URGE / Lovers of Leftovers

„Lovers of Leftovers” is a group show on the natural need of harmony. Vasil Artamonov (CZE), Piotr Bosacki (PL), Jan Domicz (PL), Julie Chovin (FR/GE), Alex and John Gailla (SW/GE), Agnieszka Grodzińska (PL) and Miłosz Rygiel – Sańko create sophisticated objects from abandoned materials with some obsession or compulsion, yet there seems to be tenderness in the way they treat it. Perhaps it is a matter of composition. Simple as that. Repetition and lending a rhythm always ennobles. This, however, is certainly not a deliberate strategy. Sooner an imperative. And not so much a necessity to have things in order but a response to matt er, working with it, collaboration. Love? For forms, for a certain range of colours, for splatters. And a love affair with seeking redefinition. Resetting functions. Ignoring contexts, or highlighting and winking at them. Elegance and simplicity that does not obscure the story. Composition.
