The act of emigration offers artists a chance to expand their horizons and connect with new audiences, while also promoting cultural exchange and fostering a greater understanding of the harmony of our world. Relocation can also be seen as a way for artists to challenge dominant narratives, power structures, and to explore different perspectives and

It is not without reason that I recall, at the very beginning, the almost sacred words of Rosław Szaybo, which were heard many times during the most heated discussions during the 30/30 Competition. Usually, there was a deafening silence afterwards, glances were exchanged and a raging brainstorm could be felt J What should a good cover be like? This question appears in every edition and each time justifying our opinion in

Witch Hunt. Non-places of memory (diploma exhibition)Exhibition opening: 15.06-18.06, 11:00-17:00Finissage: 17.06 18:00Venue: UAP Design Gallery, 9 Wolnica Str., Poznan Non-places of memory is a term used in the context of places that are not officially recognized, commemorated or protected as historical or national memory sites, but which have significance for collective memory, often through their symbolism or the events that took place there. Unlike memorials, such as museums, monuments or war cemeteries, non-memorials can be forgotten, neglected or even unknown to the general public. Their essence is that they store memory in an informal way and often require some effort on the part of people to find and understand their meaning. The exhibition Witch Hunt. Places of Non-Memory is based

Family in the folds of reality | Zofia SłupczyńskaGallery Nowa Scena UAP, 28 Marcinkowskiego Ave.Duration of exhibition: 4-9.06.2024 Zofia Słupczyńska’s master’s degree deals with the topic of family in the modern world, which is entangled in certain folds imposed by reality. The issue is presented through the use of draperies and people interacting or not interacting with them. The fabric takes on the role of a symbol of the relationship between people who pull it, touch it, or leave it without any interference. The works encourage reflection on the existing situation and reality, which does not always have to be as we think. Family has always been an important aspect in my life. Many times, my loved ones lifted my

Without His suggestions or decisions.With doubts.The sun is shining as we hang canvases in the gallery, and a piece of paper falls off the board. Is it a sign or a naive wish?It’s quiet on this floor.Memories of an indulgent smile. From the very beginning, the image should announce its final appearance. He carried landscapes inside him and rarely went out to see them. He did not have to. The earth enchanted by rebuses is present in the landscapes painted around the house.

REINTERPRETATIONS | Exhibition by students from the Studio of Open Art Interpretations Gallery Design, 9 Wolnica Str. Curator: Aleksander RadziszewskiOpening: 15.04.2024, 18:0015.04-5.05.2024 The exhibition presents the works and projects of students from the Studio of Open Art Interpretations, whose starting point was reflections on specific works of other artists, creative attitudes and various theories and concepts in the field of art. The resulting REINTERPRETATIONS are works that enter into dialogue with other works, in a sense paying homage to them, or in opposition to them, thus taking an extremely critical approach. And sometimes, they are simply a development and update of a certain artistic thought. Nevertheless, each of these activities led to the creation of works and projects of a completely

It’s just that these media images have little in common with the images brought to life by painters. There is still an elite of people who create unique objects – paintings and an elite of people who are fortunate to experience these objects in the only way that is right for them, in the original. What percentage of our population realizes this? Who knows what painting is? Who can answer the question: which painting is good and which is bad? Piotr

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 its

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 taking

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 of
