorical story about life and roads” and added the struc­ture of a quasi-​conceptual typology in which images of empty roads, road signs and cros­ses were juxtaposed.

Zofia Rydet
Little Man

Little Man was Zofia Rydet’s first exten­ded photographic series, which she worked on in 1952–1963. The sub­jects of the photos taken in Poland, and in her travels around Europe and the Middle East (Albania, Bul­garia, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Egypt and Lebanon), are chil­dren, cap­tured in the conven­tion of humanist photography.

SIXTEENTH WORLD

The work of Janek Simon grows out of experien­ces of travel between diverse cul­tures, economies and visions of the future, which the artist com­bines using innovative digital tools and DIY practice. The sculp­ture series “Meta Folklore”, executed over the past two years, is an artistic, tech­nological and political fantasy—a vision of a new, univer­sal art created using artificial intel­ligence fed by a database of thousands of non-​academic sculp­tures from all over the world.

Oskar Zięta
COURTYARD SCULPTURES

Oskar Zięta’s design prac­tice derives from a moder­nistic ethos of innovation and tech­nology which drives aesthetics. The point of depar­ture for the project prepared especially for the Raster Sculp­ture Garden is the figure of the rug-​beating frame typically found in the cour­tyard of a housing com­plex, from which the artist explores a sur­prising space between func­tional garden fur­niture and an abs­tract, futuristic spatial forms.

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.

Digesting

Digestion con­tains many anth­ropomor­phic codes. We refer to ‘stones in the belly’ or say that ‘a stone got caught in my throat’ when we are thin­king of something unbearable or frigh­tening. In the pain­ting, stones are found in the oesophagus and the intestines. Digestion is impos­sible, deposits in the intestines have accumulated over many years. The liver is like lava, the lungs are a pond, and the heart is filled with the memory of lovers. The organism may be dys­func­tional, but something con­stan­tly enters the heroine’s mouth and breaks through the stones in the oesophagus. It’s an afterimage of the city with a glow of lights above it.

STONES

On 22 April, we cor­dially invite you to the opening of a show of new works by Paulina Stasik at Raster Gal­lery. In her latest pain­tings and drawings, the artist creates a cosmological map of her own imagination, calls forth images of androgynous bodies, and metaphorically examines their metabolism. The figurative scenes allude to archetypes and myths inscribed in the spiritual, biological and sexual iden­tity of the body.
