Porthos
16.05.–31.05.2012 | ul. Marszalkowska 9/15, Warszawa | Projekt im Rahmen der Residency am CCA Warschau
Just like craftsmen workshops and service companies, Marszewski’s studio will welcome its public within a fixed timeframe: two afternoons on Thursdays and two late evenings on Saturdays. Outside the opening hours, the work in progress taking place in the studio will be revealed through the premise’s shop – windows. The event, organised in a former hat store Porthos, is neither a conventional exhibition, nor a series of carefully planned actions. Its rather an ongoing situation, revealing hidden and unexpected actions, appearing spontaneously, without a defined script or measure. The keywords useful for understanding Marszewski’s intention are „the processual” and „collage”. The artist plans to use various media in producing her Warsaw inspired art pieces: including photography, installation, sound, word, silk-screen print and performance.
This situation takes place within the residency of Katharina Marszewski at Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art in the framework of Studio Warszawa curated by Marianna Dobkowska.
