Justyna Adamczyk. The past does not pass away, because it is eternally created anew

20.05—28.08.2022
start at 18:30

An individual exhibition of Justyna Adamczyk, a sculptor who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław. It will be the artist's first solo exhibition in Wrocław after many years, and she returns with a project summarising her long-standing struggle with artistic matter and her own demons. It will be an attempt to take a step forward, by conjuring traumas into magical totems, impersonal portraits or universalisation – all this preserved in the aesthetics of ugliness. The exhibition will also include works made in NFT technique, which by its very nature will constitute a modern metaphor of universality and globalisation of the themes taken up by the artist.

Lewandowska / Marcjasz / Tofan. Intimate rituals

04.03—30.04.2022

An exhibition of three young, progressive female artists from Wroclaw, whose creative attitudes were considered the most interesting among the submissions within the OP ENHEIM programme OP_Young. The exhibition will be a presentation of completely new works dealing with three thematic areas, characteristic for each of the artists. These will be: ecology, (un)hospitality, and self-identity.

Slavs and Tatars. LONG LVIVE LVIV. СЛАВА ЗА БРЕСЛАВА

15.10—29.01.2022
start at 18:30

The first solo exhibition in Wrocław of one of the world's most recognisable artistic collectives – Slavs and Tatars. In OP ENHEIM we will see a project which takes into account the historical and metaphorical context of our seat, the former Oppenheim Tenement House, as well as the multicultural character of Wrocław/Breslau and its troubled history – also the history of Wrocław-Lviv-German resettlement, or the issue of contemporary migration.

Angelika Markul. Time formula

02.07—26.09.2021
start at 18:30
end at 20:30

Angelika Markul very consistently develops the poetics of dreams to explore those dimensions of time that elude both ordinary experience and scientific concepts. He works out his own formula, in which the time of sleep and deep time become dimensions of the present, allowing certain symbolic reversals to take place. It does so through its own method of witnessing.

Air Wants to Go. Dominik Lejman

17.10—23.12.2020
start at 13:00
end at 19:00

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.

OP_Young | Krzyżanowska, Piskorska, Jakubowicz

17.09—06.10.2020

The second presentation of works by Laureates and Laureates of the OP_Young program, created as a reaction to the situation of young artists during the Covid-19 pandemic. Liliana Piskorska, researching the position of the Other in society, Jakub Jakubowicz bringing back the memory of the history of the villages of Wólka and Nikita Krzyżanowska, expressing her rebellion in the form of graffiti full of dynamics and expression characteristic of gesture painting.

OP_Young | Oktawian Jurczykowski

20.08—06.09.2021

The first presentation of works by Laureates of the OP_Young program. In his series of photographs, Oktawian Jurczykowski analyzes the ambivalent figure of Józef Piłsudski. Oscillating between expression and controversy, the artist asks important questions about the cult of the individual and how it translates into the current political situation in Poland. Installations immersed in sensual red bring to mind the times of communism and social unrest.

Asana Fujikawa & David Hockney. Figures of the Floating World

01.02—30.08.2020

Kuratorka Matilda Felix łączy akwaforty Davida Hockneya z serii „Six Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm” z 1969 roku z baśniowo-mitologicznymi, delikatnymi rzeźbami młodej japońskiej artystki, Asany Fujikawy. Tytuł wystawy odnosi się do tradycyjnych japońskich ilustracji „ukiyo-e” – obrazów ulotnego świata, których tematami są sceny życia codziennego. Przepływający świat kondensuje się w tych obrazach w postaci bezstronnie przedstawionej refleksji na temat tego, co czyni nas faktycznie ludźmi.

DIE SAMMLUNG_____OP ENHEIM / ABIS

12.10—31.12.2019

Going beyond the framework of the museum narrative, the exhibition entitled “DIE SAMMLUNG” guides viewers towards a peaceful journey through works of German, Polish and American art, bearing in mind, however, these important additions to English, Italian and Belgian works. The ABIS collection is a group of art objects developed and introduced by a recognized collector – Dr. Erich Marx. “DIE SAMMLUNG” is also a pretext to start a discussion about the essence of collecting.

Men like Gods | TIFF Festival 2019

04.09—29.09.2019

The exhibition, part of the TIFF Festival // Worlds' Main Programme, answers the question of how we, as a human species, influence the planet we live with with other species. The eternal problem of mankind has been the inability to assume a perspective other than our own. Posthumanism, or naturocentrism, is fresh ideas and the artists invited to OP ENEHIM focused their exploration on them.

Albert Serra. Roi Soleil | 19. New Horizons IFF

26.07—04.08.2019

Albert Serra, a Catalan director, in a grotesque way, wants to bring us closer to the agony of Louis XIV, to strip the envelope of luxury and seriousness from the idol of European civilization. “Roi Soleil” combines elements of cinematography, performance and artistic installation, intertwining with each other both in the process of creating a work and its exhibition. The film was shown in world-class galleries, incl. at Tate Modern in London and at Fundació Antoni Tàpies.

Mirosław Bałka 1/1/1/1/1

20.10—31.01.2019

Mirosław Bałka's composition, opening the activity of the OP ENHEIM gallery, has a very special character. It is composed of four neon signs that form the word homeland in Polish, German, Hebrew and Latin. It is the most economical commentary on the history of a house in the city center, and at the same time an impulse for an in-depth reflection on the occasional nature of a concept that appears so often in everyday language.

Hubert Czerepok. Everthing is darkness

20.12—15.02.2017

In keeping with the values that are close to us for the duration of the reconstruction, we gave Hubert Czerepok the opportunity to tell a story related to the local Jewish community. The project “memory of the future” is both discovering – often deliberately – forgotten historical facts, and asking questions about the relationship between power, religion and violence.
