At the invitation of Tomasz Twork, Tarasewicz has created the installation specifically for this place. It's still rather something extraordinary, that such an amazing project was created only due to a private collector's love for art. The artist prepared a 3 meter high construction within an area of nearly 200 square meters, containing an unusual maze of paintings and mirrors at the Artists Square.
So far the artists spatial installations were available at the Plaza Real in Barcelona (2002), on the facade of the Grand Theatre in Poznań (2003), on the walls of a multi-level parking lot in Milan (2005) or at the Golden Gate in Kiev (2010).
Already in the 90's, Tarasewicz has been creating paintings that not only go beyond the frames of the canvas but also fill up the entire space in such a way that the viewer finds himself inside the image. In 2001 when representing Poland at the 49th International Biennale in Venice, he painted the whole floor of the Polish Pavilion, in 2003 he turned the interiors of the Center for Contemporary Art in Warsaw into a painting and in 2006 he did the same with a fifteenth-century Kunsthalle church in Lübeck.
The spatial realisation combining mirrors and painted pillars is part of a solid exhibition at the National Museum in Kraków. The rising project in Kielce is the artists so far largest project.
The project is realised in cooperation with the Warsaw Gallery Art NEW media.
The exhibition starts on the 2nd of September 2011 and is open till the 15th of October 2011.
