“Lesser-Silesian Suite 2023” — Joanna Zemanek and Grzegorz Sztwiertnia
The essential theme of the exhibition titled "Lesser-Sileasian Suite" is the border connecting (not dividing) the Silesian and Lesser Poland Voivodeships, which we located in the vicinity of the Soła River in the village of Łęki (the place of birth and adolescence of the author of the exhibition JZ) and the area of Cieszyn Silesia with the border on the Olza River (the place of birth and adolescence of the author of the exhibition GS).
‘Underground. Subterra incognita’

The Language of Geometry. The Longevity of Art
The exhibition weaves together several pertinent topics. The main focus is on geometry, which different artists use in different ways. There are 56 participants representing nine European countries as well as the USA and Canada. Another important issue – and one which is stated in the title – is the longevity of the art.
Dormant Trajectories — an exhibition of works by Alicja Bielawska
Alicja Bielawska's sculptures go wavy and straighten out. On the one hand, they outline the shape of the ceased activities, having accumulated all their earlier movement, with loops, slaloms, ripples and bends. On the other, they accommodate the potential for further manoeuvres.
