Archival exhibitions
For years, scholars have been asking themselves about the boundaries of cosmos, the principles that govern its functioning, and our place in it. Similarly, artists test the boundaries of art, look for the reach of creative matter and coincidence, consciously rejecting the previously worked out laws. Constellations is a story of abstraction that goes beyond […]
Objects and costumes must be works of art, not decoration which is discarded once it has been used. This is what makes the Cricot 2 Theatre a unique and purely artistic phenomenon – Tadeusz Kantor
Ambalaże, Polish word coined from the French emballage meaning “packaging” was one of Kantor’s main creative strategies. The symbolic gesture of wrapping up an object or a figure is related to the need to guard, protect, fix, hide. Earlier, the artist fled from creating images of bodies and objects into abstract art. Emballages let him “touch […]
Katarzyna Kozyra’s installation The Rite of Spring draws upon Vaslav Nijinsky’s famous choreography to Igor Stravinsky’s composition. An iconic performance that took place in Paris in 1913 changed the thinking of both dance and contemporary music, and was frequently reinterpreted.
‘My childhood has a profound influence on what I create now,’ says Katarzyna Szweda. Her photographs are an extension of the artist’s relationship with the presented landscapes. A relationship so close it is almost corporeal.
Every archive is some kind of creation, and every library has a finite amount of books and a catalog developed by someone.
The exhibition evokes questions about the rank and status of objects. Goplana with Elves were not meant to be a decoration, but to “embody a stage character”. For Kantor, the object as a “form – a spatial sculpture with a metaphorical function” became an element of ambient art; arranging a space which is meant to […]
“Thirty to Tomorrow” is a temporary group exhibition created by Robert Kuśmirowski in collaboration with curators Magdalena Ujma-Gawlik and Kamil Kuitkowski, with the participation of artists Marek Chlanda, Andrzej Dudek Dürer, Krzysztof Leon Dziemaszkiewicz, Jan Gryka, Mikołaj Smoczyński, Maciej Świeszewski and Daniel Zagórski.
The exhibition poses questions about the actuality of the process of multiplication. Is creativity unequivocal with the so-called work of art? Does multiplication compromise the artwork or does it provide an opportunity to go beyond its limits?
What is future is also past, and in the present a child’s toy grows to the size of an adult.
Undoubtedly, the stars were in favour of Tadeusz Kantor, born at high noon on 6 April 1915.
Exhibition by Przemek Branas – a new version of his installation “Model of the head of a man who has missed everything in life” – is another project within the Cloakroom exhibition programme.
Hurr durr – a term taken from internet forums, meaning great, usually unjustified outrage.
