Katarzyna Kozyra is currently preparing an autobiographical feature film and is looking for people to perform her character in this future movie about herself. Within her solo show CASTING at Zacheta National Gallery of Art there will be a casting room, where visitors can give their own interpretation of Katazyna Kozyra after gaining an overview on her and her work at the exhibition. Aside from works such as Pyramid of Animals, Bathhouse and films from the In Art Dreams Come True cycle there will also be presented archive material and documentary films to give the viewer the opportunity to experience the artist in her wide variety of forms and incarnations; she transforms into a man, a cheerleader, a voyeur, a drag queen or an opera diva amongst others. 

The material from the casting will be on show during the exhibition (with the performer's agreement) as well as build the basis for the artist's selection of the cast and for her reworking of the film's already existing script.

For further information please visit www.zacheta.art.pl

Under the name of PROJECT SPACE: INVOCATIONS OF THE BLANK PAGE, Spike Island is showing Vlatka Horvat in a group show with Martin Creed, Ryan Gander, Gareth Long, Anna Molska and Ignacio Uriarte.

What is the space that lies between ideas and their eventual articulation as language, actions or objects in the world? How can we define those interim moments of formlessness and effervescence that hover unpredictable and light before tipping into the realm of the real? This exhibition moves between the freefall lightness of thought and the contradictory weight of words as they form on the page. The works included gesture toward or take the form of blank sheets of paper: creased and folded, falling through space, or traversed by the body.

At the heart of the exhibition lies a concern with the elusiveness of meaning, the inadequacy of language and the struggle for creative expression.

Exhibition: Jan 21 - April 10, 2011

The exhibition Die kleine Improvistation – polnische Kunst heute, curated by Dorothee Bienert gives an insight on the current polish art scene.
The artists whose works are shown in this exhibition reflect the effects of the political upheaval in the 1990s on the polish society, activate their memories of their childhood and adolescence in a socialist state, question the meaning of architecture for everyday life or deal  in a humoristic way with the void between high standards and improvised reality. Thereby not only personal stories but also a critical view on policy and society realized in a diverse range of media play a key role.

The exhibition is supported by the consulate general of the Republic of Poland in Hamburg and by the ministry for education and culture Schleswig Holstein in the context of Ars Baltica.

At Art Basel Statements 2009 ŻAK BRANICKA will be presenting a solo show with Paweł Książek Silent Utopia.

Please visit our booth: Hall 1, Booth S3
10-14 June 2009

www.artbasel.com

Paweł Książek’s project Silent Utopia is a speculative fantasy regarding the infiltrations and connections between Eastern European modernism in architecture and German silent film of the 1920’s. The Art Basel Statements presentation focuses on Metropolis, the 1925 film by director and architect, Fritz Lang, and the implementations of such prominent architects of the period.
Paweł Książek examines the connections between this architecture and the film and based on these connections, he proposes a hypothetical analogy for the existence of a sensibility common to that era of creators and thinkers. Upon examining both aesthetics, he wonders whether there were visual markers that could have been prognostic of the impending catastrophe.  Książek speculates about how a film could look, and how its content would be altered or maintained, when Czech, Hungarian or Polish architecture replaces the scenography. What would it look like if the film was made in Prague with the Bata Shop building in the background (Ludvik Kysela, Bata Store, Prague 1929), or in Brno in front of Josef Kranz’s 1929 Café Era, using the building’s neon E-R-A sign to light the street on a Metropolis night? In fact, why wasn’t the film shot on Warsaw’s “Ulica Przyszlosci” (“Future Street”) designed by Lech Niemojewski in 1925?
Paweł Książek’s paintings and photomontages function as his tools in effacing the border between document and fiction. By juxtaposing and overlaying these two historical phenomena, connected by a trust in the future and contemporaneously created in different places in Europe, Pawel Książek has built his own fake vision of the past.

Hubert Czerepok's solo exhibition Devil's Island opens May 22, 2009 at La Criée - Centre d'Art Contemporain Rennes.

22.05.2009 - 26.07.2009

http://www.criee.org/

At the core of Czerepok`s oeuvre are the connections between fiction, topicality and historical events. It is not the facts themselves that interest the artist, but rather the way they begin with shifts, mutations, and unimaginable formal and semantic transformations.

For Devil’s Island (2009), the video installation on show at La Criée, the artist visited the rocky islet off the coast of Kourou in French Guiana, famed for the penal colony to which many French political prisoners – including Alfred Dreyfus – were condemned. The images he brought back are projected onto a hexagonal sculpture referencing another form of disciplinary power: the Panopticon. Part of a circular prison building, the Panopticon allows full-time surveillance of prisoners without their knowing if they are being watched or not, the result being a sense of invisible omniscience.

The exhibition also includes a series of drawings, Seances, which brings together media images relating to some tragic current event, spiritualist séances or sexual scenes. The initial Seances series retained only a minimal trace of the originals, while the images made for the Rennes exhibition combine areas of flat black with line drawing. Here Czerepok pays tribute to Goya’s Disasters of War engravings and their demonstration of all the atrocious cruelty mankind is capable of. In this new look at glamorised, mass-produced media violence, the artist forces the image back into its genuinely traumatising, critical role.

The Devil’s Island exhibition comprises a highly diverse selection of works that lead us to reflect on different forms of power, the way they are depicted and the impact of this depiction on our lives.

Booth concept: Is Ornament a Crime?

It seems that we fell so deeply in love with Modernism that we have forgotten the seductive power of the Ornament, its antithesis. And maybe it is not concerned with forgetting but rather with a type of shame about the lack of content in the Ornament and the favor, which we sense when we allow a look into this rhythmic slip. But the Ornament, which in the beginnings of Modernism was compromised and even sometimes proscribed as criminal, is today reborn in a new form. We long for the emotion that it arouses, we dream of it and of refreshing this visual delight. Today, Adolf Loos’ excommunication of this is no longer relevant: the Ornament is not a crime. It is rather a passion. The chosen works are arranged such that they are mutually enervated, and so that their visual power – just as that of the Ornament – is also reciprocally supported by its surroundings. The viewer should be physically satisfied, involved in visual bliss: quietly losing focus, they are taken by a dizzying Vertigo. There is sufficient motivation to be freed from the shame of the Ornament. The choice is not an attempt to locate the border between the figurative and abstract. Rather, here we are shown the importance of the blurred transitions and the impossibility of an existence without these supporting inspirations.

You are cordially invited to the cooperative project EUROGUM, the first german solo exhibition of Piotr Jaros.

Concept

The true fiction / the fictional truth

The exhibition presented at the ŻAK | BRANICKA stand focuses on one side, on how deeply we believe in the fulfillment of those promises of a future that will always remain utopic and on the other hand, on how much we doubt the probability of phenomena, that most likely are real.
We had belived in a future so much, but it proved to be a catastrophy even before it was fully manifested. Everything that Modernism had promised us has remained unfulfilled, and the dream of the splendit future has turned out to be fiction. The topic of the utopia of Modernism is taken up in the work of Szymon Kobylarz in the model of a building that has been built after the L´Unite d´habitation de Marseille of Le Corbusier. This building stands today in the industrial city of Katowice (Poland), while the original no longer exists. In the work, Superjednostka the artist has sentenced the building to destruction.
To the past refers also Krzysztof Zielinski, who has photographed his primary school built in the 60´s. In his works the harshness of the socialistic epoch becomes cozy. Even deeper into the past reaches Pawel Ksiazek as he refers to the exclusive aesthetic of De Stjil, and exposes its affiliations with the visual culture of the Black Metal. These works deal with the way the blending of high culture into mass culture proceeds.
The project of Hubert Czerepok is a classic reenactment of events that took place in the 70´s, in a small village in Poland. Even if we believe in conspiracy theories, we don´t want to believe in the landing of an UFO, even if it could be true.
