Janek Simon <br> SIXTEENTH WORLD

WARSAW GAL­LERY WEEK­END 2023

Janek Simon
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.

MACHINE LEARNING FOLKLORE

The latest exhibition by Janek Simon at Raster has an open struc­ture. Instead of a traditional, arran­ged showing of com­pleted artistic objects, we are given a process, a situation sug­gesting a visit to the studio, where we can observe “live” the chan­ging progress of work on each project.

Janek Simon
PEOPLE WITH THE HEADS OF DOGS

Simon’s many exotic trips over the past dozen years have served to develop his para-​artistic endeavors, vested on the frin­ges of economics, art and post-​colonial thought. His newest exhibition is an offshoot of these ear­lier experien­ces, as it also inverts the per­spec­tive of the artist as observer. Simon’s main topic of interest shifts from inter­cul­tural exchange towards the sub­jec­tive observations of a researcher-​traveler: exploration, and con­fabulation, too, of which the experien­ces of recognized travelers, repor­ters and artists are full of.
ALUMINUM SONG

2014 exhibitions

ALUMINUM SONG

The exhibition explores the lyrical and political proper­ties of matter that co-​created cer­tain legends of industry – and its demise. Aluminum – a ligh­tweight, non-​corrosive metal – appears in a range of forms, both as an artistic medium and an industrial material, a ready-​made of sorts. Its artistic legacy is intrin­sically con­nec­ted to the idea of deper­sonalizing the act of creation.
