Krzysztof Franaszek — BLACKOUT

cooperation:

musical installation — Michał Białek, Tomasz Gos
text — Tomasz Stawiszyński
robotics — Piotr Cieślik

In his artistic practice, Krzysztof Franaszek is interested in the existence of man in the urbanized space of the city. Plastics and installations that refer to the hidden infrastructure in the urban agglomeration. He experiments with light, sounds, asphalt, tar, earth, metal, concrete, artificial artificials and 3D printing. His works are arranged in structural elements, with the specifications of the gallery’s architecture. Two artistic consequences, full of surprising encounters with forms based on industrial destruction. It can take on an ominous, catastrophic effect that also shows up in products and relates to our dependence on our planet’s natural resources. For an expert opinion on the previous performance and especially for this exhibition. Contrasting forms and abstract meanings, as well as generated sounds – the effect of artistic cooperation with the music of Michał Białek and Tomasz Gos.
