Collection

Throughout our lives, we collect a "collection" of people (acquaintances, relatives, relatives), each of which has its own place (status) in our lives.

Bright House

Bright House [Jasny Dom] operated for six months in 2015, constituting presupposed environment-specific intervention into the artistic/bourgeois fabric of the city.

All That Is Solid Melts Into Air, All That Is Holy Is Profaned

Paweł Kruk reverses the traditional economy of the Museum – here the gift goes outside...

The Second Death Of George Mallory

The exhibition touches upon the question of diverse experiencing the matter of the mountain, getting to know it, but also simply being-in-the-world: not so much of cognitive being opposite to, but of being in and next to.

The Attempt

The pre-prepared “attempt” is an attempt to/at strike, protest or revolt against the present oppression of past conditions to resolve in a hopefully bet- tered future, a social improvement.

Ground Works

Whilst mindful of the natural environment, the artists adopt a contrarian stance on land art, and embark on a plan for bio-euthanasia.

Ideal City

The experience of Nowa Huta’s unfinished utopia goes along with an equally multilayered visual archive representing a number of simultaneous policies on working with the image.

Satan’s Children

The project serves as an opportunity to explore the theme of the figure of Satan himself – timidly exorcised from the Polish culture, a symbol of rebellion and knowledge, a new beginning.

Space Ship Bright House

What will art be like in the future? What senses will be contained in this concept? Is art going to have any point at all?

Secession from the Broadcast

The exhibition is a kind of tribute to Gene Youngblood - one of the key theorists of culture and new media

Repose

Repose is a need of suspension, but also of a non-obvious relation between work and a break.

(…) Behind Togetherness

Reading collectivity is a complex process – we feel an itch to have a look at lines that follow, at words that have not been said or gestures that have not been made, to see what is behind the thick wall of the term “collectively”.
