sixth of March in the Gallery Maze ended up running from the seventeenth first solo exhibition in February Iga Gosiewski Fri ZDEJMBUTY. The installation consists of audio recordings and soft floor in a small room, where you placed the item - just what? - Cradle, rocking chair or a rocking horse?
In the first place one would expect a simple transfer from the perspective of the perception of the "mature" to "childish." Certainly, by reducing the sensations that can be traced back to ZDEJMBUTY, but these transfers is definitely not everything. First take off the shoes, they felt we enter into some privacy, we are guests, are also taken care of that after our visit was not visible traces to privacy, which get into, was sterile. Boots, which is deposited outside crossbows, dirty world, we leave before the entry - "zdejmbuty.
It might seem that the children perceive the surrounding area as a whole, not making the selection, do not distinguish themselves, their "self" from the rest. Gosiewska Iga gives us an image reduced to a few impressions. As if showing us one of the many opportunities to focus, looking only at a certain site of reality. Where did you know that it comes to children - childhood? Well, with us constantly babbling sounds of a small child, who probably still can not speak. From time to time give to hear the presence of someone else, like a parent who goes somewhere nearby. Child impressive cast, which concentrates on some fun, always something shura. Space (except of course the white walls and ceiling) is a one-color, and bare feet sink into the soft ground. The only other feature is the runner / poles in the same color as and floor.

If it be a simple transfer from the perspective of "this, here now" to "there, then" work would focus on how a small element of reality can capture the imagination of the child, swallow it. Pierce here but after a while unless something more substantial and appropriate intention Iga Gosiewski. How much concrete for us from childhood? How many remember? Impressions, feelings and some images of objects? What we now know about his childhood, how much compared to what we see then? Do not be a coincidence remains, residues vain, a bit of concrete, or may experience remains unclear about which we nadbudować great picture?
"Zdejmbuty" go to a small, claustrophobic space, which can overwhelm its limitation. How can modestly, minimalist? Shoes, along with the many issues left before entering, you are a "visitor". Touch the softness poskacz after it, think about the rocking horse, and maybe a rocking chair ... if you still remember?
Yes Bukowski described some of his earliest memories:
first thing I remember is that I was sitting at something underneath. It was a table saw table leg, the legs of several people and a piece of hanging drapes. At the table was a dark, cool sat there. (...) The sun fell on the carpet and on the feet of those few people. I liked that so illuminated. Human leg ciekawiły me - intrigued me hanging tablecloth, table leg, the sun.
