11.10 (Fri), 7 pm – Wojciech Ireneusz Sobczyk – Atlas of Weeds – exhibition opening
The artist carefully studies marks left by history, to then transform them into equivocal, though provoking artworks. The exhibition was inspired by the pre and post-war history of the tenement house that currently hosts the gallery. At the beginning of the 1941 it was populated by 79 residents of Jewish origin. When the war ends, the residents’ list has only Polish names on it.
