Urszula Zajączkowska w (online) rozmowie z Centralą
Galerie VI cordially invites you to an online lecture by Urszula Zajączkowska entitled "In the human-free space, the wind moves inhibited only by plants or rocks" and a subsequent discussion. The event is part of the accompanying program for the Centrala study exhibition.
In a space free of humans, the movement of the wind is limited only by plants or rocks. The wind carries spores, seeds, and plant compounds, making it part of the process of building space. Movement also occurs underground. Water moves through small crevices under the influence of gravity and the relief of the land and its catchments. All of this is subjected to transformations of energy, typical for the actions of the living world, in order to suppress phenomena of entropy. How can architecture be an element that fits into processes of coexistence that have been taking place for billions of years? In her brief lecture, Urszula Zajączkowska will talk about a city full of structures made of artificial rocks, about water drainage, about the trees that grow there, and why it is difficult for each of them to live there. Is there architecture that does not interfere with natural phenomena, and why is that not the case?
Urszula Zajączkowska is a poet, botanist, and video artist. As a botanist (and associate professor at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences), she engages in research on the anatomy, biomechanics, aerodynamics, and movement of plants. She also graduated from the Film and Television Academy in Warsaw and is involved in creating short films. Her first poetry collection titled Atomy was published in 2014 by Zeszyty Poetyckie. It earned her a nomination for the Wrocław Silesius Poetry Prize 2015 in the debut of the year category and an award at the 11th National Literary Competition Złoty Środek Poezji 2015 for the best debut collection of 2014. In 2017, she published her second collection titled Minimum. At that time, she received the Kościelski Award and was nominated for the Wrocław Silesius Poetry Prize 2018 (book of the year) and for the Orpheus – K. I. Gałczyński prize for poetry 2018. In 2019, she published a collection of essays Patyki, badyle, for which she received the Gdynia Literary Prize 2020. Recently, her new poetry collection Piasek was published by the Wrocław publisher Warstwy (2020).
Following the lecture, there will be a discussion with Małgorzata Kuciewicz and Simon De Iacobis (Centrala).
The event will take place via the Zoom platform.
The event is organized with the support of the Polish Institute in Prague.
