RELATIONSHIPS AND CHANGE
“UpComing. Selected Diplomas of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw” provides a platform for new talents whose works interpret the richness of human experience and reflect on the changing world.
The curatorial concept for this year’s – 15th – edition, prepared by second-year students of the Faculty of Artistic Research and Curatorial Studies, does not focus on the specific themes of the works, but on their interrelationships and layers, showing the continuous process of evolution. In their view, the central question posed by the works on display is the search for one’s place in a dynamic world and the preparation for inevitable change.
The works exhibited in this year’s exhibition are not just the result of studies at an art college, but are an integral part of the creative life of the graduates. The exhibition is to be seen as the next stage in their development, which opens up new possibilities.
HANDLE WITH CARE
During ‘UpComing 2023: Selected Diplomas of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Handle with care’ features motifs related to infinity and limitations, the importance of memory and the exploration of the relationship between the body and the surrounding world. Together, they refer to the moment of packaging diplomas and sending them out into the world as a symbolic step into the future.
