Zachęta - National Gallery of Art Great Hall

The pictures above show Zachęta’s Great Hall during the exhibition “Polish Painting of the 21st Century” by Leon Tarasewicz. Zachęta — National Gallery of Art is a place that combines modernity with history. We are the oldest gallery to display contemporary art in Warsaw, dating back to 1860. Zachęta’s mission is to popularize and promote contemporary art. We display solo, group and thematic exhibitions that present the audience with the latest phenomena of note both in Polish and international art.

Spaces Deformed Marleen Sleeuwits

This project explores places which one seems unable to make any connection with. I construct and deform spaces in empty office buildings until an image comes into being that conveys this experience. My inspiration originates from specific in-between spaces such as the empty corners of office blocks, waiting areas at airports or the deserted corridors of hotels. Interiors where we often find ourselves but are shut off, as it were, from our consciousness. Previously I searched for and photographed a portrayal of such places; in recent years, in order to delve deeper into the experience of these locations, I have began to intervene with such like interiors. These transformations mostly resemble temporary installations or sculptures and make the experience of disconnection transmissible on a more psychological level.

The end result is a photographic interpretation of the space.
