Poniżej informacje w języku angielskim przesłane do Redakcji.
Emilia Kina (b. 1990, Poland) graduated from the Faculty of Painting at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, Poland. She is interested in the materiality of the image, a simple form arising from complex problems, where the essence lies in the relations between painting as an image and painting as an object. Recalling screens, curtains and blinds, which like a room divider conceal the view, her works play by intertwining various sensory and interpretive layers.
Kina has recently staged her solo exhibitions at Raster Gallery in Warsaw, eastcontemporary in Milan and the Grey House Gallery in Cracow. She has participated in group exhibitions at Eve Leibe Gallery in London, Stefan Gierowski Foundation in Warsaw and Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery in London, among many others. Her works were recently exhibited at international art fairs such as Artissima in Turin, NADA in Miami or Felix Art Fair in Los Angeles.
Ula Lucińska and Michał Knychaus work together as the Inside Job duo. Both graduated from the department of New Media at the University of Arts in Poznań, Poland. Their practice is focused on the use of different mediums and materials, which often leads to the creation of multi-layered, object-based environments. Many of their projects refer to catastrophic scenarios in which the hauntings from the past and futuristic speculations are intertwined. They are interested in the environmental, social and geopolitical changes that shape the present and influence the imaginarium of possible futures. By incorporating fiction as working methodology they explore its self-fulfilling potential – forecasting dystopias and utopias to examine their possibilities and limitations.
They have recently exhibited at Zacheta National Gallery of Art in Warsaw, eastcontemporary in Milan, Šopa Gallery, Košice, BSMNT Gallery in Leipzig, Aldea Gallery in Bergen, Lily Robert Gallery in Paris, Iskra Delta – The 34th Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts in Ljubljana. In 2024 they will have a solo exhibition at Rondo Sztuki in Katowice.
