Krystyna Gay-Kutschenreiter will present an exhibition summing up her decades-long body of work. “Fluctuations” is an exhibition of ceramic sculptures that artistically express the artist’s personality and her attitude towards ceramics and clay.
The artist worked as an educator for 30 years, training ceramic professionals. She received the Gold Cross of Merit for this work. From 1990 to 2005, she served as artistic commissioner of the Ceramic and Sculpture Plein-Air Workshops in Bolesławiec, which, on her initiative and under her direction, evolved into international creative meetings in the mid-1990s. During this period, she curated more than 50 exhibitions in Poland and abroad. In 1999, she was awarded the Gold Badge of the Association of Polish Artists for directing the plein-air workshops.
She has repeatedly presented her artistic works at solo exhibitions in Bolesławiec, Jelenia Góra, Świdnica, Zgorzelec, Gorzów Wielkopolski, Szczecin and Kraków, as well as in Zabierzów, Chorzów and Myślenice. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions, both national and international—in Belarus, Germany (in Dresden, Pirna, Siegburg, Waldenburg, Markersdorf and Munich), Austria, Sweden and the Czech Republic (in Prague, Česky’m Krumlov and Česká Lípa). Her works are held in the collections of the National Museum in Wrocław and Poznań, the Upper Silesian Museum in Bytom, the Museum of Ceramics in Bolesławiec, BWA in Jelenia Góra, Kunstfarum Paristen in Vienna, and private collections in Poland and abroad.
The opening will take place on Saturday, 6 November, at 6:00 p.m. at the Ceramics Gallery at BOK-MCC.
