Turnus at the Podgląd Gallery #11

Anna Myszkowiak and Karolina Szwed, whose works we will see in Podgląd, work in different media, but both artists talk about the discomfort that accompanies most of their lives, to which art becomes an outlet. Discomfort becomes the product they will present in the showcase.

 

We would like to invite you on July 3 at 6:00 pm to the site of the Podgląd Gallery in Plac Unii City Shopping on the side of Waryńskiego Street for the unveiling of the curtain and a meeting with the curators and artists. The works of Anna Myszkowiak and Karolina Szwed will be on display until September 1.

 

The Podgląd Gallery is available 24 hours a day.

 

Anna Myszkowiak, currently studying at the Department of Sculpture at the University of Arts in Poznan. She creates sculptures, installations, and textiles, in which she combines everyday objects with classical sculptural materials such as wood, metal and resin. In her works, she often refers to atopic dermatitis she lives with, issues of discomfort, delight and posthumanism.

 

Karolina Szwed creates mainly paintings. For the artist, art is an attempt to understand the binary way of constructing reality in mainstream social thought and critically work through its flaws. The author identifies herself as non-binary but interchangeably uses the pronouns it/her and they/them. They believe that works describing subjective experiences resonate most with the viewer, people connect through concrete similarities, and feeling a particular kind of pain together helps people understand themselves and find solidarity in experiencing.

 

Turnus is an independent art and curatorial collective founded by Kamila Falęcka and Marcelina Gorczyńska in 2020. In June 2023, it opened on Wolska Street in Warsaw as a space that goes beyond the traditional gallery model. Guided by the belief that art flourishes in casual, social settings, Turnus combines a rich program of exhibitions and events with a café space as a community-building meeting place. Turnus represents diverse voices of recent art, experimenting with a range of media in their practice, including Ant Lakomsk, Piotr Kowalski, and Tom Tofilski.

 

The artists were selected for presentation in the Podgląd as part of a portfolio review of the Artist: Professional program.
