WARNING! BAD DOG [EXHIBITION BY MONIKA DROŻYŃSKA, LAUREATE OF THE WROCŁAW DRAWING TRIENNIAL 2019]
Apr 7 - Jun 6 2022
Pl. Strzegomski 2
The works were made using the technique of hand embroidery on fabric. Each is an “essay” written with words, characters and images. The artist uses many alphabets: Georgian, Hebrew or Cyrillic, Morse code and Braille, mixes phrases written in different languages: Polish, Ukrainian, German, English or Afrikaans, uses iconography taken from sign language, road and evacuation signs, iconography of political systems, logos of corporations and social movements, refers to the symbolism of prison tattoos or graphic interpretations of star constellations.
Monika Drożyńska’s embroideries are a record of the causes and effects of migration, emigration, one-way travel, and the role language plays in this story. In a nutshell – why we keep rushing somewhere and what comes out of it.
Stay tuned!
The project is a continuation of the exhibition “Dużo dobre/ Дуже добре” (Much Good), presented at the Foksal Gallery in the summer of 2021.
