OFLUXO

The exhibition is divided into two successive chapters.

1.
Rooms Rooms
The central element of the exhibition is a newly produced video „To my friend. Next room (Hotel Monterey)”. It consists of rooms (scenes) and a corridor (timeline). In a direct fashion, the video tells a story about creation of a utopian commune – its fate is closely intertwined with the history of the place, the economy and film theory. The typology of the apartment occupied by the protagonists turns out to be more durable than a need to change the function of this place and its forms of inhabitation.

2.
Enfilade Enfilade
All the objects visible in the first chapter are decompressed. They divide the gallery space into series of potential flats – or rather rooms and a corridor. Their rhythm is imposed by the Brzozowski Palace, where the gallery is located. After having been rebuilt in the 1960s, the building became primarily a series of communal apartments, now owned by a private owner. Exhibited objects are recreating the layout of the flats located one floor above the gallery space.
