The exhibition Words are reviewed in itself will explore the relationships between the word — text, poetry — and the image, and the curator, Daniel Muzyczuk, invited renowned artists from different generations, who work in different media to participate. Selected works were translated into words by the poets and poets invited to the project. The exhibition will include works by Paweł Kowalewski, founder and co-creator of Gruppa, one of the most important artistic collectives of Polish art of the 1980s. The exhibition at the Stefan Gierowski Foundation is a unique opportunity to see the works of the artist from this period — both those recognized and those not shown before. It will be possible to get acquainted with the work of Andrzej Partum, an artist born in 1938, who was one of the most recognized pioneers of neo-avant-garde art in post-war Poland. There will also be works by Małgorzata Rittersschild from the 1990s and artists from the younger generation, born in the nineties — Zuzana Bartoszek and Agata Ingarden. The exhibition will also see the works of other outstanding artists — Wojciech Bąkowski, Tomasz Kowalski, Andrzej Partum, Anna Ostoa, Maria Stangret and Tomasz Żołnierkiewicz. The exhibition will be accompanied by poetic works by Zuzanna Bartoszek, Marcin Czerkasow, Darek Foks, Emilia Konwerska and Natalia Malek. “You'd have to see it!” is a sentence that closes the discussion and leaves the worlds of eyewitness and literality eternally separated. Experience teaches, however, that you don't have to see everything to tell about it. And also the fact that the story about an object is often definitely more interesting than its appearance. — writes the curator of the exhibition, Daniel Muzyczuk The Internet has refreshed the relationship between the description and the image. Alt text appears wherever the image is not available. It is often generated by AI. The famous DALL-E image generator relies on text to create graphics, using the resources of the Internet. The ideology of the modern dominance of the image over other methods of communication hides that unexpectedly the text pulls on more and more strings. Logocentrism is entering a new phase. The exhibition shows the works of artists who create paintings, use mediation through text and the various relationships that can occur between the spheres of text and image. The question of the relationship between text and image is also a matter of narration. Is it possible to include in the visual medium a story unfolding over time or simply the passage of time? It is also the other way around — words allow you to name objects and stabilize meaning. We will see non-existent objects whose appearance is mediated by the story. We will also see works that are based on the destabilization of their meaning by an ambiguous text, as well as images-pages of a diary and images-inkers...
