About the Exhibition
Works in painting, creates installations, sculptures, prints, drawings and interventions in public space. He graduated from the Faculty of Media Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, but owes his creative education primarily to grassroots practices related to the exploration of Lower Silesian vacant buildings where he has created numerous interventions over the years. His visual identity and direction of exploration were influenced by his love of geology and the history of human cultural evolution. From 2013-2016 he co-founded Warsaw’s V9 gallery. From 2015-2020, together with Karolina Mełnicka, he led the Nomadic State project – an art collective and fictional nomadic micro-state. In his works he quotes and deconstructs iconographic motifs used in human communication from its origins: from prehistoric wall paintings, Neolithic petroglyphs or medieval symbols to contemporary graffiti and deconstructed logos, in his work he blurs the boundaries between the very contemporary and the archaic.
Draughtswoman, painter and reconstructor of architectural details. Graduate of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw. Currently lives and works in Chicago, USA where she initially went to take part in a professional exchange program and has remained there.
On a daily basis, she works on scaffolding in the restoration of architectural detail, stone and sculpture. She creates her artistic works using drawing techniques where the main medium is crayon and its different variations. She draws because she “has to”. – It is the power of her expression, a need, an element of everyday life. Through art she externalizes her emotionality and the often grotesque and “bizarre” nature of her works shows how she perceives the world and the laws that govern it.
Krzys Bykowski is interested in the process of decomposition of human creations and how nature reclaims spaces appropriated by humans. In his artistic practice, he recreates the visual processes of taking over the urban landscape by non-anthropomorphic organisms – lichens, fungi, mosses or growths. Through the techniques of hand-dyeing textiles, he creates portraits of creatures living in the shadow of man, whose presence is manifested in color, form and texture. His works carry dynamism and movement – echoes of invisible but ongoing biological processes. Bykowski’s work is a reflection on the passing of time, the relationship between culture and nature, and the future in which other life forms will take the place of humans.
Vegan Cannibal, (Carlos Olvera, 1983) , is a visual and sound artist based in Mexico City constantly on the move, His experimental sounds from analog sound improvisation, contact microphones, effects pedals, loops ands feedback that create dark atmospheres and meditations that can lead to moving the body on the dancefloor or internalizing with oneself. In one of his latest projects he has managed to combine tattoing and sound in an experimental performance during special sessions, managing to expand two disciplines that he has worked separately for years.
