Double Q Gallery is pleased to present a duo exhibition by Polish multidisciplinary artist Zuza Golińska and Wanda Czełkowska, who was one of the most important figures in Polish avant-garde art. The exhibition is scheduled to open in December 2023.

Polish multidisciplinary artist Zuza Golińska (b. 1990) works primarily with sculpture and installation to create robust, spatial interventions that investigate the relationship between humans, public space, and architecture. Her practice is rooted in a variety of visual references from a kind of raw, brutalist post-industrial materiality to dystopian science fiction and pre-modernism. Inspired by the radical Arte Povera movement of the 1970s, her materials are often chosen as symbolic elements of gendered socio-political narrative around labour and industry, such as recycled steel from a shipyard in her hometown of Gdańsk.

Wanda Czełkowska (1930–2021) is one of the most important figures in Polish avant-garde art, yet her oeuvre has only recently begun to attract the attention of the international canon of art history. Her work – which remains largely unknown outside Poland unlike that of her contemporaries Alina Szapocznikow and Magdalena Abakanowicz – encompasses a variety of mediums: she produced sculptures, installations, paintings, drawings, and photographs, although the elimination of the boundaries between different artistic forms and mediums was a characteristic feature of her work.
