Description

The temperature on earth is increasing every year. We will not stop the catastrophe anymore, and the neo-liberal elite will burn this place celebrating the sensuous view of the sunset in St. Tropez. During the unbearably hot summer, a night walk in the forest can bring rest. Coolness and soothing sounds of soft murmurs and crackles coming from under the feet walking on the groundcover. In the dark, however, it’s easy to lose your path. The ground becomes slushy, the shoes are stuck to a thick, sticky mass. Uncertainty takes the place of peace. Swamp. Dirty and scary.

Gallery info

A space, which serves as day-to-day atelier for a number of artists, is turned into a gallery. We create visual stories, basing on pure-nonsense associations; we promote alternative narratives which play out in your head. Our common denominator is the absurd; it’s what unites us, on top of that we study together. Recent exhibitions: “Marek, we miss you! (Krakers), “Ikeaobiotomoto”, “It’s not paranoia, it’s common sense”.
