The solo exhibition of Magdalena Abakanowicz<\/strong> (1930, Falenty), curated by Angela Vettese<\/strong>, brings together a selected group of large-scale works created over fifty years by the Polish artist, showcasing her versatility in the use of materials \u2013 corten steel, bronze, aluminum, rope, yarns, and tangles of jute fabrics \u2013 and in depicting the human condition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Independent of any tradition, it is very difficult\u2014if not impossible\u2014to classify Magdalena Abakanowicz\u2019s work<\/strong> within a single expressive movement. Her artistic research nonetheless shows points of contact with the intentional anti-form tendency and has timely addressed themes of femininity and eroticism. Throughout her career, she has operated in complete freedom from rules. What remains constant in every phase of her creative process are the exhibitions, conceived as spaces of experience and places where a synthesis of fears, delights, wonders, protections, solitude, and other fundamental emotions can emerge\u2014just as in the succession of events in human existence.<\/p>\n

Space to experience<\/strong><\/em>, a term dear to her\u2014which gives the exhibition its title\u2014refers to spaces to be experienced with all the senses. For Magdalena Abakanowicz, the work is the exhibition as a whole<\/strong>, an installation made using various techniques but aimed at creating an atmosphere of general unease, a sense of wonder for life, and at the same time the inextricable difficulty of living.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue published by the Foundation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t
