ICE SAINTS

Fulfilling the long-​held dream of a garden in the gal­lery, we invite visitors to a meadow where wild­flowers mingle with weeds, day with night, art with the memory of art.

EQUIVALENT ARRANGEMENT

At the joint exhibition Equivalent Arran­gement Michał Budny and Kajetan Sosnow­ski meet for the first time. The works of both artists, seemin­gly abs­tract, in various ways defy easy clas­sifications of genre. They operate through images and masses but use little pain­ting or sculp­ting. Their com­positions generally finds its origins in an abs­tract drawing—noted on paper or only conceptualized—as a type of minimalist score, the sim­plest recor­ding of an idea.

Michał Budny
NEITHER

The show “Neither” is Budny’s latest radical statement, this time with a vector aiming upwards, “into space, far from ear­thly con­cerns and triviality, from the quotidian and everything that weighs us down and detracts us from what is important.”

If I Were the Moon

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.

Michał Budny
CROWN

When con­sidering Budny’s works, one is con­sisten­tly awed by the noble, sub­dued power packed into those simple, natural gestures, materials and forms. The latest exhibition develops the fun­damen­tal themes within the prac­tice of this extraor­dinary artist in a new way—struggling with the material and the space, the emotions and the architec­ture. “Crown” is an exac­ting com­position of individual objects that cor­respond and, in turn, provoke one another. They are all con­nec­ted through a striking manifestational quality, precision and uncom­promising character.

VILLA TORONTO

A roving art event that moves from city to city every couple of years, the VILLA project works with inter­national art gal­leries to create a tem­porary, ongoing art com­munity. This January VILLA touches down in Toronto to present an exhibition of con­tem­porary art at Union Station.

Michał Budny
ŻYWICA

Much like his ear­lier works, Budny’s ‘Żywica’refers to the human presence. It drives and streng­thens our sen­sibility towards the architec­ture sur­roun­ding us.
