05/06/17 – 18/06/17

 

BWA in Zielona Góra, Poland

 

info:

 

1) the starting point: an exhibition as an artist’s residency… because of the economic, time related, geo-political, sentimental & artistic reasons as the artists might make some new work & finally he has a chance of spending 2 weeks thinking almost only about the so called art

 

2) the evolution of the ideas: from drawing residency through the artist’s recollection of the times, when as 15 years old he and his friends were frequenting exhibitions at BWA, to the exhibition as an open system

 

3) the exhibition itself: parallel points to develop:

- past: of a place, of hope(s) & of people (texts)

- future: of art & humanity (texts)

- present: everything & anything but mainly urge to live / survive & self-preservation (conversations)

- in other words: texts, conversations & the artists himself as the exhibition

 

4) the artist will be present at the gallery during the duration of the exhibition; come & talk with him; he’ll be also making notes about & from the conversations (texts)

 

5) Maciej Blazejewski grew up in Zielona Góra, Poland; he now lives & works in London; he’s working within text, drawing, video & installations; he’s interested in the trivialities, jokes & ironies of the so called human condition but also in people’s “stupidity” in the context of politics & economy
