From the very beginning, architecture’s primary role has been to protect. The set of anxieties that accompany its inhabitants has evolved – people still turn to architecture to seek shelter from weather or the elements, but nowadays they also contend with climate catastrophe, wars or the prospect of mass migration.

Zachęta – National Gallery of Art in Warsaw presents a focused selection of works by Giorgio Morandi (1890–1964), a Bolognese artist whose approach continues to resonate with contemporary audiences. The exhibition spans the entire artistic trajectory, from his experiments in the 1920s to his full expressive maturity, marked by a progressive rarefaction of line and palette. His still lifes, silent landscapes and delicate floral compositions reflect a sustained inquiry into perception and the representation of space.

For years, Joanna Fluder has worked outside the mainstream of the institutional world of art, and Slime is the first time her work is shown in such a comprehensive way . In her painting and installations, she combines surrealism with autobiographical elements to tell a story about living on the fringes of society, overshadowed by failure, among inconspicuous beings.

The latest film by Katarzyna Depta-Garapich, created for the exhibition at the Zachęta Project Room, is also called Feral — the same as the exhibition and the new works presented in it. The artist seems to speak of the power of nature, where the roles of humans, animals and plants are equal and interspecies transformation is possible.

The exhibition opens the archives of Zachęta to revisit the networks of global artistic relations forged during the socialist era in Poland. Contemporary artists confront these histories with the present, asking what remains of the “internationalist friendships” from before 1989, and how they might shape our understanding of a shared past.
