monster | Martyna Pakuła  Gallery Duża Scena UAP, 24 Wodna Str. Opening: 28.03.2024, 18:00Duration of exhibition: 28.03-14.04.2024 monster is the experience of invisible suffering from another person. Thousands of seemingly insignificant events that create uncertainty. These are long hours of talking to the wall, where words lose their value and get lost in the void. The monster is the growing loneliness and slow detachment from oneself. It’s an escape attempt that comes full circle. The monster is emotional violence in partnerships. It is a phenomenon that happens every day but is rarely noticed or discussed. It is something that remains invisible to outsiders, even to the victim him/herself. Emotional abuse is often masked by seemingly normal social interactions, and yet itsMore

The only element in a work of art that reveals something Other, that enables contact with something Other, constitutes the substantive element in a work of art. It almost seems that the substantive element in a work of art is like a foundation in which and on top of which the Other is properly built. And isn’t this substantive element of the work what the artist actually creates in his craft? WeMore

The exhibition of a set of spatial objects involves the presentation of several objects made of plaster and in the spirit of ready-made, assemblage and arrangements of repeating modules.…Is it art or just a platform, a display for an abstract sculpture?Is it the back of a poang chair or the flexible skeleton of an art installation?… “We should allow abstract sculptures to demonstrate to us the full range of thoughts and feelings that an object representing nothing in particular canMore

Katarzyna Kujawska-Murphy | Identifying objects: steel, tool, nail, worker. The Tissue of the House Gallery Nowa Scena UAP, 28 Marcinkowskiego Ave.Opening: 14.02.2024, 18:0014.02-3.03.2024 Katarzyna Kujawska-Murphy Leaving aside the interpretation that arises thanks to the objects used and their traces, it is worth taking a closer look at the rhythms themselves, alternative arrangements, and the balance between the continuity of elementary figures and their lack. The lack is visualized by shadow drawing. A close relationship is created between the internal fragments of the building’s fabric that go outside – these elements complement and define each other. The meaning of this precisely constructed piece does not arise solely from the steel soul of the house, because it cannot be analyzed without takingMore

Sound is a mechanical wave of oscillating particles in a medium such as air, produced by energy disturbances. These waves travel through space, creating sound pressure that is perceived by the sense of hearing. Without ears capable of receiving, processing vibrations and converting them into signals, the very idea ofMore

IT| Agata Michowska Gallery Szewska 1615.12.2023-8.01.2024Opening: 15.12.2023, 18;00 Agata Michowska graduated from the Faculty of Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan. Over the years, her art has evolved from ascetic and strict in the form of spatial realizations, devoid of any references to the outside world, to the photographs, videos and sounds that constitute the record personal reflections on the elementary laws of life and death, creation and decay, transience and memory, affirmation and fear. Images and sounds, combined often with literary narrative, they bring us to the “point” in which, according to the universal principle, everything dies and everything is reborn itself again.
