Krystian recently arrived at Hucisko. He will stay at Tadeusz Kantor and Maria Stangret’s house for the next week. He is working on a new project, which we will present in the middle of November.

Krystian Truth Czaplicki

b. 1984 in Wrocław, lives and works in Wrocław, PL

So far, Krystian Truth Czaplicki has mainly created site specific ‘sculptural interventions’ in public spaces. Presently his works include mostly everyday life objects as well as articles evoking high-tech connotations, pedantic cleanliness, or high adrenaline or testosterone levels. Some of the works look like hospital equipment; they are white, made of metal, cold, sterile. They belong to an ordered, disciplined and distanced reality. However, they are ‘warmed up’ by infantile or crude decorations which testify to the feelings of anxiety; lack of security, acceptance, fulfillment; hidden desires; sensitivity; repressed aggression. Their titles refer to everyday life which is charged with extreme emotions and cool intellectual scheming at the same time.

Artists in Residence programme at Hucisko is realised in partnership
with the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, Culture.pl

The project is supported by the Małopolska voivodship
