Paulina Pankiewicz: What I Mean When I Talk About “My Things”
-
On 20 May, we invite you to a meeting with Paulina Pankiewicz — What I Mean When I Talk About “My Things”. The event will exceptionally take place in the Wojciech Krukowski Hall.
- Paulina Pankiewicz is a visual artist working with performance, drawing, and video. She values solitude, but also draws energy from dialogue, collaborating with musicians, athletes, and architects. The titular “my things” will become a starting point for a conversation about personal working methods, everyday practices, and experiences that shape artistic activity.
- The artist often enters into dialogue with the spatial structures of the city — observing, examining, and describing them. She finds equally strong inspiration in nature. She likes to stay in motion. She is a long-distance runner, and this activity also defines her as an artist. For the past 14 years, she has worked as a running guide for blind people. She situates this part of her practice at the intersection of sport, art, and activism.

-
- Every week, we meet live with artists to talk about art: creative processes, works, and current experiences.
- We host both artists who have previously taken part in Ujazdowski Castle’s programme and those making their debut. In this series, we would like to focus on individual approaches and artistic practices.
- Every week, we meet live with artists to talk about art: creative processes, works, and current experiences.
- Why take part?
- The events will be recorded for archival purposes, and the recordings will be made available online through the Mediateka.
- In times of tensions and crises, thinking and talking together about contemporary art – which responds to today’s challenges in unconventional ways – helps strengthen social resilience. Art is not only the object – just as important are the process, the thinking, the emotions, and the relationships that accompany it. The meetings offer a closer look at how art is created and, most importantly, who creates it.
- The events will be recorded for archival purposes, and the recordings will be made available online through the Mediateka.
- The meetings are open to everyone, from people working professionally in culture and art, to those who are curious about artists and their work, or simply want to talk about art.
- We do our best to make the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art accessible to everyone – we would like to adapt the event to you and your needs. To help us do that, please contact our accessibility coordinator: dostepnosc@u-jazdowski.pl, no later than the Monday before the event.
