CONCEPT
Polish exhibition presents six woman- artists Marianna Lisiecka-Syska, Katarzyna Podgórska-Glonti, Izabela Stronias, Monika Wanyura- Kurosad, Marta Wyszyńska, Katarzyna Zawistowska. Each of them represents distinct point of views on spatial art. Individualism of attitudes, different generations is a value in itself and praises the diversity of creative attitudes. Display widens the borders of meaning of set design. Presented scenography, drama costumes, opera, feature film, objects and installations are what carries meaning in stories. Visual narratives are screaming, reciting, whispering, always an important message for the current viewer. They are the reflective or the critical voice. Shown realisations apply to the criteria’s of the Symposium „Culture and crisis”.
