RELATED WORKS

Aneta Grzeszykowska
Face Book

The new photography series by Aneta Grzeszykow­ska is another radical self-​portrait of the artist. The point of depar­ture this time is 19th- and 20th-century photographs documen­ting psycho-​physiological experiments on the human body and the medical archives.

Aneta Grzeszykowska
Bolimorphy

In Bolimor­phy we wit­nes­ses a con­stant mul­tiplication of the artist’s body – with every minute it becomes more and more machine-​like.

Marcin Maciejowski
It’s legal. Are you in?

Przemek Matecki
Small Paintings

Matecki gives new life to reproduc­tions from exhibition catalogs and art magazines, trans­for­ming them into puz­zling, witty miniature oil pain­tings, with a format not exceeding a frame of a 20×20 cm square.

Michelle Rawlings
Dance dance revolution

Rawlings’ pain­tings are often based on material found in magazines or newspapers—she’s especially interested in images that feel pain­terly. This pain­ting was inspired by a pic­ture of a young man playing the arcade game called Dance Dance Revolution, cap­tioned as a game that Adam Lanza was playing shor­tly before the Sandy Hook shooting. The artist worked with the image in Photoshop and created a pixelated ver­sion of it, similar to her rain­bow pixel series.

Michelle Rawlings
Self-portraits

Rawlings is interested in the proces­ses of com­pres­sing and infan­tilization of art and art history for the pur­poses of education or pop cul­ture, which leads her to not only analyzing the rhetoric of school books on art, but also to con­juring up the artistic fan­tasies of teenagers in her work. The point of reference for this series was an art project the artist did in high school: she made self-​portraits in which she laid down a lot of really heavy wet paint and carved into them before they dried.

Janek Simon
Polyethnic

A series of sculp­tures mer­ging ethnic motifs from India, Africa, South America, Europe, and Poland.

Zbigniew Rogalski
Tears

The piece was created in col­laboration with Bytom label who sup­plied the flowing band of wool­len black fabric and produced the embroidery. It refers to the cinema screen and its rol­ling credits, as seen through eyes glassy with emotion.
