Trade Gallery Launch - Artur Zmijewski

About

Trade presents a solo exhibition by Polish artist Artur Zmijewski, featuring his film 'Them' 2007, as shown at Documenta 12. 'Them' documents a series of exchanges from representatives of conflicting social groups; Young Jewish Liberals, a Catholic women's group, a mixture of leftists, and the Nationalist - All Polish Youth. Each group had been invited to create a banner that represented their idea of Poland. The amicable atmosphere turns volatile when the groups are asked to amend each other's banners. Recent solo exhibitions include; MOMA, New York, Polish Pavilion at the 51st Venice Biennale, Modern Art, Oxford and Cornerhouse, Manchester.
