Opening: 13th January 2012, 6.00 pm.

The exhibition has been prepared with even more attention than usual paid to our audience. Especially FOR YOU we present works of art that both complement and develop our Collection of the 20th and 21st century Art in a particular way. Thanks to the works the collection can participate in creating contemporary reality to an even greater degree by presenting the current examples of international creative works. All works were purchased last year as a part of the National Collections of Contemporary Art programme of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.

Artists:
Monica Bonvicini, Angelika Fojtuch, Tamás Kaszás, Zofia Kulik, Grigor Khatchatrian, Adrian Paci, Ewa Partum, Ali Kazma, Mladen Stilinović, Janek Simon, Paulina Ołowska, Haegue Yang, Thea Djordjadze, Ján Mančuška, Johanna Billing, Teresa Tyszkiewicz, Zoran Todorović, Robert Maciejuk, Katarina Zdjelar.

Reverse Joy looks at Muharram, the perpetual protest at the heart of the Shi’a faith, for its radical reconsideration of history, progress, if not time itself. Equal parts research and original work, Reverse Joy serves as the first installment in Slavs and Tatars’s new cycle of work The Faculty of Substitution: the agility, coordination and balance to tell one tale through another, to adopt the inner-most thoughts, experiences, beliefs, and sensations of others as one’s own, in an effort to challenge the very notion of distance, as the shortest length between two points.

Curated by Jarosław Lubiak and Joanna Sokołowska
