exhibition: "Force Field", Oficine 800, Giudecca, Venice

curator: Anna Muszyńska

Fundacja Rodziny Staraków / Spectra Art Space

The premiere projects of thirteen artists, who currently represent the young generation’s cutting edge, compose a captivating and multi-faceted narrative about the present, past and future.

The F o r c e  F i e l d exhibition is an attempt to capture the common denominator for the subjective viewpoint of reality, which binds all artists. This is because most of them draw their attention to affective experiences, personal relations, intimate emotions. They regard art as a “force field” which generates an alternative zone of unfettered and creative development, a safe space. The artists seem to accept the fact that art does not have hard tools at its disposal which could remedy political, social or environmental crises they both witness and experience. Is this deliberate and cautious withdrawal a sign of passivity? On the contrary. Contemplations being a condensation of attention require peacefully safe places, and it is from them that the force with which the artists’ statements intrude into reality is derived. A clearly outlined conclusion is an elusive or even unuttered nostalgy for the disappearing foundations. Incontestable values, acceptance of corporeal passing, credibility of relations, environmental equilibrium, locality of crises that gives an opportunity for a real activity. The contemporary young Polish art is inquisitive, attentive and critical. It happens that it assumes the form of a socially involved activity, it often couples with diligent manual labour. Elsewhere it forms a charming phantasy or an astounding, albeit challenging, pleasure. Sequences overlap, the preset mechanisms work with the preset and intended force. The role of an artist as a strict critic, a vigilant observer, is undertaken in a responsible manner, and maturity reaches its path.

“This is a dynamic composition made mainly of plastic and foam, which are not random materials and are associated with artificial, inorganic world. In terms of form and technology of manufacturing, my work corresponds with the feeling of decomposition, change of state, transformation. My search is an insight into the future, it’s a narrative of a conflict and tensions between different corporal realities and their relation to the surroundings. It’s a form of visualization of fears that lurk on the horizon. Of the concern about whatever people will have to contend with in order to survive. I think that humankind will survive anything. Maybe not in the same number, maybe in a different form, in different surroundings, but it will survive. For the time being, this thought is more terrifying to me than the prospect of doom.”
