They are also required to wear masks covering their nose and mouth as well as disinfect their hands with a sanitizer provided by the Gallery (the dispenser is to be found at the entrance). No more than 5 persons may be viewing the exhibition simultaneously.
Piekary Gallery and 9/11 Art Space Foundation are pleased to present Michał Bugalski’s solo exhibition entitled Not Difficult at All, featuring photographs by the artist. The show spans a selection of works from the eponymous series.
“The title of the project, Not Difficult at All, draws on the two first editions of the book by Adam Słodowy. The third and later editions of the cult volume were published as The Great Fun of DIY. This was the book I happened to come across as a child. Even as early, the suggested designs seemed archaic but still fascinating. The models it showed fired the imagination but would remain no more than a plan for the future… until now.
The series presented here sets out from creating one of the structures described in the book; the process brought back images from memory and inspired subsequent models, no longer related to Słodowy’s book. However, as the work progressed I noticed a tension arise between the ideas that had become obscured and the last two years of my life, so tried to tell its story.”
Michał Bugalski
Michał Bugalski (born 1985). The artist graduated in Photography at the University of Arts in Poznań, where he now works as assistant professor at the Photography Studio IV. Winner of the first prize at the Young Art Biennial Rybie Oko 6 (2011).
