OPENING OF EXHIBITION: “PINIAK PRZEMYSLAW.: HIT WHERE IT HURTS” PERFORMATIVE READING

It’s something between a drama, stand-up comedy, and a radio play. Piniak and Sandra discuss the artistic and romantic failures of Agata, the “monster from Łazarz.” Mr. Mucha is tormented by erotic dreams. The Pope prints screenshots from Dowbor. Non-women in tight tracksuits turn heads, only to break up via text message later. The characters mimic, transform, and merge with one another, constantly reminding us of the conventionality of the situation. They gossip about puffed rice cones and sculptures made of meatless kabanos sausages, so that sadness doesn’t consume them. In Poznań’s Łazarz district and in a meadow, in Watyk’n and on the sugary surface of Planet Much—they keep searching for love, over and over. They don’t give up. “They suffer, but they dance.”

The people with whom Piniak created films, plays, performances, and other artistic projects will jointly interpret a text written by the artist in 2020. The event takes the form of a performative reading with elements of singing and choreography, as well as music composed especially for this occasion.
