Complex artistic-social project confronts the recipient with unique forms of narration used by artists in contemporary art. Presentation of the different attitudes and concepts integrates the environment of invited artists with critics, curators, theoreticians of art, collectors and cultural animators, volunteers.



Sylwia Galon will present the project Eskalacja [Escalation], which will be created specially for Żak. Escalation is the installation seemingly linear. Inside, however, there is a dynamic process of decay, a kind of helplessness that results in a deconstruction of work. Escalation combines different media, from sculpture and installation to site-specific object.
