“Art should be treated as a living being.” — Barbara Kozłowska
25 min, 2025, spontaneous interactions in English, free entry
Referring to the work of Barbara Kozłowska, this performance draws on the concept of space as a site for recognizing diversity and heterogeneity. A central point of reference is her “Total Concept of the Line” – an idea the artist articulated as a processual structure for exploring relationships: with the cosmos, the material world, subjectivity, and Otherness. Anna Kalwajtys, in a performance dedicated to Barbara Kozłowska, emphasizes the crossing of various types of boundaries – both material and symbolic – and highlights the importance of cooperation and dialogue, values fundamental to Kozłowska’s artistic practice. In this action, drawing on Kozłowska’s practices of line-marking, Kalwajtys employs minimalist means of expression, gesture reduction, and the physical presence of the artist. These become tools for exploring space as a medium of dialogue, co-presence, and collaboration. The act of crossing boundaries – of successive dimensions of space and presence – is presented not only as an aesthetic gesture, but also as one of political and existential significance.
