The starting point for Maciek Cholewa’s exhibition is a postcard from Radzionków dating from 1914. The artist’s hometown was depicted as it was imagined one hundred years into the future. Today, we know that the future of both large and small cities will not be a techno-optimistic utopia. Cholewa examines how we construct futuristic visions. In his works, he shifts the field of imagination, breaking down the boundaries between the local and the global, speculation and humour. The exhibition weaves together many narratives, each of which opens up different possibilities for reading the relationship between what is and what is yet to come.
Within the evolving space of Kępa Mieszczańska, we are creating a series of meetings and workshops that weave art into everyday life. While accompanying the exhibitions presented at 66P, they offer an opportunity to experience them in a more personal and relaxed way
On August 29th, we invite you to the next educational workshop in the series "Kępa Mieszczańska: From Needs to Culture". The starting point for the meeting will be Maciek Cholewa’s exhibition Rumour Has It, which explores the gaze, imagination and the relationship between the local and the global. During the workshop, we will try to slow down and discover what happens when we allow ourselves simply to be with the works.
