Exhibition: "Julie Mehretu. Kairos / Hauntological Variations" at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw

JULIE MEHRETU. KAIROS / SPIRITUAL VARIATIONS
Tuesday–Thursday, 11:30 a.m.
A visit to Julie Mehretu’s exhibition is a unique opportunity to encounter the monumental, multi-layered paintings of one of the most important contemporary artists. In her work, the artist combines the language of abstraction with a profound reflection on history and today’s social issues. By superimposing city plans, archival maps, and highly expressive brushstrokes, Mehretu creates fascinating visual narratives about migration, conflict, and climate change. In doing so, she compels viewers to carefully explore and decipher the meanings hidden within the canvases.
Our workshops at the exhibition are an excellent opportunity to practice mindful observation and “reading” of images together. The exhibition brings together works from various stages of the artist’s career—from analytical diagrams, through drawings and watercolors on paper or Mylar, to her famous large-format canvases. All of them consist of overlapping layers: lines, planes, marks, undercoats, and ink.
A visit to the Museum will serve as a starting point for students to engage in creative experiments and construct their own stories about the world using a variety of media and techniques in our education room.
Topic: Architects of Gesture – How to Leave Your Mark? | Elementary schools, grades 1–6
Traces are signs of our presence and mysterious signatures. Together, we will consider whether images are simply traces accumulated on a canvas or a sheet of paper. What stories can we read from them? Can we replicate the hand gestures that created them?
We will view Julie Mehretu’s exhibition and see how the artist builds her works from lines, planes, and marks. Then we will go to the education room to answer an important question: what traces will be left when we start creating art? Through drawing experiments, we’ll try to capture the emotions associated with our visit to the Museum. We’ll explore the differences between soft pastels and sharp crayons. We’ll see which tool makes it easier for us to draw precisely, and which allows us to express greater emotion. We’ll decide whether we prefer to draw lines “freehand” or use a ruler and set square. Printouts of photos and architectural drawings will help us position our marks. Will your works feature straight lines, or rather fingerprints and chaotic scribbles? It’s entirely up to you!
