In the framework of In Polonia, cioè dove? (In Poland… that is, where?) – a project dedicated to exploring the contemporary art scene in Poland conceived by Ania Jagiello and by Marcello Smarrelli, the Polish Institute in Rome and the Pastificio Cerere Foundation present the exhibition In Polonia per saziare l’amore (In Poland to satisfy love) curated by Ilaria Gianni and Luca Lo Pinto, held from 25 September to 28 November 2014 at the Foundation’s spaces.
In Polonia per saziare l’amore is structured in three episodes, each of which includes an exhibition and a live essay. The project, realized in collaboration with MOCAK, Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow, aims to explore the Polish Conceptual art and its influences on artists of later generations. Starting from the conceptual artist Edward Krasiński (Luck, 1925 – Warsaw, 2004), and moving through a portrait of the ’60s and ’70s with the photographs of Tadeusz Rolke (Warsaw, 1929), the project concludes with the first Italian exhibition dedicated to Krzysztof Niemczyk (Warsaw, 1938 – Krakow, 1994), self-taught painter, musician, writer and performer, and legendary exponent among the Polish artists.
