The curatorial concept is based on the juxtaposition of works by Wanda Gołkowska (1925–2013) and Marlena Kudlicka (b. 1973), who didn’t previously have an opportunity to come into direct contact as artists.
About
Looking at their works created in different times and environments, points of contact can be found that initiate an artistic dialogue between both of them. The joint exhibition opens up new possibilities of interpretation, showing the sources of Kudlicka’s practice as well as the constant topicality of Gołkowska’s oeuvre.
Wrocław Contemporary Museum has become the link between Gołkowska and Kudlicka, prompting an analysis of the artists’ presence in the history and collection of the institution and a closer look at their artistic practice.
Marlena Kudlicka (b. 1973) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań under Jarosław Kozłowski. She is associated with Berlin. Her activities are rooted in conceptual art.
Wanda Gołkowska (1925–2013) was one of the first students of the State Higher School of Fine Arts in Wrocław; she lived and worked in this city. After graduation, she began to move away from traditional painting towards spatial forms and conceptual art, but she never completely abandoned painting and drawing. Instead, she treated them as a field of experimentation.
