Rodion Nowacki | COLLABORAGE Opening: March 2, 2026 at 6:00 PMVenue: Gallery Na Wysokim Poziomie, Poznan, al. Marcinkowskiego 29(UAP Building A, 3rd floor)Exhibition on view until March 19, 2026 MANIFESTO OF COLLABORAGE: A PROTOCOL OF TREASON AGAINST REALITY “If reality is coherent, it means it has been assembled incorrectly.” The whiteness of these walls is offensive. It is a sterile lie, an attempt to tame what is inherently messy, chaotic, and fractured. It is an act of forced cooperation between decay and paper and canvas, between trash and the gallery’s sacrum, between the eye and that which presses most painfully beneath the eyelid. Nowacki stands before you with his hands in his pockets. This is not a gesture of disregard,More

Barbara Mydlak | When Day Became Night Venue: Gallery Szewska 16Opening: March 4, 2026, 5:00 PMExhibition dates: March 5-29, 2026 Curatorial Team:Natalia CzarcińskaJerzy MuszyńskiDorota Tarnowska-Urbanik Curtains – objects that situate themselves in between. They are reactive membranes functioning at the intersection of light and darkness, and of the external and the intimate. They are liminal entities, dwelling neither here nor there, in a permanent state of suspension. Positioned in timelessness, on the threshold between before and after, they symbolically establish the boundary between the world of the living and the dead. They separate the stage from the audience, fiction from reality. They mark the beginning and the end of a performance. The lifting of a curtain turns us into observersMore

Flowers Made of Oilcloth

Flowers Made of Oilcloth Venue:  Curators’LAB Gallery UAP, 12 Nowowiejskiego Str., PoznanDuration of exhibition:  05.02-19.02.2026 Flowers Made of Oilcloth is an exhibition about memory that returns through the senses. The smell of tea, the sound of a ticking clock, or the sight of a wall unit filled with trinkets – these seemingly ordinary elements of everyday life create a landscape of childhood spent at grandparents’ homes. Although memories are deeply personal, they often turn out to be surprisingly shared. The exhibition takes the form of a time capsule, a space that allows a return to the past through the body: touch, sound, and scent. It is not a reconstruction of a bygone reality, but an attempt to capture what proves mostMore

The objects and silhouettes showcased in the exhibition demonstrate the diverse ways in which fashion can be understood today: as a functional form, a costume, an artistic gesture, a social commentary, or an experiment with material. What unites the presented works is a conscious, authorial approach to the body, form, and context. The exhibition invites viewers to see fashion asMore

Soul Catchers

Soul Catchers Duration of exhibition: 9.01-25.01.2026Opening: 9.01.2026, 17:00Venue: Curators’LAB GalleryCurator: Wiktoria Pietrzak Artists: Nikola Banasik, Wiktoria Cwityńska, Maciej Krajewski, Bogna Lupińska, Jan Mioduchowski, Marcel Przybył, Julianna Warywoda I was told that the Soul Catcher, the one who catches souls, comes for us last. He crosses the threshold as expected, unlike Her. He enters with an invitation, perhaps tempted by a cup of tea. Then he takes us on a journey from which there is no return. The windows are darkened. The tea must be black, as must the car and the suit. The face should be pale, the feet carefully washed. The stove has been burned out since yesterday. Silence. Silence is the most important thing. Handshakes can be omitted.More

Everyday Life Between Us

Everyday Life Between Us Gallery Design UAP, 9 Wolnica Str.Opening: 27.11.2025, 18:00Duration od exhibition: 27.11-28.12.2025 Two friends, two perspectives, one everyday world. The exhibition Everyday Life Between Us is a shared story told by two illustrators who share not only a friendship, but also a passion for observing the world through color, texture, and gesture. They have known each other for years, and their artistic paths have matured in parallel, sometimes separately, sometimes side by side. Their works created by hand using markers, paints, and collages, form a visual dialogue about people, animals, plants, and the rituals of daily life. These are illustrations drawn from life: simple moments that often go unnoticed, yet here gain warmth and meaning. Each artistMore

Maciej Buszewicz | BOOKS – POSTERS Duża Scena UAP Gallery, 24 Wodna Str.Opening: 17.11.2025, 18:00Exhibition duration: 17.11-15.12.2025 Professor Maciej Buszewicz One of the most original Polish book and poster designers, an artist of exceptional erudition, knowledge, and sense of form, actively working across many areas of graphic design. A professor, mentor, and teacher of many generations of young graphic artists. The work of Professor Maciej Buszewicz is a masterful play between image and meaning, a conscious use of mental shortcut, symbol, and irony. Every graphic design is a precisely thought-out construction in which form becomes a language. Clear, intellectual discipline of expression is combined with great formal freedom, technical mastery, inventiveness, and refined material sensibility. These are not posters thatMore

The works presented in the exhibition show how human indifference intertwines with nature into a single fabric, and alongside it, care and responsibility emerge, striving not to leave a trace of destruction, but of concern. Ambientale vol. 3 is not an ordinary exhibition documentingMore
