Gunia Nowik Gallery participate in Art Basel Miami Beach 2024 with Teresa Gierzy\u0144ska, marking both our first Art Basel presentation and a major milestone in the gallery\u2019s mission to foster meaningful conversations across generations, geographies, and identities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Active since the 1960s and recently rediscovered, Teresa Gierzy\u0144ska<\/a><\/strong> (b. Rypin, Poland 1947) continues to be one of the most significant feminist artists working in Poland today. Gunia Nowik Gallery\u2019s presentation, carefully selected with the artist, includes pieces from her key series: The Essence of Things (1973 \u2013 1975), About Her (1976 \u2013 1995), and Black, White, and Green (1984 \u2013 1994), which offer an overview of the artist\u2019s practice and investigate themes revolving around female identity, one\u2019s own corporeality, the erotic and psychological tension in relationships, and the roles marked by society for women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The selection forms a continuum with the group of Teresa\u2019s works recently exhibited at the Walker Art Center in the group show curated by Pavel Py\u015b, Multiple Realities: Experimental Art in the Eastern Bloc, 1960s\u20131980s (November 11, 2023 \u2013 March 10, 2024), which later traveled to the Phoenix Art Museum, and just one week after Art Basel Miami Beach opens in the Vancouver Art Gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gierzy\u0144ska\u2019s work, often experimental, centers on photography and its duplication techniques, using methods such as thermocopy, aniline dye, and her signature \u2018press-out\u2019 process. About Her forms the core of the booth, in which the artist implements her own image through a feminist lens to both record her emotional experiences and shifts, as well as create universal situations with which women of different ages and backgrounds can identify. Works from Black, White, and Green use color to represent mood and emotions, while The Essence of Things critiques objectified depictions of women, addressing the banality of female desires in pop culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artist has developed her own language to speak about the female experience and emotions, as she herself says, recognizing and naming them was for her an important element in the process of reclaiming herself, her autonomy. Gierzy\u0144ska’s practice is part of the long-lasting process of the emancipation of women in and through art, in which photography played an important role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artist\u2019s bio:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in 1947 in Rypin, Poland. In 1964-65 she went for an educational trip to Canada. In 1965-1971, she studied at the Department of Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in prof. Tadeusz \u0141odziana\u2019s sculpture studio and prof. Oskar Hansen\u2019s Solids and Planes design studio. Since the 1960s, photography and its duplication techniques such as thermocopy or photocopy have become the main tools for the artist\u2019s exploration of the representation of women and their role marked by society. Her most known cycle About Her proposes an investigation or introspection within the female identity, the mystical version of feminism, where the photographs are accompanied by adjectives \u2013 meaningful titles given to the pictures: Dangerous, Independent, Unapproachable, Mature, Cold, Worried, Thirty Years Old, Useless, Left-handed, Velvety, Caresses, Ful of Hope. She lives and works in Warsaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
