In the autumn of 2012 a 58-year-old man acted out against a painting of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Czestochowa by throwing lightbulbs filled with black paint at it. In consideration of the rhetorical and artistic valors of the use of paint as a weapon, Dawicki decided to apply that idea to the white cube of the gallery space. One of about a dozen specially-prepared lightbulbs was smashed against the wall of the gallery prior to the opening of a group show with Rafał Bujnowski, titled The Drunkard’s Dog at the Gdanska Galeria Miejska (curated by Patrycja Ryłko).
