De eerste Belgische solotentoonstelling van de -in Berlijn gevestigde- Poolse kunstenaar Agnieszka Polska, Flowers on the Sun (21 sep ’24 – 12 jan ’25) in M HKA, toont een selectie van recente werken. Gebaseerd op speculatieve scenario’s, verweven met elementen van sciencefiction, belicht de tentoonstelling kwesties die verband houden met de relatie tussen mens, niet-mens en technologie. Hierbij worden dringende vragen gesteld over onze perceptie van tijd en geschiedenis. Ter gelegenheid van de tentoonstelling nodigen M HKA en De Cinema je uit voor een artist talk met Agnieszka Polska en een exclusieve vertoning van haar eerste speelfilm HURRAH, WE ARE STILL ALIVE! als onderdeel van Front Row.

EN An artistic commune is working on a film about Rosa Luxemburg, but the mysterious Director disappears as they set out to start filming. Although the crew are fascinated by the Director, they also loathe him. The question is – where has he gone and who really is the man, who has so strongly influenced the life of this community? The dynamics of relationships between people living in an artistic and emotional symbiosis turns out to be equally explosive and toxic. The film was inspired by an artistic group led by Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
The first Belgian solo exhibition of -Berlin-based- Polish artist Agnieszka Polska, Flowers on the Sun (21 Sep ’24 – 12 Jan ’25) in M HKA, features a selection of recent works. Based on speculative scenarios blended with elements of science fiction, the exhibition highlights issues related to the relationship of humans, non-humans and technology, posing urgent questions about our perception of time and history. On the occasion of the exhibition, M HKA and De Cinema invite you to the artist talk with Agnieszka Polska and a exclusive screening of her first feature film HURRAH, WE ARE STILL ALIVE! as part of Front Row.
Participation is free with a reservation!
