Teresa and Andrzej Wełmiński

Christmas Not Just Once a Year
6 II - 7 V 2024
curator: Robert Domżalski

***

Teresa and Andrzej Wełmiński in 'Christmas Not Just Once a Year' refer to a story by Heinrich Boll from 1951. An inconspicuous satire in which a Christmas tree demands Christmas every day hides story of moral decay and mental problems. Boll inspired the Wełmińskis to create an ambiguous game with history, present and identity.

The Starmach Gallery will present a scenographic installation that creates the illusion of being inside a Christmas postcard from the early 20th century. The fable world of the eternal Christmas Eve atmosphere has its dark sides - it is a state of suspension in which we will never see the finale.
