ZBIGNIEW GOSTOMSKI. IT BEGINS IN WROCŁAW

2.9.11–1.12.11

Exhibition, Archive

After over forty years Zbigniew Gostomski returns to Wrocław with an exhibition under the historic title “It Begins in Wrocław”. Zbigniew Gostomski creates his exhibition basing on syncretism of all these contexts, choosing the most simple form of articulation. He uses geometric figures, introducing different solutions only when he finds them necessary, for example in the Babel Tower drawing.
