Agnieszka Grodzińska - Second Shower 02.02 - 08.03.2018
The exhibition Second Shower invites the viewer to reflect about the idea of the art exhibition itself, the mechanisms of construction of an artwork’s meaning and the gallery´s role in this context.
Why are we invited to a Second Shower? Do premieres have any value to the viewer, do they help him build status or prestige?
What does it mean to take a second shower (literally) in regard to art? Is it possible to draw a line between what is an excess, an extravagance and the real necessity of comfort?
Or should this shower be understood as a dash of cold water, where setting the value of an artwork, both symbolic and material, reveals to be ambiguous and uncertain?
