Poelzig VS. Poelzig
Opening: April 30, 2010, 4-8pm
GALLERY WEEKEND BERLIN
As part of Gallery Weekend, gallery ŻAK | BRANICKA takes great pleasure in presenting Paweł Książek’s Poelzig VS. Poelzig. This is the second exhibition of the artist’s work, following Silent Utopia at Art Basel Statements 2009, and is based on ideas connecting cinema produced during the inter war years and modernist architecture.
Paweł Książek is one of the most interesting contemporary Polish painters. His interests lie in the roots of modernism. On the basis of archival photographs and film, Książek finds common motifs for seemingly disparate themes, which he in turn connects in a collage-like-way on canvas.
