Twożywo: WYbór ObRAZ + Nihil Negativum

[...]

In the text accompanying the exhibition, and published in this catalogue, Stach Szabłowski, writing about Tworzyw's graphics inspired by the work of Emil Cioran, asks: "What are these graphics? Illustrations to Cioran? Acts of deconstruction of his literature? Affirmation or criticism of his thoughts? And what is Cioran's text itself? A hero, a theme, a material? Who is the author of this book? Is it still a Romanian thinker?

In the exhibition catalogue, we also publish two interviews with artists. Your people talk about communication, language, Cioran, consciousness, about their career and the choices associated with it. These two interesting conversations complement each other perfectly. I strongly encourage you to read them.

Reading Cioran is not the only project completed for the Atlas Sztuki. In our space, the artists returned to a project that had not been implemented before because of the fears of the organizers of their exhibition in Western Europe Nihil Negativum. Both projects are combined with each other, and the artists themselves in an interview with Leszek Jażdżewski say about them that: "Because thematically and climatically Nihil Negativum It fits Cioran, we use it as a complement. We had a well-thought-out project in the form of 26 murals, which was to be implemented in Łódź, but we could not find the right space - a long wall was needed. Almost every image contains a letter of the main password, they are arranged in a password. We came up with the idea to publish them in a book in which Nihil Negativum Will be in the form of an insert. It is a completely original addition, such an appendix to the whole. Different formally, but similar - also in black and I think it will suit Cioran".

I cordially invite you to visit the Atlas Sztuki and see the two latest projects of the winners of the "Politics" Passport in the category Visual arts From 2006. When awarding the prize, the weekly "Polityka" in justification of its verdict wrote that the laurel is for: "art combining word with image in an innovative way, for boldly entering with its works where art has not reached so far".
