Nietota: (The What-is-Not)
The tradition of the visual has often overlapped with the inexpressible, and the confrontation was sealed by the 鈥渁narrative鈥� modernist art.
The title of the exhibition, which in Polish triggers association with dumbness or infant babble, refers to Tadeusz Mici艅ski鈥檚 esoteric work from 1910 鈥� Nietota. The Mystic Book of the Tatra Mountains. The author used a word which commonly described lepidodendrons, an extinct genus of tree-like plants from 300 million years ago. As folk superstition had it, especially in the Carpathian Mountains, they possessed magical powers.
The exhibition will feature paintings, videos, objects and installations referring to the visual aspect of hermetic and mystical practices.
