WARSAW GAL­LERY WEEK­END 2022 

Emilia Kina
LE SOIR QUI TOMBE

Does a pain­ting con­ceal more than it reveals? Emilia Kina examines the nature of pain­tings, the illusion imbed­ded in them, but also their physical con­struc­tion. „Le soir qui tombe” is the title of a pain­ting by the Bel­gian sur­realist René Magritte, which has now inspired Kina to create a multi-​phase pain­terly narrative.

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.

Dominika Olszowy at the Foksal Gallery

“The future is dark, which is the best thing the future can be, I think.”

CURRENT EXHIBITION

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.

EXHIBITIONS 2022

Aneta Grzeszykowska
WAVE

In her latest exhibition, Grzeszykow­ska returns to her first work, Album (2005), which serves as a kind of creed for the artist, com­prising photographs with an erased image of the artist. The new Album is a con­tinuation the history of her life, from the birth of her daugh­ter Franciszka.

THE LAST ONE TURN OUT THE LIGHTS
2ND PHOTOGRAPHY SALON

Photography depends on light, and without it images are extin­guished. This simple rule of physics also car­ries a metaphorical sense. How to cope without illuminated per­spec­tives and a clear vision of the future? The theme of the second edition of the Photography Salon at Raster Gal­lery is “exhaustion”, in both a photographic and a human […]

Edward Dwurnik
PINES

Not tulips. Pines. The work of Edward Dwur­nik still abounds in unfamiliar views and mysterious groves. For example Polish Pines, growing in a tight ring on a broad, undulating meadow, their crowns against the back­ground of a fading, dark-​blue sky. The exhibition was prepared in cooperation with the Edward Dwur­nik Foundation.

Marcin Maciejowski
POLISH ENVIRONS

For this year’s edition of the Warsaw Gal­lery Week­end, we have prepared an individual exhibition of Marcin Maciejow­ski, a distin­guished pain­ter who recovers Raphael’s ‘Portrait of a Young Man’, stolen by the Nazis, but he also polemicizes with the con­servative, statist model of ‘national heritage and sport’ which now forms part of Poland’s ministry of culture.

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.

The exhibition of Aneta Grzeszykow­ska, Zina Isupova, Karolina Jabłońska, Emilia Kina, Małgorzata Mirga-​Tas, and Michelle Raw­lings.

Paulina Stasik
PROTECTRESSES

Stasik’s pain­tings essay a return to a lost, supra-​sexual unity. The guides along this path are the caretakers from the title: female figures of shamans, seducers and syrens. The exhibition Protec­tres­ses is the first individual presen­tation of the artist’s works in Warsaw.

EXHIBITIONS 2020

Olaf Brzeski
ADVENTURE

Adventure is a story full of per­sonal experien­ces, ruminations on love and death, joy and loss, as well as small but meaning­ful sen­sations, like the pleasure from a complement.

TR Warszawa
MARIA KLASSENBERG

“Maria Klassenberg” is a performance-installation-exhibition, built around the biography and work of Maria Klas­sen­berg, a for­got­ten figure of con­tem­porary art. The exhibition accom­panying the per­for­mance presents the archives of Klas­sen­berg prepared by Aneta Grzeszykow­ska in cooperation with Jan Smaga.

WARSAW GAL­LERY WEEK­END 2020

Karolina Jabłońska, Sophie Thun
ROOM TOUR

The heroine of the works of Karolina Jabłońska and Sophie Thun is a young woman, an artist seeking per­sonal liberation and empower­ment in art. Room Tour is an exhibitionist inspec­tion of the space in which she creates. A room of one’s own, once a symbol of creative eman­cipation, now becomes a space of loneliness and melan­choly in the time of the pan­demic and the social isolation it has imposed.

Janek Simon
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.

Edward Dwurnik
MOJŻESZ AND OTHERS FROM RYPIN

The presen­tation of ten of Edward Dwurnik’s works on paper never shown before marks the begin­ning of the work on an intriguing archive of the artist, in which motifs and stories known from pain­tings are developed, or the reverse—drawings left by the artist inc­lude ideas and emotions later expan­ded on in his paintings.
