EXHIBITION CLOSING | Jessica Ostrowicz „Remaining Without Returning“

On September 28 at 4:00 PM, we invite you to OP ENHEIM Gallery for the closing of the exhibition „Remaining Without Returning“ – the first solo presentation of the work of Jessica Ostrowicz, a British visual artist, in Poland.

◾When: 28.09.2025, 4:00 PM
◾Where: OP ENHEIM Gallery, 1st floor, Plac Solny 4, Wrocław
◾Free admission. Registration required: http://bit.ly/4nC3Zks
◾Language: Polish & English

The event will begin with an artist-and-curator-led tour of the exhibition at OP ENHEIM Gallery, during which Jessica Ostrowicz and Philine Pahnke will introduce the context of the works on display, speaking about the processes behind their creation, the materials used, and the themes that permeate the exhibition—memory, loss, heritage, and attempts to reconstruct what has been lost. This will be an opportunity to experience the installations and objects up close, as well as to uncover the personal layers of meaning present in the artist’s practice. Following the tour, we invite participants to join a panel discussion with invited experts. The conversation will focus on the question of trauma—both individual and collective—in relation to Ostrowicz’s work, her family history, and Jewish heritage. It will offer a space for deeper reflection on the significance of art as a medium for engaging with memory and difficult legacies.

The conversation will feature: Dr. Agnieszka Kłos (art critic, curator, and writer), Magdalena Andrzejewska (psychiatrist), and Dr. Łukasz Posłuszny (philosopher, Polish philologist, and sociologist).

___________________________________________
„Remaining Without Returning“, Jessica Ostrowicz’s first solo exhibition in Poland, is a personal and moving story about memory, trauma, loss, and attempts to reconstruct what has been destroyed and lost. The British sculptor, installation artist, and experimental filmmaker confronts the history of her own family as well as the collective experience of absence. Her work touches on personal history and intergenerational experiences – from the unspoken Jewish heritage of her grandfather, through the tragedy of exile, to contemporary reflections on belonging and the meaning of „home.“ The exhibition „Remaining Without Returning“ will run until September 28, 2025, at OP ENHEIM.
