IMPORT EXPORT & ILENIA are excited to present works by Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili & Iris Touliatou as part of “Constellations” gallery sharing initiative in Warsaw.

Verging on the notion of glitch, archival fever, and sentimentalism, the joint presentation brings together Touliatou’s media and light installations with a selection of Alexi-Meskhishvili’s photography-based works.

Opening: Friday, 11 April 2025, 6 - 8 PM

On view until 24 May.

IMPORT EXPORT & Galerie Mehdi Chouakri are excited to present ‘Holding Tight’ - a collaborative exhibition between Lena Marie Emrich and Estate Charlotte Posenenske - in Warsaw.

‘Holding Tight’ is the fruit of Emrich’s vigorous study of the Berlin-based archive and her homage to the late Minimalist Posenenske.

Engaged in systemic exploration of space and inviting visitor participation, Emrich and Posenenske’s sculptural practices are rigorous yet playful.

Presented alongside the iconic cardboard DW series and red metal B series by Posenenske, Emrich’s sculptures of engraved airplane windows and tram handles are simultaneously occurrences of sculpture and poetry –– activating space with tender gestures and emotive language. While following Posenenske’s principles, Emrich gives Minimalism a Millennial lift.

‘Holding Tight’ opens on Friday 11 April at IMPORT EXPORT, Warsaw, 6 - 8 PM.

Franciszka Themerson, Insect Picture, 1972

”(…)The process of unification began. Counter-balanced by their environment, they became abstractions of emotions, meanings and situations. Every picture now carried within its space the geometry of conflict built of two kinds of abstractions – hence the name: bi-abstract pictures. One – an abstraction of this strange universe in which we find ourselves trapped, expressed by space arrangements, intersecting surfaces, geometrical shapes, and two – an abstraction of what we see and know about the human body, human emotions, human behaviour. I had finally found the visual language I had been looking for to explore and express reality as I experience it. A bi-abstract language. (…)

A critic once called my bi-abstract pictures ‘white modern cave paintings’. I liked the flattering comparison. I liked it still more when I went, a few months later, to see the caves at Lascaux, and saw the huge, heavy, magnificent, more-than-alive cows and bulls, a strange horse with swift, delicate legs and a tender muzzle, all drawn or incised in the uneven stone surface of the natural geometry of the looming walls and ceiling of the cave.  I said: more-than-alive. It was like having known that horse when it was  born and stumbling on its awkward legs, and like seeing it die in the future. It was like the essence of life itself, caught by the man who made the pictures 20,000 years ago. Or perhaps it was not a man? I mean – it might have been a woman, might it not?” — excerpt from ‘Bi-Abstract  Pictures’ in Art News and Review, vol.x, no.16, August 1958

“𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘯” is a sci-fi documentary exploring the dark side of solar geoengineering: the deliberate, large-scale modification of the Earth’s climate systems by manipulating the influence of the sun. Set globally across the Louisiana Bayou to the Arctic Circle, Wyoming to Gstaad, and from the Great Barrier Reef of Australia to the palm oil plantations of Indonesia, this work examines geoengineering proposals that are currently undergoing research and development in both the United States and Europe, as well as current evolutions in climate modeling and digital twin technology.

Mia Dudek, Fruiting Body XV 🍄

Coming soon to Centre of Contemporary Art Zamek Ujazdowski and „My Eyes Bees Deceive” curated by Kamila Bondar

🍄🐚💣

“On a formal level, her photographic works of Fruiting Bodies (2023) focus on the arrangement, referring to the almost mathematical structures in which nature
repeats itself. What one sees with the eyes is the seemingly uncontrollable growing of organisms, its exponential growth.

These mushrooms are seemingly unflattering, dangerously formed, while at the same time shining extraterrestrially, almost erotic. It is their pale and gentle coloring that keeps the image from comparing their forceful growth to a catastrophic bomb. The mushroom represents the fine line between health and death, a timeless and lingering danger” — excerpt from ‘What Grows’ by

Franciszka Themerson, Mother and Child (from Traces of Living), 1961

“Franciszka Themerson does not just make lines on a sheet of paper: she enters into collaboration - or should I say conspiracy - with the line, and waits to see what the result will be. The result is an extraordinary fertility of invention, because she seems free of the anxiety to invent which possession (…)”

* excerpt from Edward Lucie-Smith’s preface for Traces of Living the 1969 anthology of drawings by Franciszka Themerson

Franciszka Themerson: Looking at the world with lines will be on view until 5 April.

The solo exhibition of the artist’s work was prepared in collaboration with Themerson Estate.
