Mamidło - 10.05. – 26.05. 2007,
Lilit - 31.05. – 15.06.2007,
Św. Bernadetta - 19.06. – 30.06.2007.
The presentation refers to women position in the society, the scope of her privileges, the function directed by culture habits, and her responsibilities. In the first part of the exhibition, there are men speaking, they present the masculine tradition. Woman is hown as she was seen by her father, husband and brother.
The second section of the show - "Lilith" - named after ancient rebellious female demon - completely changes the perspective. It's a voice of women artists with a radical opinion about their femininity and its socialcultural context. Those are the works of young as well as older artists, such as: Anna Baumgart, Dorota Chilińska, Katarzyna Górna, Izabella Gustowska, Zuzanna Janin, Katarzyna Kozyra, Natalia Lach-Lachowicz, Malgorzata Markiewicz, Anna Orlikowska, Aleksandra Polisiewicz, Marta Pszonak, Aleksandra Ska, Anna Syczewska and Agata Zbylut. This part of the exhibition poses question: what is the image of a woman, constructed by those polish female artists, which clearly reject the previous male, but also catholic-patriarchal and statecontrolled point of view, fighting even with men or, as Kozyra, ridicule Nietzsche - this frenzied critic of feminism. Is this image real and fair this time or is it false again?
The third act of the show - "St. Bernadette" - with Hubert Czerepok, Marcin Berdyszak, Izabella Gustowska, Zuzanna Janin, Andrzej Rózycki, Leszek Knaflewski, Kamil Kuskowski, Malgorzata Markiewicz, Agata Michowska, Marta Pszonak, Wawrzek Sawicki, Aleksandra Ska, Ryszard Wozniak, Agata Zbylut is an attempt to reconcile the opposed stands. This presentation focuses on the phenomenon of the miracle of St. Bernadette, whose body since 1879 resists to decompose, and stays fresh and beautiful till the present day. This spectacular Nature's masterpiece, created only for the manifestation of Beauty and Loftiness, free from any idolatric ideology, remains an evidence of delaying death and destruction.
