C, room 204 Annie Ernaux – a leading writer of French literature; a name without which the term “feminist literature” would be an incomplete, defective term. Together with their son, David, they invite us to the world of memories and pieces of the family past. This time, however, the portal to the never sufficiently explored family history is not only the written word, but the audiovisual word; a word that stimulates and irritates all the senses. An intimate Odyssey through family archives also becomes a spectacular journey through the map of the most important political and culturalMore

And so much banality, familiar from most of the cries of a consumer community devoid of lower revolutionary states, which is between ingesting a new gadget and swallowing another assortment of spinning objects, made to us by miraculous marketing and advertising processes.Nature, nature, nature and we, its defenders in our perverse logic of events,More

If yes, how and to which extent? Which approaches are appropriate and in which contexts? When to provoke, when to negotiate? When to escalate, when to moderate?

Intermedia Cinema S02E01 | „Tomorrow or Day after Tomorrow” Bing Liu
It’s time to start the next season of Intermedia Cinema! Open programme for UAP students. The second season of Intermedia Cinema will be special because it will be created in cooperation with Millennium Docs Against Gravity! Documentary films from the MDAG collection will diversify our repertoire over the next few months. They will become a portal to real and haptical worlds; worlds that can be known even through careful observation. We will spend the inaugural meeting in Illinois, observing a group of maturing skaters. Don’t worry – we won’t spend two hours watching amateur clips recorded with a simple VHS camera and then posted on YouTube. “Minding the Gap” is definitely something more than just a collection of several-second recordings of evenings spent atMore

Such an event marks the memory of all those who remain for a long time, and also makes us aware of the presence of a clear boundary between the present and the past. In addition to the memories of the lost person, there are always various items, often small and personal. They are, as cultural anthropologist Aleida Assmann notes: symbolic supports that preserve memories for the future, while imposing the obligation of shared collective memory on subsequent generations. However, before such a coherent and unified memory arises, fragmentary and unformedMore

ALETHEIA | Urszula ŚlusarczykGallery Nowa Scena UAP, 28 Marcinkowskiego Ave.Opening: 15.11.2023, 18:0015.11 – 3.12.2023 The paintings presented at the exhibition are the result of current research that has been revolving around the “Greek trope” for some time. In particular, Crete is a place for me to experience a unique, multidimensional intensity, the impact of which I take to the studio. This experience combines elements of learning and discovering fragments of reality with the awareness of approaching the threshold of mystery. An important motif for me is the process of light emergence. From here we are close to the Greek concept of “Aletheia”, which Heidegger referred to the “infinite process of revealing”. To some extent, it is also close to theMore
Axis | Wojciech Hora
Axis | Wojciech HoraGallery Rotunda, building A, 29 Marcinkowskiego Str.7-26.11.2023 Work inspired by a place, existing thanks to it, is physically dependent. Rotunda is a space with a cross-section of a circle – an ideal figure – the center of which determines the central axis that organizes the space. The balance of forces generated by this axis is directed towards and centrifugally with a specific potential to influence gravity. Each structure and spatial situation has a specific axis – a central point that organizes various aspects of the whole, allows them to be defined and significantly influences their characteristics. This axis is also a kind of string that creates a specific tuning of a given system, often resonating with aMore

Jewelry can be valuable in a simple way – by the value of its metal. If this were the only criterion, bars on chains would be the most valuable. For jewelry, artistic value and quality of craftsmanship have always been important, and in times of mass production they have become even more important. Precious means valuable: handmade, unique, one of a kind. This was the slogan of the first jewelry made of flints hand-carved to resemble Paleolithic stones – tools that were as valuable as jewelry today. They required manualMore
