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.

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.

FELIX Art Fair

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.

NADA Miami

At this year’s NADA fair in Miami, Raster shows works of Emilia Kina, Janek Simon and Paulina Stasik.

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.

200 REVELATIONS

The new exhibition is devoted to the grey areas of the imagination—religious fervour and visions arising from an excess of metaphysical stimuli or, on the con­trary, from a scar­city of such stimuli and a lon­ging for spirituality in a world dominated by the economics of everyday pragmatism.
