Małgorzata Wakuluk: Not What You Think

About The Exhibition:

Exhibition curator: Roberto Muffoletto

VASA Exhibitions is presenting the work o Polish photographerf Małgorzata Wakuluk.

The photographic work of Polish photographer Małgorzata Wakuluk raises a number of interesting considerations as we reflect on the nature of images, representations and the “making” of photographs (making is different from taking). Małgorzata invites us to move away from looking out to looking in.  The images are not about “things” in the world but are emblematic feelings and sensations in the realm of a psychological quest, an inner quest.  A quest with no fixed meaning, leaving the reader of her visual text to piece it together.

We are not shown views of the external world (objects, places, people) but are invited into an internal world.  A world that is not neatly defined for us through the lens.  We are not given an easy entry into the meaning(s) of the images or of the series.  In the search for meaning through and between images in this exhibition, the persistent viewer, if still enough, can sense their mind at work: looking, comparing, rejecting and struggling to make sense of the experience.

On VASA Exhibitions:

VASA Exhibitions for 11 years has provided an international platform for individual and group exhibitions, collaborative exhibitions with various organizations and galleries and exhibitions that follow a particular theme or inquiry such as “Where Do We Go Now” curated by Rui Cepeda and the “Kharkiv School of Photography: Soviet Censorship to New Aesthetics” curated by Igor Manko.

VASA Exhibitions are international and multicultural.  The curatorial team has strived to present work that not only represents the photographers but also the social, historical and cultural.  As an online international project, VASA works to engage various digital tools.  Video, as an example, not only offers the potential for the presentation of works, it provides the opportunity and framework for the voice of the author to be seen and heard.   Through image, text, sound and animation, VASA works to expand the exhibition paradigm and provide a rich experience for the viewer (as well as the author).

VASA Exhibitions provides a viewing and research environment by archiving all of the exhibitions in their entirety. For example, the viewer may view a 2009 exhibition as it was presented and not just traces of its existence.

VASA Exhibitions (a program in VASA) includes images, videos and sound works.
