ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:<\/p>\n
Angelika Markul\u2019s exhibition is an interdisciplinary project combining visual arts, music and elements of theater.<\/p>\n
HUNTING FOR LOVE is a story about the search for affection, \u201chunting\u201d for love. As a continuation of the project \u201cO, Lay on Me,\u201d carried out last year at Leto Gallery in Warsaw, it will be the second of three planned exhibitions, in which the artist delves into the sphere of emotions and feelings, explores the various phases of love, and moves on the border of oneiric fantasy. The finale of the project will be the artist\u2019s exhibition at the MAC VAL Val-de-Marne Contemporary Art Museum, in Vitry-sur-Seine, in 2026.<\/p>\n
For the duration of the exhibition, the artist will turn the interior of Foksal Gallery into a theater, and put art recipients into the role of audience members. In the space of the stage delineated by simple architectural frames, there will be a composition of wax sculptures, seemingly abstract, referring to corporeality in a non-literal way. They will be presented against a background of the artist\u2019s wax paintings inspired by landscapes from Japanese woodcuts.<\/p>\n
Markul will animate the stage using typical theatrical means to give her sculptures their own dynamics, creating a choreographed scenography for \u201chunting for love,\u201d such as changing lights suggesting the changing times of day: dawn, the setting moon and the rising sun. The audience will view this \u201cspectacle\u201d from a certain distance, participating in the hunt from a safe space while remaining, as it were, in hiding.<\/p>\n
As in the case of the exhibition \u201cO, Lay on Me,\u201d here too the theatricality of the sculptural scene will be complemented by music composed especially for this occasion by Wojciech Pu\u015b, which will be played from a vinyl record during the exhibition.<\/p>\n

\nBIO<\/p>\n
Angelika Markul, born in 1977, is a visual artist, who lives and works in Paris. She graduated from the \u00c9cole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris (ENSBA). The artist has developed an individual and distinctive visual language, which she successfully translates into a wide range of media. In her work, she combines sculptures, paintings, films and installations in a poetic and disturbing way, referring to the threatening and unpredictable forces of nature unleashed by human actions. Her artistic practice is always rooted in an interest in unknown and dangerous places. Combining fact with fiction, and even science fiction, her projects have taken her to some of the world\u2019s most remote places (underwater monuments off the coast of Yonaguni, the melting glaciers of the Land of Fire, the desolate Atacama Desert, contaminated Chernobyl, and tsunami-ravaged Fukushima). Working mostly with natural materials (wax, leather, felt, light), Markul renders destructive forces that terrify and fascinate us at the same time, situating them outside cultural categories of good and evil. Markul is the recipient of numerous awards: Prix MAIF (2017), Prix COAL (2016), and SAM Art Project Prize (2013). Her first exhibition in Poland was Foksal Gallery (\u201cDream of the Fly,\u201d 2006). While her work is mainly exhibited abroad, she regularly returns to Poland.<\/p>\n
