What is the symbiotic collaboration between two artists who work as a duo and have been a couple in their private lives? What media shape their artistic language for expressing multiple themes? What is the source of the artists’ choreography: is it the potential of their bodies or the desire to express emotions through these poses? How do they combine private motifs with cultural references? And what cultural themes do they embody in subtle performances? Do and how do large-scale drawings linked to choreographed bodies fit into gay and queer culture? What models of masculinity do they represent against a background of tradition and rich cultural motifs? And what role do stones and masks play in all this?
Meeting will be held in English with translation into Polish.
Moderation: Marc Navarro, Maria Brewińska

07.09 – 03.11.2024Prinz GholamPrinz Gholam is the collaborative name of two artists, Wolfgang Prinz and Michel Gholam, who have been working together since 2001. Hailing from different cultural backgrounds — German (Prinz) and Lebanese (Gholam) — their art transcends national contexts. They draw inspiration from diverse cultures and eras, incorporating these elements freely into their work. Their creative practice encompasses performance pieces and choreographies staged in the presence of viewers or for the photographic or film camera, as well as large-scale drawings, stone sculptural objects, and distinctive masks, the latter influenced by the 2020 pandemic.
