A frightening naivety. Artist vs. community
A Guided Tour Conducted by Marek Sobczyk
We kindly invite to a guided tour conducted by a special guest.
This time, the meeting will be held by Marek Sobczyk, outstanding Polish painter, founder in 1983 (with other Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts artists: Ryszard Grzyb, Paweł Kowalewski, Jarosław Modzelewski, Włodzimierz Pawlak, and Ryszard Woźniak) of the artistic collective Gruppa. Gruppa was described as being ‘gaudy’, and its ‘wild’ practice was a protest not only against the bleak reality of the martial law, but also against the blandness of post avantgarde art that had just been entering a phase of insipid academism.
