Curator:

Ala Kryształ – a trio moving in an area of mutual, subtle spectral and sound interactions.

Visual composition created by Monika Kuczyniecka during live-act is accompanied by music animation by Radosław Drwęcki and Marcin Karnowski, played by acoustic and electronic instruments.

Telling a story, they focus on immediacy and temporariness; they adapt the existing space to the needs of a specific show. Every installation is a separate entirety and is a distinct artistic situation. Monika Kuczyniecka uses sample video and material selected intuitively to individual shows, enlivening the matter striving to achieve a more or less abstract story. Radosław Drwęcki (synthesizers, sampler, looper) and Marcin Karnowski (Handpan, SPDS) react musically to an image or inspire a direction in visual searches.

Monika Kuczyniecka – a member of the Polish Filmmakers Association, graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań (dissertation in the first animation studio), and earlier at the Leon Wyczółkowski PLSP in Bydgoszcz. She is involved in clay modeling and other arts. She made video clips for Renata Przemyk, Bajzel, Czesław Mozil, Voo Voo, Dagadan, Na Górze. In addition, Monika Kuczyniecka has been running for several years her own stop motion workshops with the use of modeling clay for children, young people and adults based primarily on her own artistic experiences.
