The Absolute Factory

In his art practice, Andrzej Wasilewski refers to the relationship of contemporary man with technology, communication, economy, archaeology, research methods and climate change, the nature of which has caused the current ethics, interdependence of genres, and finally creativity itself to become outdated.

The Absolute Factory is a site-specific audio-visual piece created especially for the show at Boxes Art Museum. The concept of the massive apocalyptic work combines a scientific approach with a sense of absurdity and black humour. The exhibition spaces of the building features a set of complementary installations, in which the artist uses the language of primitive technological forms, industrial iconography and pop culture to take up the complex topic of coal and fossil fuels in the context of climate change and new social and political utopias.

Originating from the Five Emperors, fans were first crafted by Emperor Shun and initially served as ceremonial objects, symbols of status among the elite. Over time, fans evolved into items for cooling, play, collection, and gift-giving. With various types like feather fans, palm fans, silk fans, and folding fans, their significance has endured through the ages. From the Tang dynasty's poetic references to the continued tradition of painting and writing on fan surfaces, fans have become treasured artifacts.

21g Contemporary Art Exhibition

21g-Contemporary-Art-Exhibition.jpg

Human exploration of the essence of the spirit and soul has never ceased. From Plato’s theory of forms to Hegel’s phenomenology of spirit, philosophers have continually sought to deconstruct the duality of spirit and matter. In 1907, Duncan MacDougall’s “21 Grams Experiment,” though not recognized by the scientific community, breathed new life into this age-old question, provoking deep reflections on the materialization of the spirit.

This exhibition, titled “21 Grams,” does not aim to verify the physical existence of the soul but uses this metaphor to explore the complex relationship between spirit and matter in a contemporary context. The participating artists employ diverse media—video, installation, performance, and photography—to offer unique interpretations of this theme, creating a dialogue space that blends philosophy, science, and art.

Behind the Scenes Without Walls

In this creative process, the artist continues to employ the technique of pairing negative woodblocks with color fields. Various symbolic elements are suspended within the gallery space, forming "reliefs" infused with street culture. The exhibition space is akin to the "backstage" of a theatrical performance, where visitors can freely navigate through the installation, experiencing the shifting perspectives and visual angles with their bodies. From the "front," the pure color block compositions offer an open and expansive view; while from the "back," viewers can only gaze at the symbolic arrangements from specific, deliberate angles.

Until further notice. Stationed art exhibition
