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.

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.

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.

EXHIBITIONS 2020

Emilia Kina
SCREEN

Emilia Kina focuses on the mar­gins of depic­tion, of what is merely a frame for the proper view, what hides it or merely appears. Her relief com­positions, painting/screens cap­tivating in their material beauty, divert atten­tion from the digital inflation of images and messages.

EXHIBITIONS 2020

Krzysztof Zieliński
HOMETOWN

Wąbrzeźno, an ordinary little town star­ting with W, down near the end of the alphabet, in a lan­guage where “w” could stand for wszędzie—anywhere, por­trayed by the photographer after a decade of sys­temic chan­ges up to the eve of Poland’s joining the European Union, became a visual synonym for the creeping trans­for­mation. Wor­king on colour negatives and alluding to the minimalist poetics of topographic photography, Zieliński created an image of the post-​socialist coun­tryside that is the first of its kind, moving and empathetic, con­struc­ted from mist and a thousand and one shades of grey.

EXHIBITIONS 2020

Michał Budny, Kajetan Sosnowski
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.

EXHIBITIONS 2019

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.”

Lev Povzner
FIELD OF MIRACLES

Joint exhibition of Galeria Dawid Radziszew­ski and Raster Gal­lery is the first-​ever in Poland for Lev Povzner, a pain­ter from the movement of Rus­sian non­con­for­mists. He works in his own flat and uses domestic materials. Povzner’s elaborate, individual brand of sur­realism represents a return to the political poten­tial of the genre. At this exhibition we present a selec­tion of his newest works.

Dominika Olszowy
HOUSEHOLD SPIRIT

This exhibition designed especially for the Raster space peers out from a dark lining of domesticity. Using hybrid objects and sculp­tures, distur­bing images and mysterious pas­sages, Olszowy creates her own vision of home.
