Nineteen artists from Poland, Norway and Denmark have responded to the experience and encounters of a bilateral cultural exchange program exploring textile – as our ‘second skin’ – as a bearer of cultural memory, charged with both anterior and enduring histories, and serving as marker and mediator of lives, past, present, and future.
Inspired and informed by a rich multiplicity of artifacts, spaces, people, histories, and narratives, connected through historical and continuing cultures of textile making or production, in both Poland and Norway, the artists have created a diversity of artworks employing the medias of textile, installation, digital, video and audio art and more.
Participating Artists:
Paweł Błęcki (PL) | Pamela Bożek (PL) | Grzegorz Demczuk (PL) | Jagoda Dobecka (PL) | Monika Drożyńska (PL) | Laika Marie Frandsen Andersen (DK) | Wiktoria Gazda (PL) | Katinka Halland (NO) | Clea Filippa Ingwersen (DK) | Agata Jarosławiec (PL) | Olga Konik (PL) | Marta Krześlak (PL) | Natalia Legutko (PL) | Piotr Madej (PL) | Filip Rybkowski (PL) | Ala Savashevich (PL) | Live Skaar Skogesal (NO) | Jakub Święcicki (PL) | Thea Weis (DK)
