ART.BOX
CELLARS

Holidays are here. We go swimming, have excited times, visit interesting
corners of the world. For this period let us leave a (post) box at the
gallery and make a pledge to deliver the things we come across or create
and consider interesting for others personally, or by friends,  by
traditional, or electronic mail.  Let us be conscious that the thing we
want to put into the artistic box, into which the Piwnice BWA (BWA
Cellars) will turn for the time being, is going to travel, cross any
borders; it might be variously prepared for its mission. After arriving
in the site, it will become part of our collection. Out of this
collection we are going to extract and create the show which will be
changing and, considering its open character, probably follow various
paths.
We are initiating the box with several works which make references to
our group stay in Broumov, the Czech Republic. In its old brewery groups
of Czech, Polish and German artists took part in the Criss/Cross
exhibition. Our participation in the project was of a little different
character than other two groups. We did not fetch any ready works. We
brought our ideas hoping that the site would help us to specify a form
of expression.
Imagine a small town. At midday for one hour all shops are closed, and
loud speakers placed in the town centre play old songs. Against such a
setting in a corner of a small market square, at the table there is
sitting a Norwegian called Jesper. Next to him, there is a notice board.
It says that Jesper wants to get married and, what is more, on the day
of the Criss/Cross exhibition opening. Well, he has not been successful
but we have got the photo of him leaving the shop with an ice cream on a
wooden stick. And we are thinking of putting this portrait into our
exhibition-casket.

We invite you to join our project. Surprise yourself, surprise us with

The Piwnice BWA Gallery is part of the biggest gallery in the town of
Wrocław. This space is usually made accessible to young artists.
Wrocław - a thousand-year old town lying on the River Odra in
south-western Poland, a country in Europe.
The artists: Czurczak, Kulla, Mierzicki, Otwinowski, Pranckiewicz -
young people who like Czech bear, good fun and art.

The latest news:
The Piwnice BWA Gallery has uncovered its mystery: a chakra. The issue
is to be researched by the committee including representatives of
different art scenes. Here is the announcement on the chakra of one of
its discoverers: Such a site is a potential, it can mix it for people, I
mean, either help or make sick. I am for protecting the chakra before
politicians and the army.

Chakras - in Sanskrit cakra means a wheel - are energetic centres. They
intervene to draw down, transform and distribute universal (divine,
cosmic) energies in a psychophysical body of each man.
