Athlete | Monika LisieckaGallery Duża Scena UAPOpening: 28.03.2025, 18:00Duration of Exhibition: 28.03 – 2.04.2025 “Sportowiec” (“Athlete”) is a series of collages by Monika Lisiecka dedicated to various disciplines. All works were created on the basis of old “Athlete” magazines from the 1960s and 1970s. The author combines her characters in a graphic game of “tic-tac-toe” and also uses archival TotoLotka coupons. In some works there is a contemporary accent in the form of single keys from a Macintosh keyboard. Saturated primary colors enhance the clarity of perception. All this means that this exhibition will take us on a sports journey. Maybe it will even inspire some people to increase physical activity, which affects not only the body, but also theMore

From a contemporary perspective, the works collected by Stanisław Teisseyre reveal not only the dominance of heteronormative, maleMore

It is the remnant of the ductus arteriosus, which physiologically and anatomically closes immediately after birth. The physical particle that enables such a direct exchange of breath. Some speck, a remnant of a mother, of another person. Tree roots grow to form underground corridors, sometimes on a microscale on biological slides, like pulsating blood vessels that try to get closer to each other, looking for mutual connections. They also grow in pots near our windows, or crawl in theMore

The exhibition Quite an Ordinary Village fits into this trend. What is a modern Polish village like? At our exhibition, it is quite ordinary – that is, experienced by people associated with it. That is why we are not looking for objective answers, but we give voice to people associated with the everyday life and ordinariness ofMore

Philippe Jaccottet The pale faces of ancient statues, wood plowed with holes, ornaments swollen with rust and geological preparations covered with moss reveal their fleeting and yet powerful nature. It is in their fragility that their strength lies – the unyielding persistence that emerges from the processes of decay and transformation. Rafał Boettner-Łubowski and Adam Gillert look closely at these objects, exploring the past as a space of the unexpected. Their look, sharpened by contemporary sensitivity and digital tools, reveals non-obvious beauty – quivering, fragmentary, always incomplete.More

Their common denominator is not only interdisciplinarity, but also the international reach of the generated message and the resulting commercialization potential. The dialogue of ideas and forms often requires appropriate entourage, enabling their materialization and presentation at the level of current global standards. This refers primarily to the expectations that the modern recipient placesMore

Magdalena Parnasow-Kujawa | Images chipped Gallery Design, 9 Wolnica Str.Duration of exhibition: 27.11.2024-19.12.2024Opening: 10.12.2024, 18:00 We oscillate between multiplicity, complexity, speed, diversity and fragmentation. The question arises: what form does contemporary image perception take, in what space does the image function and on what level do we encounter it? When we look, do we actually see? Do we care about seeing? The presented paintings were made using my own technique on metal plates. They have lenses placed on their surface, which, on the one hand, in accordance with their intended purpose, zoom in and enlarge the image, taking it into three-dimensional space – but on the other hand, they interfere with direct visual contact with it. Thanks to this, theMore

Gallery curatorial team: Natalia CzarcińskaJerzy MuszyńskiDorota Tarnowska-Urbanik Enchant the Real For me, creativity is a kind of enchantment ritual. When creating, I enter a space where spirit and matter interpenetrate each other. In this state, I withdraw from everyday life and the boundaries become blurred, and what is physical begins to resonate with what is spiritual. I express myself through the medium of paper. Through regular, meditative movements resulting from the craft of handmade paper, I establish contact with matter, which becomes a tool of expression and transformation. The body, acting as an intermediary, creates a bridge between what is tangible and what isMore

Four different phases can be distinguished in the creation and storage of memory: remembering all information; storing them in neurons responsible for storage; finding them later and getting them out of storage when needed; proper recognition of the type of information extracted. In clinical practice, the most important thing is the division of memory into two types: fresh memory – short-term memory and old memory – long-term memory.More

The works presented at the “CALIBRATION” exhibition are part of the extensive series “HOMO-HOMINI” – (mater mundi+calibration+battlefield), which is defined by the antithesis of fragility, careful contact with the depositories of the past and metaphorical sculptural matter – glass, metal, stone, wood, slate, multimedia projection. A few works have already been presented at several exhibitions in recent years, usually showing the fragility of human fate, man’s fears and hopes, in a timeless and universal way.

Ireneusz Domagała We did not create a retrospective exhibition, we chose a set of works that, on the one hand, show the diversity of artistic explorations, and, on the other hand, their communal nature and intriguing repeatability. Chronologically, we have collected works that outlined the artistic path – its beginning is a diploma thesis from 1979, and the end is a playful and reflective mask for the difficult pandemic everyday life of 2020.

The titular river reveals its presence in many ways. At the same time, it becomes the main character of the project and its co-creator. The work is the result of my research on the record of existence. It results from a personal fear of change and loss. In cooperation with three rivers: Bystrzyca, Odra and Białka, I analyze different types of duration. Notation playsMore
