During adaptation of an apartment at Marszałkowska Street for the venue of the Czarna Gallery its former bourgeois character was revealed in the now visible stuccos. Dorota Buczkowska’s show goes further to enhance this high atmosphere.

- What made you come to Warsaw for this residency?

- I came to make Polish work.

- What did you expect from the place?

- Nothing. And everything.

The Pod zamkniętymi powiekami / With eyes shut exhibition presents, side by side, works by different artists, but which have a common denominator: each of them is a moment of initiation revisited; each an attempt to come to grips with an event from the past, which has proven a threshold for some, a point of no return, a moment after which nothing was the same.

We are pleased to announce our participation in VIENNAFAIR.

The presentation consists of 3080 almost identical, 10x10cm paintings – all hanging in a long, narrow corridor. The technicalities, however, may distort the essential meaning of this work, which resides not as much in a manner of arrangement, as in the fact of its being evocative of a certain type of experience - an uncomfortable and intimidating one, at that.
