MORGENSTERN | solo exhibition by Cyryl Ambroziak

MORGENSTERN | solo exhibition by Cyryl Ambroziak Exhibition dates: 15.10–2.11.2025Curator: Paweł DyczkowskiAULA UAP Gallery, 29 Marcinkowskiego Ave. (1st floor), Building AOpening: 15.10.2025, 6:00 PM Your presence sets in motion a game where no beginning can be found, nor an end. Inspired by medieval weaponry – trebuchets and the morgenstern – the exhibition intertwines these motifs with the language of contemporary art and the aesthetics of Polish cyber-fantasy. What once served as an instrument of destruction is here transformed into an artistic form stripped of harmful intent. Painting turns weaponry into ornament, violence into process, and danger into play. The exhibition invites touch – though at your own risk of a prick. Enter a visual system where impasto blends with pixels,More

ART(IST) TEACHER

ART(IST) TEACHER September 25 – October 17, 2025, Pitevna Gallery, Brno In the title of the exhibition, we identify artists and teachers, teachers of art, and, witha little help from German, we also identify the assertion that art is a teacher. All of thiis meant to suggest, even though art history does not emphasize it, that the roles ofartist and teacher have always been closely related. Even in ancient times, artists trained their successors in their workshops. With theadvent of the modern era, this professional training became institutionalized, artacademies appeared, and with them, academicism and academics. A little later, withthe development of general education, the position of drawing teachers and later artteachers emerged, who in some cases were also artists.More

Piano Genie. Sounds at Your Fingertips | Robert Gogol

Piano Genie. Sounds at Your Fingertips | Robert Gogol 20th International Symposium on Sound Engineering and Tonmeistering, ISSET 2025Curator: Tomasz MisiakDuża Scena Gallery UAP, 24 Wodna Str.Exhibition dates: 9-13.10.2025 Piano Genie is an experimental AI-based musical interface developed as part of Google’s “Magenta” project. It allows any user to improvise using a simple controller. The system maps 8 inputs to the full range of 88 piano keys, generating melodies in real time. The model was trained on around 1,400 recordings from the digital archive of the International Piano-e- Competition, enabling it to reflect many pianistic techniques found in classical music. This unique instrument becomes part of contemporary “virtual orchestras” (as described by music philosopher Harry Lehmann in his widely discussed bookMore

The artefacts encompass the fields of digital graphics and animation, combine-painting compositions, as well as visual works incorporating text, unconventional arrangements, and spatial objects. Despite the disciplinary and structural heterogeneity of the exhibited pieces, the selection proposed by Professor Boettner-Łubowski reveals certain common elements. These include: a high level of technical and formal precision, a reflective and considered approach to meaning, visual appeal, and a proclivity for artistic experimentation whichMore

Centre | Julian Bachur / Daniel M. Leśniak

Centre | Julian Bachur / Daniel M. Leśniak Duża Scena Gallery UAP, 24 Wodna Str.Opening: 25.09.2025, 17:30Exhibition dates: 25.09 – 5.10.2025Finissage: 5.10.2025, 18:00 Artists Julian Bachur and Daniel M. Leśniak come together to tell a shared story about the condition of the contemporary individual. The titular Centre becomes a place of confrontation between two distinct personalities and two different, yet complementary, artistic languages. The artists’ works are united by a common reflection on the fate of the individual in society – multilayered, at times tragic, burdened with experience and inner conflicts, yet also infused with the need for rebellion and the attempt to break free from accumulated masks. In preparing the exhibition, Bachur and Leśniak entered into a dialogue notMore

The Artistic PRESENCE | Ewa Partum

Artistic PRESENCE of Ewa Partum Nowa Scena Gallery UAP, 28 Marcinkowskiego Ave.Exhibition dates: 1-14.10.2025Opening: 9.10.2025, 13:30 Curator: Justyna Ryczek My Touch is a Touch of a Woman. Ewa Partum placed this sentence on her work in 1971. Next to it, she left the imprint of red lips. Red lipstick is a clear mark of a woman’s presence, a presence that would come to characterize Partum’s artistic practice over the next fifty years. Her artistic touch is the experience of a woman, attentive and critical, rooted in concrete realities, drawing attention to the surrounding world, to emerging art, and to promises being made. In the exhibition on view, the trace of a kiss may also be read as a sign ofMore

Where Is Echo? | Robert Gogol

Where Is Echo? | Robert Gogol Curators’LAB Gallery UAP, 12 Nowowiejskiego Str.Opening: 22.09.2025Exhibition dates: 22.09 – 3.10.2025Curator: Tomasz Misiak Where Is Echo? In Greek mythology, Echo is portrayed as a young, beautiful nymph who falls hopelessly in love with Narcissus. Narcissus rejects her affections, surrendering completely to the allure of his own reflection. After his death, the gods turn Narcissus into a flower, while the heartbroken Echo gradually fades away until only her voice remains – a voice condemned to eternal wandering, endlessly repeating itself. Dissolving into echo – as an acoustic phenomenon – Echo loses her name and disappears into a world governed by time. The story of Echo raises many questions that remain relevant today:How do acoustic repetitionsMore

The Path and the Paths | Monika Shaded | Marcin Lorenc

The Path and the Paths | Monika Shaded | Marcin Lorenc Nowa Scena Gallery UAP, 28 Marcinkowskiego Ave.Opening: 21.10.2025, 18:00Exhibition dates: 21.10 – 9.11.2025Curator: Wojciech Gorączniak “The Path and the Paths” is a joint exhibition project by Monika Shaded and Marcin Lorenc. The concept relates to the multidimensional experience of what a path is. How can this be understood? Above all, two aspects of the term seem most important here. The first is the path understood as the direction chosen by each of us (we often speak of a “life path”) – determined by individual decisions, possibilities, interests, and desires. We plan our path and imagine it – this is the ideal path. Behind us, however, we leave the realMore

yap yap i narra | Gabriel Kryszpiniuk – individual exhibition

yap yap i narra | Gabriel Kryszpiniuk – individual exhibitionNowa Scena Gallery UAP, 28 Marcinkowskiego Ave.Curator: Paweł DyczkowskiCoordinator: Ola SkubelOpening: 5.09.2025, 17:00Duration of exhibition: 5-21.09.2025 We talk about art constantly. It’s often difficult to distinguish a work from its commentary. Images begin to pretend to be images, and art begins to pretend to be art. Every attempt to describe them becomes another layer of decoration, and every manifesto a new costume. Objects create self-promotional rituals where digital prostheses, extending our tongues, eyes, and hands, replace experience. The exhibition “yap yap and narra” focuses on the “theatricality” of the art scene – the tireless yapping of artists, curators, viewers, and critics. Where suggesting solutions becomes a helpless sport, Gabriel Kryszpiniuk focusesMore

The object of desire, the source of rapture and despair, the starting point for personal and social revolutions. The exhibition For Love is an attempt to capture this emotion not as an abstract concept, but as a specific experience – corporeal, political, intimate. Four artists: Paweł Flieger, José Manuel Jiménez Muñoz, Paulina Wyrt and Ana del Amor – take up the subject of love from different perspectives and in different media. Their works notMore

Exhibition of Belarusian art that confronts the crises of contemporary times

Exhibition of Belarusian art that confronts the crises of contemporary times Aula Gallery UAP (29 Marcinkowskiego Ave., Building A, 1st floor)Opening: 12.06.2025, 19:00Duration of exhibition: 12-22.06.2025Curator: Lizaveta SteckoArtists and archive: Alexsander Adamau, Aleksandra Kononchenko, Nadya Sayapina, Sergey Shabohin, Katsiaryna Sheliahovich, VEHA Archive The exhibition “Na pamiežžach” (“On the Borderlands”) emerges from the concept of border territories (pamiežža), full of tension and pressure, where Belarusian identity is shaped. This state of being “in-between” teaches the art of survival and the practice of borderland solidarity. The art presented in the exhibition is confronting the fractures in the geopolitical space: the humanitarian crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border, the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, forced migration or reaches older events, the trace of which isMore
