Just a thing

Regional Museum in Stalowa Wola, Adam Mickiewicz Institut

30.9.–9.10.2011

The exhibition features the latest works – never shown before – of 10 Polish designers and design groups: Aze design, Beton, Paweł Grobelny, Krystian Kwieciński, Lapolka, Malafor, Bartosz Mucha, Piotr Stolarski, Arek Wolski and Łukasz Wysoczyński. Some of them, like Malafor or Paweł Grobelny, are already mature authors, well-known in Europe. Others, like Krystian Kwieciński and Łukasz Wysoczyński have only just started their artistic careers. All of them, however, are gifted designers whose works show amazing imagination and a sense of humour; they provoke, make us think about the role of design in our life, prove that simple questions can receive surprising answers.

The theme of JUST A THING gave the artists a chance for free interpretation. The curator set a task to design an ordinary object which would fit into a plywood box of standard dimensions of 75×75×75 cm. The only constraint that limited the designers was the size of the box.
