untitled

from the cycle Together We Can Survive Anything, 2014, felt-tip pen, canvas, 25.5 × 44.5 cm

This series of works by Magdalena Starska saw daylight in the course of designing the Together We Can Survive Anything project at the Stereo Gallery in Warsaw in 2014. The artist drew them on textile, “ordinary” material close to everyone’s daily life. Developing over several months, the project climaxed in the gallery space, and commenced with the artist making a fire and burning sections of textile she would later use to create her spatial installation and drawings.
