Błogobzbzbzstan
22 works, polyurethane resin on canvas, yoga mat, VR (PC + Oculus Rift)
BWA Zielona Góra, 2019
“Błogobzbzbzstan got its start in years-long yoga exercises by the artist in his studio. Sharing a limited space, these two practices – artistic and yogic – interpenetrate each other on various planes. The relations between them are reflected by the title, which shows the tension between states of bliss and stimulation, which both practices can cause. The minimalistic exhibition comprises several elements from this world – pictures created in the studio and a yoga mat, a physical record of exercise over a long time. Another element is virtual reality, where the motifs from the pictures become three-dimensional and “come to life”. At the moment they put on the virtual glasses, the viewer enters the picture, but also into the space of the studio, the artist’s work and exercises.”
