𝗢𝗣_𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗦 | 𝗣.𝗢𝗦𝗧: 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘂𝘀𝘇 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗼́𝗯𝘀𝗸𝗶

On 14 January 2026 at 6:00 pm, we invite you to an artits talk accompanying the exhibition P.OST, currently on view until the end of January at the Kunstverein am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz in Berlin. During the meeting, artist Mateusz Choróbski will be joined by curators Chiara Valci Mazzara and Susanne Prinz to discuss the exhibition, its conceptual framework, and the artistic processes behind it.

The conversation will offer a closer look at the ideas and processes shaping the exhibition and invite audiences to reflect on how space, time, and perception intersect in Choróbski’s artistic practice, in the context of his upcoming exhibition at OP ENHEIM.

Exhibition P.OST brings together sound, light, video, and sculptural elements as tools for investigating memory, transformation, and the shifting meanings of place. The exhibition explores the tension between nostalgia and memory, considering how the past is recalled, altered, or reactivated within the present.

The discussion will also address the role of light and time in Choróbski’s artistic practice. Through the use of fused glass, recorded light, and sound-based works, the artist creates spatial situations that register atmospheric change and bodily presence, while extending the exhibition beyond the gallery space and into the surrounding urban environment.

The conversation will offer a closer look at the ideas and processes shaping P.OST and invite audiences to reflect on how space, time, and perception intersect in Choróbski’s work, in the context of his upcoming exhibition at OP ENHEIM.

𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘂𝘀𝘇 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗼́𝗯𝘀𝗸𝗶 is a multidisciplinary artist who graduated from the University of the Arts in Poznań and the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. His practice encompasses site-specific works in public space and spans media such as video, installation, performance, sound, and sculpture.

Choróbski’s work explores the human condition—its fragility and physicality—confronted with space understood not only architecturally, but also socially and economically. Human bodies and architecture are treated on equal terms, often examined in states of crisis, decomposition, or vulnerability. Recurring motifs in his practice include debt, decay, and the breakdown of once-modern architectural structures.

Selected solo exhibitions include: H.aven, Éva Kahán Foundation, Vienna (2024) and Budapest (2025); Hide and Seek, Fabbrica del Vapore, Milan (2023); Czego nie zrobili barbarzyńcy, GSW Opole (2021); Fondazione Nicola Del Roscio, Rome (2019). Selected group exhibitions include: Wystawa niestała 4 x kolekcja, Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw (2025); Es-senze, Museo di Palazzo Mocenigo, Venice (2022); Blocks, RISO Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, Palermo (2021); Art. Club, Villa Medici, Rome (2019); Autogestión, Joan Miró Foundation, Barcelona (2017).
