Da Polacco a Inglese: From the Block (curator's text to an exhibition) General field: Arte/Letteratura Detailed field: Arte, Arti applicate, Pittura
Testo originale - Polacco W legendzie o Bazyliszku, potworze tak strasznym, że sam jego widok zamieniał ludzi w kamień, zwycięzcą okazuje się chłopiec, którego jedyną bronią jest spryt i zuchwałość. Dopiero lustro i odbity w nim obraz bestii, unicestwia wrogą siłę i ratuje Warszawę od zagrożenia. Podobną strategię bolesnego samopoznania stosuje w wystawie Klatka Karolina Mełnicka, w której pracach odbija się nostalgia za dzieciństwem w bloku z wielkiej płyty i palące pragnienie nowoczesności, zamknięte w szklanych wieżowcach współczesnego miasta. Artystka tworzy rzeźby, które w krytyczny sposób nawiązują do wizualności modernistycznej sypialni dawnej Woli - Osiedla Za Żelazną Bramą - oraz do dzisiejszego pejzażu dzielnicy, w którym sen i odpoczynek zostały zamienione w pracę i pomnażanie kapitału.
Traduzione - Inglese In the legend of basilisk — a monster so terrifying that the mere sight of him turned people into stone — the one who wins with the beast is a boy with no more than his own cunning and audacity as weapons. It only took a mirror and the reflected image of the beast to destroy the inimical power and save Warsaw from peril. A similar strategy of painful self-recognition has been used by Karolina Mełnicka in her show In the Block. Her works reflect nostalgia for childhood spent in a Plattenbau block and a yearning for modernity captured in glass skyscrapers of a present-day city. The artist creates sculptures that critically refer to visuality of a big modernist housing estate in old Wola district — Behind The Iron Gate Estate (Pl Za Żelazną Bramą) — formerly known as ”the bedroom of Wola”, and to the contemporary landscape of the neighbourhood, where sleep and rest have been replaced by labour and capital accumulation.
