Architectures Of Gender: Contemporary Women's Art In Poland

Architectures of Gender features numerous separate spaces utilized by the artists for site-specific installations of diverse aesthetics and with a variety of points of view. Their positions range from more political stances and critical approaches to reality to the more private and individualistic ones. Visitors pass through a gallery of issues related to gender, as they are addressed in women's art practice, such as feminism, sexuality, domesticity, and intimacy. The exhibition will be perceived as a coherent whole primarily on the basis of the interaction between the individual works and the new gallery space. The concept of "space" in this exhibition ranges from "gallery space", through "social space", to private emotional space. The space has been physically, architecturally, culturally, psychologically transformed, redefined, marked, and affected.
