Deserted Places / Jarek Wojcik
14 May - 02 June 2009

Jarek Wojcik’s previous solo exhibition, born from a journey to his native Poland in 2007, renewed his interest in the imaginative recreation of experience through memory. In his new exhibition Deserted Places he further develop his ideas of the artist’s creative reimagining of place and experience.

“Art is a journey, and for me every work is the beginning of that journey.
I’m visiting places which are not necessarily actual locations or even physical sites. They can be places within one’s self. This is a mental landscape, part of my response to what is around me through the study of history.
Every object, every destination initiates a process of conversation with reality and produces a fascinating collection of stories, messages and experiences.
I’m asking questions, and to find the answers one has to travel… but not too far.”
