Daniel Rycharski
Wolf's Hole
Jun 3 — Sep 6, 2026
Opening:
Wednesday, June 3
5 – 8 pm
Daniel Rycharski’s exhibition Wolf’s Hole at Gunia Nowik Gallery examines the mechanisms through which systems of power produce guilt, exclusion, and dependency. Developed through a year of weekly visits by the artist and Taras Gembik to a detention center, the exhibition emerges from direct encounters with institutional structures and the individuals shaped by them.
Moving between references to peasant history, prison culture, and contemporary forms of social control, Rycharski reflects on how legal, economic, and cultural systems define who is granted freedom and who becomes vulnerable to punishment. Rather than presenting imprisonment as an isolated condition, Wolf’s Hole reveals the subtle “micro-prisons” embedded within everyday life—structures of class, language, and power that shape contemporary experience long before any prison walls appear.
A text by Taras Gembik, curator and writer, will accompany the exhibition.
