Marta Ziółek. Wound
Performance

Zachęta – National Gallery of Art
admission with a ticket

The performance will feature nudity and loud noises.

The performance Wound arises from the affective relationship with Zachęta — its collection, archive and the current exhibition Tears of Joy — and concerns the mediation of artworks, the transmission of their material un/presence through the receptive performing body. By setting in motion the silent vibration of the selected works, Wound enters into a dialogue with the traces of censorship, destruction, and rejection present in them, as well as their abject, triumphant corporeality. Through voicing and embodiment, Wound touches the institution’s history differently: by examining the relational nature of bodies of art, their sensual and unstable boundaries, the dialectics of the inside and the outside, of what is present and what is hidden, lost, rejected. Wound is a rehabilitation and embodiment that simultaneously reconciles with loss and does not allow forgetting about the scar.
