SoetejaWisesa Weninggalih  Printmaking as an art culture in Indonesia is a form of culture that has been carried on since colonial times. Printing technology, which was all used as a mass media technology, was eventually developed into an artistic medium. Along with the development of the era of modern art in Indonesia, printmaking also developed towards applied art until it eventually became a visual communication design. This concept tries to combine the conventional printmakingMore

MYOPIA

Gallery Nowa Scena UAP, Al. Marcinkowskiego 28 Opening: 14.04.2023, 18:00 Duration: 14 – 25.04.2023 The challenges of contemporary visual artists in the world of contemporary art are constantly changing and evolving, it is increasingly difficult for artists to maintain a balance between originality and accessibility, between exploration and commercialization. Myopia in the visual arts can be treated as a phenomenon that can lead to stagnation, superficiality, and even trivialization of the artistic message or lack of thought-provoking or emotion-provoking.    In the era of globalization, Internet and social media, it is harder than ever for artists to maintain their identity and uniqueness. On the one hand, they want to be recognized and appreciated, on the other – they do not want toMore

At the same time, life continued its normal rhythm – it’s understandable, after all, you can’t stay in constant fear. The fear of the end of history is as unreal as it is attractive – a man tries to tame his own fear of death through creativity, various kinds of stories about the end. Dmytro Krasnyi presents the topic in a special way. Because can the end of the worldMore

Music of the Spheres

Music of the Spheres Duża Scena Gallery / UAP24 Wodna Street, Poznań, PolandOpening: March, 7, 18:00The exhibition is open from 7 March to 1 April 2023 For a long time, music was not so much a concept defining the audible harmony of sounds, but primarily a mathematical science of proportions, one of the liberal arts. In a broader sense, it was perceived as order—in both the anthropological sense (musica humana) and in the cosmic sense (musica mundana). This order was an abstract, soundless form that was the subject of philosophical considerations and mathematical calculations. The title of the exhibition Music of the Spheres refers to the concept that dates back to Pythagorean times, linking the mathematical order with the constant movementMore

Vertical & Horizontal | Exhibition by professors of the Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Bulgaria

14. 03. 2023 – 02. 04. 2023Opening: March, 14, 18:00Nowa Scena Gallery Al. Marcinkowskiego 28, PoznańCurator of the exhibition: prof. Laura Dimitrova The exhibition “Vertical & Horizontal” includes artworks by 21 artists and professors at the Visual Arts Department of Sofia University. The vertical and the horizontal are ancient symbols that we associate with the spiritual (vertical) and the material (horizontal). Through the interaction of the vertical and the horizontal, wholeness is achieved, harmony and balance is created in the world. Seemingly united by formal requirements, the participants in the exhibition are at the same time free to express their views on the subject.

Really – or how really? Are we  able to capture really in today’s world filled with lots of stimuli and alternative realities? The young generation of graduates of the University of Arts really face their own. They draw from the surrounding reality, not only the real one. They weave social, political and sociological threads into their works. Reality is falling apart into tiny pieces of personal choices and history. Kamila Lukaszczyk redefines the term friend in the work “Portrait of my friend. Parents” creating huge, protective wings presented onMore

SYNCHRO | Reflections II

SYNCHRO | Reflections II Galeria Curators’Lab, 12 Nowowiejskiego Str. Opening: 14.02, 18:00 Duration: 14.02 – 26.02 Artists:prof. Kazimierz Rabadr Łukasz Gruszczyńskimgr Andrzej Lenarczyk REFLECTIONS A studio as an idea – a studio as an environment The curator’s premise for the series of exhibitions entitled Reflections is to show a sculpture studio as an idea connecting a professor and graduates by an unrestricted clause of time and formal affiliation. The studio defined in this way includes artists gathered around assumptions and methods that have shaped their personalities and initiated their creative paths over the years. Showing the environment of the studio from the perspective of a lecturer is one of the possible interpretations of its assumptions. When selecting participants, the professor-curator asksMore

The opening exhibition will take place on 7 February 2023 at 18:00 in the Scena Duża UAP Gallery in Poznań. The current political situation increasingly resonates in the behaviour of society. I notice a huge polarisation of not necessarily positive behaviours. What is alarming is the evidently growing division of Poles over the last few years. The exhibition entitled ‘Points ofMore

Václav Rodek | Sítě snů / Nets of Dreams

Václav Rodek | Sítě snů / Nets of Dreams curator: Sławomir Kuszczak opening: 3.02.2023, 18:00 Exhibition: 3–17.02.2023 Monday–Friday 9:00–19:00 Galeria Szewska 16 ul. Szewska 16, Poznań An invitation to a joint journey The analysis of Vaclaw Rodek’s oeuvre based on reflection on the real world and the achievements of visual culture in reference to the principles of aesthetics will most likely lead us to the conclusion that the artist’s works are expressive and are a conglomeration of abstraction and figuration. Abstraction is often dominant. Moreover, the works of the Czech painter can be suspected of a certain nervousness, haste and understatement accompanying quite well-thought-out compositions. The works can be included in the area of modernist experience. However, being based onMore

Magdaleny Abakanowicz w Poznaniu.Tytuł wystawy to zbiór trzech, z pozoru rożnych, interpretacji rzeczywistości otaczającej wystawiane artystki. Zauważalna jednakże mnogość i wielowarstwowość znaczeń podejmowanych tematów, zamyka poszukiwania w obszarze kontrastowego, w swym założeniu, hasła, w pewnym pojęciowym „pomiędzy”.* Już-nie jeszcze-nie — doświadczanie przestrzeni pomiędzy — to propozycja Marty Chudy, która konfrontuje zagadnienia anonimowych i tranzytowych przestrzeni nie-miejsc z realnymi przystankami, na których trasie artystka porusza się i doświadczaMore
