Exhibition opening: “good home” [There is enough space for us]

Soft, warm, familiar. It smells like bread. Own. But home also occurs while traveling, so it can be unstable. Home also endures during war, although it is not necessarily still safe. After all, home is also the Earth, even though we destroy it with our own hands. So is home always the most important thing? What does a “best livable” city mean? Or maybe “home” is simply a universe of the most important meanings?

After “bad home” and a series of podcasts, we invite you to the second exhibition as part of the “We Enough Space” (Miejsca nam wystarczy) project.

Artists:

Melanie Hollaus, Anna Wańtuch, Beata Malinowska-Petelenz, Artem Humilevskyi, Wisz Orłowski, Anna Rzyczniak, Sebastian Ożóg, Piotr Kogut, Franciszek Araszkiewicz

Media: photography, video, sound art

The project is being implemented with funds from the Poland’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan – KPO for culture.

Exhibition opening: “bad home” [There is enough space for us]

Is “home the cube of childhood | a house is a cube of emotion” (Zbigniew Herbert) or maybe “A house is not walls at all | and ceilings and floors” (Anna Kamieńska)?

A home, apart from its soul, also has a body. Physically, the home is there – or missing. It is messy or clean. Home can strengthen and home can tire. We live in specific places, spaces and contexts that cannot be erased. Home emotions can be tormenting, but also bad access, lack of greenery or neighbors. How do we live and what does it mean? Why do we call some spaces “bad”? How does space affect the psyche and is a Polish house different from others?

We cordially invite you to the international exhibition “Bad home” (zły dom) as part of the “We Enough Space” (Miejsca nam wystarczy) project.
