This September, we are pleased to feature Eternal Machine, a second solo exhibition by Iza Tarasewicz at Gunia Nowik Gallery, as part of the Warsaw Gallery Weekend 2024. The show delves into the intricate interplay between human identity, technology, and environmental awareness.
Amid rising social fragmentation and market-driven encroachments on life, Eternal Machine prompts a vital reassessment of the individual 'self' within a mosaic of collective histories, experiences, and desires. As global challenges like climate change, the rise of fascism, and extreme individualism persist,
Tarasewicz's work encourages a reimagining of our connections to an increasingly privatized and divided world. Hand-dyed plant fibers, organic pigments, steel, brass, silicone – Eternal Machine merges natural and engineered elements to reflect the evolving integration of machines, humans, and technologies. Through themes like 'Agropunk' and 'Technopunk', the exhibition paints a narrative of community dissolution and potential reconstruction. It invites to reconsider the notion of shared space of today’s worldand redefinition of human limits and our interactions with both animate and inanimate surroundings.
