Concrete and the Immaterial

Feelings of loss and vertigo within global economy shape this series of works, drawn from five years of collaborative and individual art and research by new media artsists Rita Haddoub and Paweł Dziadur.

18th June – 11th July 2025, 11am-5pm Mon-Fri, ANNEX, 1 Tiverton Street SE1 6NT

The exhibition features a photo-inquiry into Manufacturing Beirut and fieldwork-based video (2025), interactive sculptural works developed during a residency at the Boghossian Foundation (2023), and a textile installation titled ‘Polish Dreams’ first exhibited at the Goldsmiths MFA show (2021).

The wider research reflects on the interfaced city amidst developmental destruction, placing in dialogue global infrastructural shifts — from Poland’s post-war industrial acceleration to Lebanon’s suspended reconstruction. Concrete, as the raison d’être of modernity, becomes a relic of capital, raising the question: whose modernity is being constructed, and to what end?

In extended conversation with the exhibition, two symposium evenings of artistic interventions, talks, and installations will take place on Thursday evenings. Including Contributions by Polish and ukraninan media researchers and filmmakers.
Participating in the second symposium is still very much welcome!

Polish Fashion Stories: Unexpected Encounter – Batik

The earliest known examples of Polish batiks appeared around 1903 at an exhibition in Kraków, when the artist Jan Bukowski presented furniture upholstered in textiles decorated with what was called then “a manner of Easter eggs” - it was before the term batik had even entered the Polish language. From this point, other Kraków artists began to further explore the technique and its possibilities.
