DESCRIPTION:Gaze is a site-specific exhibition by Polish artist Marta Krześlak,
presented in an unconventional setting: an entire floor of a preserved
modernist office building from the 1960s in Anderlecht, Brussels. Conceived
in close dialogue with the architecture of the building, the project
unfolds through a series of kinetic installations that respond to its
spatial rhythm, atmosphere, and panoramic views overlooking the city and
the canal. Activated through mechanical systems or subtle interaction, the
works introduce movement as a central element of perception, encouraging
visitors to navigate the space through shifting visual and spatial
relationships. Rather than functioning as a neutral backdrop, the
surrounding cityscape becomes an integral component of the exhibition. The
expansive windows frame the urban landscape as a living scenography — a
continuously changing environment that alters the atmosphere of the works
throughout the day.
Developed with the support of Orangeries de Bierbais, gaze marks Marta
Krześlak’s first major public presentation in Belgium and forms part of
her ongoing artistic residency.
The opening of gaze will be accompanied by a live performance by Marta
Krześlak, unfolding within the exhibition space and activating the
installations in real time.
Moving through the floor of the modernist ASAR building, the artist will
explore the environment populated by kinetic objects and mechanisms. Using
light, shadow, small motors, and her own movement, she will gradually
activate elements of the installation, revealing shifting relationships
between the works, the architecture, and the surrounding cityscape.
The performance treats the space as a dynamic system rather than a fixed
exhibition setting. Light entering the building at sunset, reflections from
the panoramic windows, and the movement of the artist and the objects
create a sequence of changing situations. Through subtle gestures and
mechanical activation, the installations come into motion, transforming the
atmosphere of the space and inviting the audience to experience the works
as a continuously unfolding environment.
Marta Krześlak is a visual artist working with kinetic installations,
site-specific interventions, and collage-based video. She graduated from
the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź and also studied at the Academy of Fine
Arts in Warsaw and the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Lyon.
In 2023 she received her PhD from the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Her
practice explores movement, memory, and imagined landscapes, often using
found objects and mechanical systems to create spatial installations that
shift through time and perception. By setting objects in motion, she
creates environments where viewers experience changing relationships
between space, material, and atmosphere. Krześlak’s work has been
presented in solo and group exhibitions at institutions including Zachęta
Project Room, Gdańsk City Gallery, Industra Art in Brno, the Museum of
Modern Art in Warsaw, MOCA Hiroshima, and the Museum of Art in Łódź. She
has participated in international residencies such as Kooshk Residency in
Tehran, MeetFactory in Prague, and the International Studio &
Curatorial Program (ISCP) in New York. She lives and works between Poland
and Brussels.
