5 Lelechowska Street
Organiser: Death of a Man Gallery
Artists: Michal Matejko, Linda Lach
In their performance, Linda Lach and Matejko Michal will defy the need for cognitive closure, seen as the aspiration to have a clear and certain explanation of reality.
Together but next to each other, Lach and Matejko meet on a staircase to find common denominators in similar artistic practices and assumptions: not closing but tapping into a seemingly inorganic reservoir of possibilities.
By entering the space, Linda Lach tries to take it over, treating it as a notebook to self-direct her actions, she wrestles with thought and matter, standing in opposition to the principle of fixed closure. For her, artistic practice is rather a tool to fill an existential space.
Matejko, on the other hand, observes, reflects on perception and the possibilities of ‘framing’ reality, including looking for gateways to reveal visual phenomena. She meticulously frames and transforms, on her terms, the technology that increasingly inundates us.
The performative event takes place as part of Warsaw Gallery Weekend 2022.
The leading concept of the gallery Śmierć Człowieka (Death of Man) is the “prealism” (the upcoming reality), dehumanisation in arts (pure, agency of nothingness), alienation and nihilism (agency of nothingness), that why we leave without explanation what exactly is going to happen there.
