ALETHEIA | Urszula Ślusarczyk

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

Wars, extraction of raw materials, pollution and the impacts of climate change are destroying the habitat of people and other beings on a scale never seen before.Szymon Rogiński shows the catastrophic aspect of everyday life in the interior of global capitalism, whose economic principle is constant growth. Ordinary life – houses, shops, workplaces and means of transport cause a landscape calamity comparable to areas of environmental disasters.The exhibition consists of three cyclesMore

Piotr Szwiec | Trapped Jewelry | Sofia, Bulgaria ALMA MATER Gallery of the Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” 15 Tsar Osvoboditel Blvd., Sofia, BulgariaDuration: 16-31.10.2023 A series of designs and realizations of unique jewelry. 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

The moment it wobbles and trembles | Maciej Andrzejczak, Anna Kołacka, Sebastian Trzoska 

The moment it wobbles and trembles Venue: Gallery Szydłowski, 13/15 Nowolipie Str., Warsaw Opening: 07.09.2023, 18:00-21:00Duration: 07-22.09.2023 Maciej Andrzejczak, Anna Kołacka, Sebastian Trzoska  The clocks no longer stop, and the time displayed on the ubiquitous screens flows either too fast or too slow. The works of the three artists are like an experiment designed to recognize and experience a disordered reality. Sebastian Trzoska’s Technical diagram for 24 hours of focus shows a stopwatch board speeding up minute by minute. On the one hand ”it is simply a form of creative play with the ruthless limitations of the timer’s function and the industrial nature of the object, such as a typical advertising display built from LED lights” (S.T). In this black-framed controlled chaos, where the conceptMore

The mechanism of care for identity and knowledge of origin is the same in each case – memory care. This role is played by verbal applications, books, photographs kept in the wallet or notes on the margins of school notebooks – without refreshing, images fade and concepts escape under the weight of time. The realization is a reflection on the transformation of eventsMore

When the boat, pushed from the shore by the oars of several stout fishermen, ran out to sea, the crowd on the shore howled to throw the witch into the water as soon as possible. And so it happened. The two biggest masops, straddling the boat-drivers, lifted the limp woman by the arms and legs, swung her in the air, and flung her far into the water.

Pripyat | Hjörleifur Halldórsson

Pripyat | Hjörleifur HalldórssonRotunda GalleryOpening: July 3, 2023 at 6 p.m.On display: 3 – 30.07.2023 About the artistic attitude of Hjörleifur Halldórsson Hjörleifur Halldórsson’s painting reflects his inner life and interest in specific social issues. Halldórsson knows that art cannot replace social science, philosophy, sociology, anthropology and political science, but it can contribute to social diagnosis. He does not illustrate scientific hypotheses and ideological manifestos, but expresses his subjective, independent opinions and feelings through painting. When art serves to explore and deepen the subjectivity of the artist who creates it, it simultaneously serves and defends the subjectivity of every human being. One of Halldórsson’s responses in defense of the subjectivity of a particular person is the portrait of Swedish model Lena ForsénMore

“The Wanderer” by Samuel Gardner

The Wanderer | Samuel Gardner Gallery Duża Scena UAP, 24 Wodna Str.Opening: 23.06, 18:00On display: 23.06 – 2.07 “The Wanderer” is about walking alone without a fixed destination. It’s an attempt to share the moments of this experience through collected and created objects. Many of the creations are accidental or unintentional. Making them requires a similar mindset to that of the wanderer. You’re constantly making decisions on what “feels” right. It’s the closest I get to that reality which, according to the Patanjali Sutras is “different from that which is normally perceived through one’s senses and logic.”

Fight or Flight

Title „Fight or Flight” comes from the colloquially named adrenaline. The exhibition presents an analysis of this process not only from a biological perspective but also from an economic and cultural one. Installations placed within the walls of the United Climbing space, although minimalist in it’s form, are full of confrontations with extensive visions of the future of individuals such as Leszek Kołakowski or John Danaher. They were created using modern hardware: 3D milling machines, 3D printers, as well as various AI models and smartphones, embodying the characteristic hope for a better tomorrow. What else are the bodies of people playing with climbing challenges, lying on sun-warmed mats amidst the industrial halls of WSK, if not a longed-for ideal world? This is anMore
