Opening: 16.10.2020 r., 6:30 p.m.
\nDuration: 17.10-16.12.2020<\/p>\n
The title “Air Wants to Go” has been borrowed from the poem The Chess Player<\/i> by the American poet Howard Altmann, which describes human abandonment and transformation in relation to the world. It is also the title of one of Dominik Lejman\u2019s most recent works, a diptych in which Howard Altmann\u2019s verse seems to vanish. The presentation at OP ENHEIM will feature five multi-element works by the award-winning Polish artist, which will be accompanied by a projection on the fa\u00e7ade during the first three evenings of the exhibition.<\/p>\n
Dominik Lejman\u2019s art is based on the phenomenology of time, the entanglement of duration and repetition. The world depicted in his painting reveals a different world of duration. By combining abstract, geometric painting with the temporary video projection, Lejman enriches his painting with a narrative \u2013 a fabric and texts, \u201cfences\u201d of doubt between revelation and rejection, elation and fall, Elysium and prison. The artist\u2019s aesthetics of painting, coupled with the mechanisation of projection reminiscent of Marcel Duchamp, enable the interpenetration of that which is visible and that which is not, duplications and palimpsest-like overlays, the appearance and disappearance of bodies, ghastly exposures and covers. To quote Samuel Beckett, who is perceived by the artist as a kindred spirit, Lejman\u2019s practice could be termed “art of confinement”: An endless revelation, veil after veil, layer upon layer of imperfect transparency, a revelation towards the unrevealable, nothing, the thing once more<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Lejman's art is based on the phenomenology of time, duration and repetition. The artist combines textiles and texts, the “fences” of doubt between disclosure and rejection, elation and fall, Elysium and prison. The name of the exhibition “Air Wants to Go” comes from a line borrowed from the poem “The Chess Player” by the American poet Howard Altmann – a poem about the abandonment and transformation of man in relation to the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3987,"parent":607,"menu_order":93,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3953","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/openheim.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/openheim.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/openheim.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openheim.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openheim.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3953"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/openheim.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3953\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7524,"href":"https:\/\/openheim.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3953\/revisions\/7524"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openheim.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/607"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openheim.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/openheim.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
