Cezary Poniatowski Wins 2025 Ermanno Casoli Prize
Cezary Poniatowski, a Polish artist born in 1987 in Olsztyn, has been awarded the 23rd Premio Ermanno Casoli, an initiative of the Fondazione Ermanno Casoli established in 2007. This accolade includes a commission for a site-specific installation at Elica Group Polska's facility in Jelcz-Laskowice, with curation by Marcello Smarrelli and Jakub Gawkowski. Poniatowski is known for converting everyday materials into sculptural works that comment on material culture. His upcoming project will delve into breath as both a physiological function and a metaphor for circulation, with a launch planned for June 2025. Smarrelli emphasized that the prize seeks to bridge art and business, encouraging new insights in Elica's operational regions to boost creativity and innovation.
