Around "New Europe" by Lukasz Trzcinski
Eastern Europe, Central Europe, Central Europe... Whatever we call this area marked at its inception by both Byzantine and Frankish Empire influences, thinking about it triggers emotions over and over again, from uncertainty to nostalgia to awe, and sometimes a whole diverse range of feelings, as seen in literary or cinematic narratives describing the European phenomenon. For an outside observer, the...
WINDOWS: Luo Yongjin & Yang Yongliang
Nature has generously endowed the world with coils. Many kinds of reptiles or crustaceans boast the ability to coil their bodies, but other animals also make use of this shape - if only during sleep. What we observe in some species externally is much more common under the skin: nerve ganglia, brain ganglia, etc., to end up in the fetus, which until birth....
Gallerists of sensitivity. On the latest Polish photography
Come here, Youth, come! Behold, a new morning rises, A picture of truth hitherto unknown, Doubt and clouds of reason, Disputes for the crowd's delight - Behold, they have dispelled. Madness is a dark forest, It's a labyrinth of madly tangled roots. How many have fallen there! What they should care for, They do not know; In darkness for bones they stumble The dead in this wilderness. I...

Unofficially - Lucia Nimcova
The legacy of socialism? I think it is humiliation and indifference. You stand before a committee that decides your fate. If you expect someone else to solve your problems, you expect certainty, as if it were free. Yet only gifts are free. Knowledge and action are the tools with which you can gain certainty; they are not given. How can you pursue...
Widen the vision - photographs by Bronislaw Schlabs from 1953-1956
The work of Bronislaw Schlabs is primarily associated with the photographic avant-garde of the late 1950s, with the innovative photography exhibition organized together with Jerzy Lewczynski and Zdzislaw Beksinski, which went down in history under the name "Antiphotography", and with abstract photographic compositions made without a camera - "Photograms". Meanwhile, virtually unknown are the photographs that Schlabs created before the period of photographic abstractions,...
On still life resurrection
In these images - unlike in almost all of Pawel Zak's work to date - the glue of the whole seems to be above all white; so far, his photographs have been kept in fleshy, dense, dark, almost gloomy tones. The change from the so-called low key to high key is accompanied by the abandonment of the saturated grays of silver techniques in favor of the colors offered by the latest technologies....
Nicholas Winter: Warsaw - One-Dimensional Landscape
Communist Poland is associated with gray: gray people in a gray landscape. Gray concrete facades, advertising signs in dull colors, no lights on the streets, monochromatic clothing made of poor-quality materials, ugly paper packaging. This atmosphere is documented - already in the new reality - in Nicholas Winter's (b. 1973) sepia Polaroids from the series "New Wilanów" (2009). Poland after 1989...
