Title: Ryszard Ługowski
Description: Ryszard Lugowski's retrospective at the Centre of Polish Sculpture in Oronsko 2016 aims to introduce to us the works of an artist who was extremely active in various fields of art as well as to give us a view of his over thirty-year-long work. The architecture of Oronsko museum allows for such an arrangement of the exhibition that works can be accessible in two different interpenetrating orders, like a tale based on successively retrieved memories, interwoven with those that diverge from their timeline. At the exhibition we encounter sculptures, paintings, photographs, video, installations, performance. We will find various means and techniques which the artist uses to talk about human transience, of life and death, of eroticism, suffering, belief in transformation, in the possibility of communication and sharing experiences. In his art Ryszard Lugowski seems to flirt with ordinary tastes and leads a dialogue with people well settled in the world of contemporary art. He gives all his works original titles, which are intrinsic to the poetics of his activities and are a key element of artistic provocation, at other times they point to a trail of interpretations as it happens in the case of installations 'Torus', 'Medulla' or 'Peregrinus'.
