For his third collaboration with the gallery\u00a0Harlan Levey Projects<\/a>,\u00a0Marcin DUDEK<\/a>\u00a0presents\u00a0Steps and Marches<\/em><\/strong>, a project which takes the same autobiographical point of departure as his 2013 exhibition entitled 'Too Close for Comfort’. This two-part exhibition \u2013 at Harlan Levey Projects in Brussels followed by\u00a0Edel Assanti<\/a>\u00a0in London \u2013 begins by evoking the author\u2019s adolescence as a member of the Cracovia football club. Miniature photographs taken from Dudek\u2019s personal archives depict a sequence of events which led to violent riots in the stadium. The intimate scale of these images is a reference to the complex relationship which the artist has with his past, over the course of which he gets lost in the middle of a violent crowd, escaping catastrophe by the skin of his teeth. Over the course of four years, Dudek explored the material, the messages and the political contexts which prevailed in stadia in a study of group behaviour and crowd control. The London chapter, \u2018Steps and Marches\u2019, dives into the dynamic of mass movements; the Brussels chapter retraces the footsteps of those individuals who created these events
