Konrad Krzyżanowski and Joanna Wierzbicka at bliss, Warsaw

The exhibition “Through Veins and Shadows” at bliss gallery in Warsaw pairs Konrad Krzyżanowski and Joanna Wierzbicka. Krzyżanowski’s paintings deconstruct memory through fragmented imagery, referencing William S. Burroughs and Dadaist collage. His work explores queerness, male vulnerability, and heteronormative critique. Wierzbicka’s sculptures use fabrics and organic materials to evoke body horror and embodied memory. New metal floor sculptures resemble skeletal and embryonic forms. Both artists examine the permeability of boundaries between interior/exterior, human/non-human, and subjective/collective time.
