Stanisław Dróżdż (1939-2009) was a concrete poet and visual artist from Poland. Concrete poetry constituted the fundamental element and point of departure for his work. His poems then evolved into object-signs in a gallery space and later into series based on mathematical combination and permutation. The retrospective is accompanied by a music piece by Tadeusz Sudnik who composed it for one of Dróżdż’s works.

FROM TO
In today's social climate, the line between folk horror and urban myths is as thin and winding as the old streets of Prague. In our most recent historical memory, we have seen them re-enchanted by the decline in tourism and repopulated by lonely figures of stray night walkers and people excluded from society. The age-old idea of art as a mirror that allows us to see lived reality from a new perspective comes to mind, or perhaps a distorted glass surface can deform shapes and create illusions.
