Join us for an intimate Saturday evening talk. Artist Grzegorz Stefański will talk with curator Szymon Żydek about his first solo exhibition at Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art.
Grzegorz Stefański’s latest realization is a multi-channel installation, with the point of departure being the ephemeral moment in which the human body is in free fall. In his video works, the artist explores the possibilities as well as limitations of the film medium. He is interested in the legacy of European cinematography, history written in the human body, cultural determinants of masculinity or the microchoreographies of violence. In the new work presented in Project Room, he develops the motifs that were present in his earlier works.
