We Want the Sea Instead of Poland! / Accompanying program

Pragovka Gallery invites you to the accompanying programme for the exhibition Perfect World by Polish artist Katarzyna Wyszkowska on Thursday, 4 June from 6 pm. The evening will include the launch of a small exhibition catalogue and a lecture by the exhibition’s curator, Piotr Sikora.

Why Will Only Painting Remain After the Flood?

These are the facts. Painting in Poland has never been doing better. It would be nice to have a beach on the northern slopes of the Krkonoše Mountains so that people from Harrachov could go swimming in the Baltic Sea. During the lecture, Polish curator and theorist Piotr Sikora will introduce the artistic context of Katarzyna Wyszkowska’s work and speak about what is currently happening in Polish art, weaving in stories about stereotypes and mutual animosities between Poland and the Czech Republic.
