Weekend in Lublin – part 5

The trip to Lublin also included a visit to the studio of artist Magdalena Franczak, which is located in the Słowackiego housing estate designed by Oskar and Zofia Hansen in the early 1960s. The artist told us about her recent and current projects, the history of choosing the place for her studio and allowed us to look at her works up close. The unusual afternoon culminated in a walk around the estate of the famous architects. Magdalena Franczak (born in 1978) – an interdisciplinary artist using various media: painting, drawing, photography, performance. Creates objects and works with site-specific space. She engages in dialogues with theatre, designing costumes and set designs. In his artistic practice, he tries to redefine the existing order, giving forms new meanings. By merging forms taken out of reality, he creates a story about a utopian world in which each voice can resound with equal force without drowning out the other.
