Unhappy Ending: performnace

„Unhappy Ending. Poems for the Broken/Hearted” to poetycki artbook poświęcony morfologii „złamanego serca” i towarzyszącym mu frustracjom. Jego twórczynie – Ania Malinowska (autorka wierszy) oraz Pola Dwurnik (autorka rysunków) za pomocą obrazu i tekstu, zmapowały etapy i struktury cierpienia po rozpadzie miłości. Książka powstawała na przestrzeni czterech lat w różnych miejscach na świecie: od Nowego Jorku, przez Katowice, Warszawę po amerykańską pustynię. Na podstawie artbooka powstała wystawa prezentowana na początku br. w galerii Krupa we Wrocławiu oraz perfomans, w którym słowo i obraz zostały wzbogacone o dźwięk. Za muzyczną stroną podróży przez bezdroża pustki i rozpaczy stoi kontrabasistka i kompozytorka Kamila Drabek.

Ania Malinowska – krytyczka kultury, pisarka, profesorka. Autorką tekstów akademickich, a także poezji i prozy. Prowadzi eksperymentalny projekt poetycki TEXTRAPOLACJE, który można śledzić na Instagramie (@textrapolations). Niebawem ukaże się jej debiutancka powieść. Obecnie mieszka w Katowicach.

Jest autorką ośmiu książek artystycznych, z których najbardziej znana to „Dziewczyna na płótnie / Girl on Canvas”. Prace Poli Dwurnik znajdują się w kolekcjach Muzeum Narodowego w Gdańsku, Muzeum Sztuki Współczesnej MOCAK w Krakowie, Muzeum Współczesnego Wrocław, POLIN w Warszawie oraz w kolekcjach prywatnych na całym świecie. Aktualnie Pola Dwurnik współpracuje z magazynem artystycznym Postmedium oraz Krupa Gallery we Wrocławiu i Daniel Benjamin Gallery w Londynie.

Kamila Drabek – kontrabasistka i kompozytorka. Gra z O.N.E. Quintet i prowadzi swój Tercet. Grała też z Gregie Osby’m i Vistel Brothers. Już dwa razy prawie dostała Fryderyka. Jak nie gra to rysuje i maluje. Często zmienia fryzurę. Mówi o sobie, że jest pół-góralką i pół-Ślązaczką (Pochodzi z Bielska- Białej, również z Krakowa i teraz też z Warszawy).

This is a mechanism by which it is possible to remain in the place that you live, without exposing others or being exposed, while still being able to experience the presence of resistance in three dimensions. In my own private apartment, you will be able to experience the encounter between body and law while managing to come out without a single scratch. Your guilt will accompany you throughout the spaces as you digest the resistance digitally. This is the possibility of staying in isolation and being present in all places in the real world.

Over the last few months, large-scale protests have been ongoing in Israel. A number of organizations, with the main one being the „Black Flags” movement, protest against a range of issues: against the Prime Minister, where the protesters are demanding his resignation due to the indictment against him; against the erosion of state institutions, emphasising harm to the rule of law system; against the treatment of the economic crisis created in Israel due to the corona pandemic; protests by sectors affected by the economic crisis, including the self-employed, employees, teachers, social workers, restaurateurs and people in the fields of sports and culture. Many civilians were injured due to police violence.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Regev Amrani (1988) is a video artist and sculptor and a graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design (BFA) in the Fine Art Department 2016. In changing settings, Amrani combines sculptural installations, sound, video works, and autobiographical information with contemporary social and political situations.
On the surface of many of his works there is a desire to distance masculine violence and sexuality. The ideas of impulse and desire are disinfected, purified and cleansed through various mechanical filtering objects. These mechanisms dismantle the physical experience of the body with the help of these filters.

The project “Das Nicht nichtet” is about the growing fatigue with the void, which feels even more wearing during the second lockdown. The presentation contains five objects to be found between an abundance of an empty space.
The new series of digital drawings created by Maess, who in her artistic practice usually uses the more traditional mediums of drawing and painting, reflects on the feeling of constant tiredness and uncertainty that accompanies the pandemic.

* Das Nicht nichtet / Nothingness nothings / Nictwo się nicestwi
quotation from „What Is Metaphysics?” a lecture by the philosopher Martin Heidegger,
first presented to the faculties of the University of Freiburg on July 24, 1929 as inaugural address

Playing In The Street

In December 2019, Laura Ginès and Pepon Meneses co-directed a video essay entitled “Jugar al carrer” ( “Playing in the Street” ) for “Soy Camara” – an online TV programme produced by Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB).
“Urban spaces of play are designated as separate zones, segregating them from the bustle and chaos of the city. This separation destroys the very nature of play and what it has always been: learning to live together and relate with the world. This episode of 'Soy Cámara’ is a nostalgic celebration of the street as a place of growing up, something which the zoning of cities may no longer provide” – explains the artists.
Published exactly one year later, as a part of a collage created by Laura Ginès for “The Virtual Canvas” website, the video gains new meanings placed in a new context of the pandemic reality.
What will be the long term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on public space? Will the street remain a place for free play and spontaneous social interaction? If so, in what ways?

“Playing in the Street” (“Jugar al carrer”), 2019
Produced by: Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona
Directors: Laura Ginès and Pepon Meneses
Editing: Laura Ginès and Taller Estampa
'Soy cámara’ team: Víctor Diago
Proofreader: Jaume Ortolà
English subtitles: Cruz Rodríguez Juiz

The images used in „Covid Playgrounds” were taken in Warsaw during COVID-19 pandemic lockdown (April 2020), when several restrictions on the use of public space and social distancing were introduced to protect the public health.

Using the model of the popular children street game hopscotch (and incorporating “heaven” and “hell” fields which are typical elements to the Polish version of the game), Post Noviki explores the ironic, yet frightening development of the public space during a pandemic.
The work invites the viewer to contemplate on how COVID-19 will affect the way we use and perceive the public space and what the future of urban planning and city design in a post-COVID-19 world could be.

Why Quit (Karolina Balcer, Iwona Ogrodzka)

Satisfying the housing needs of the society is one of the basic tasks of the modern world. Yet at the same time, the world is getting louder and more cramped than ever before. Regardless of what we want or plan, the space for rest is merging with the place of work.

The comfort of home is gradually commodified. Workplaces in co-working spaces and large corporations are made to look homely, while laptops are often marketed as devices to be used from the comfort of your own bed. Once given the possibility to work remotely, paid work has crept into the space of home. We work from the bedroom, the kitchen table, and the toilet.*

*Aleksandra Gordowy, Dom jako przestrzeń produktywna i nieproduktywna [Home as a productive and unproductive space], Bęc Zmiana, 2020

The text used in the work entitled „Compression” is based on articles in The Guardian describing the housing problems of British people during the Sars-Covid-19 epidemic.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS 

Why Quit (Karolina Balcer & Iwona Ogrodzka)
Collaboration, acquiring knowledge, the power of friendship and community building are important factors of our work. We have been working together closely since 2016, and the Why Quit initiative, launched in 2019, is the result of our experience, including the establishment of the bottom-up Wykwit Gallery (2015-2019), the Wykwitex Group (since 2017) and many joint projects, e.g. during our residency in KulturKontakt in Vienna (2018). Why Quit is a nomadic initiative which, apart from acting in a duet, attracts creative people to critically comment on social, political and economic situations. We believe that art can be one of the tools to put pressure on the structures that make up the harmful system.
