Beschreibung der Ausstellung:
ŻAK | BRANICKA is happy to announce the new solo
exhibition of Marlena Kudlicka, marking this as the artist’s
solo debut in the new space of the gallery.
The exhibition Elements of Peaceful Engagement is an
attempt to redefine the concept of sculpture in light of
questions relating to the physical and mental process of its
creation and its relation to space. The title refers to a
person’s character or a strategic system that merges with
an office’s style, which in turn, tailors a decision making
process. The series of sculptures and sculptural collages
created by Marlena Kudlicka take the viewer back to the
avant-garde tradition of constructivism and the subsequent
practice of the Polish avant-garde. Nevertheless, in her
way of understanding the particularity of sculpture and its
function in space, the artist draws more deeply from the
history and tradition of this medium.
Marlena Kudlicka’s work is based on the space she
describes as the “container of counterpoints”. She sees it
as an objective frame, such as a grid or a technical
drawing. Enriched nonetheless by a formal artistic gesture,
her perception takes on a subjective nature. The space
around Kudlicka’s sculpture thus becomes a place of
mental processes – projection, communication, reception –
and the so-called counterpoints that form space become
the bases of the mechanisms of understanding and of
action of the human being in space.
The universal language of mathematics used by the artist
captures space in a perceptible form, showing the
dynamics that occur between the work and the viewer.
This process named by Robert Morris “the present tense of
space” emphasizes the immediacy of its experience and
the consciousness of its reception.
Kudlicka’s works rethink form as a technical protocol,
where numbers and other mathematical symbols explain
the parameters of a given idea. Like an identification plate,
the sculpture explains the origin and the meaning of the
artistic gestures and the decisions contained in the closed
space of the exhibition space.
based in Anna Tomczak’s text for the exhibition sugar in
the ashes. Official Capacity at LaBF 15, Lyon, FR
Opening: September 15, 2017, 6 - 9 pm
