Everyone painted himself as he wanted, but trying to get a good whole. Freedom of the individual and harmonious cooperation. So much for the manifesto sent by the KwieKulik duet. In it, they laid out not only the philosophy of creating the award distinguished in the 60th anniversary of the October Revolution, a large-format canvas. They also proposed a utopian vision of the political system in which they lived and created. October 77 was created by six artists. Some of them grew up together, others have known each other since their youth. Six people, three couples and at least that much vision of art. One of them dominates the exhibition, slightly interlaced with another - the one in which the shadow was created.
Teresa Gierzyńska. The main character of the exhibition. Sculptress. Author of delicate and ironic reprints exploring the iconosphere of pop-culture of the '70s. The creator of an intimate journal - existential, economical photographs that over time became the main field of her formal experiments. Edward Dwurnik. The painter - as Przemysław Kwiek wrote in 1969 - "the poetics of small Polish towns and everyday human dramas". The journey of their lives subordinated to creative work.
The rhythm of her art set the fiction and formal nuances of the exhibition. Sometimes personal life enters the canvases and the lenses. During the open air, she becomes the heroine of one of the still lifes. While working on public performance, he is reduced to the role of a model. Even in this situation, He is the master of typification, She psychology of the form. So much on the first and second plan. In the background there is a story about artistic life and difficult existence in contemporary Poland.
The exhibition also shows the spectrum of artistic art. It includes both traditional art media (painting, drawing, sculpture, photography), as well as experiments with material, a form filtered by the then dominant conceptualism and the influence of Oskar Hansen's theory. Some propose a vision of the function of art in society. Others are his once idealized, once realistic description. To this numerous documentation of social-artistic situations. Finally, the exhibition - lesser-known works - is a story about how artists saw themselves.
Borrowed from Stanisław Czycz and Andrzej Barański, the title is to refer to the atmosphere of an ordinary town saturated with summer sun and the smell of grasses. Until youth, when we experience different things for the first time, we are bold and we are not afraid to think idealistically.
