We invite you to a curatorial tour of the exhibition “Kim jest Janina Węgrzynowska?” by the curator of the project, Paulina Olszewska.

The exhibition was born out of the need to tell the story of female artists whose lives and work are fascinating, but have found themselves outside the art circuit and thus remain unnoticed. The project was initiated with the “Grey-orange painting” by Janina Węgrzynowska (1930–2010) from 1979, which is in the Galeria Studio collection. In preparation for the collection’s exhibition in 2021, curator Paulina Olszewska became interested in the op-art composition and its author, about whom only scraps of information could be found.
Paulina Olszewska – curator, project manager and art consultant, lives in Warsaw and Berlin. Her reviews, interviews and critical texts have been published in many international magazines such as Mocak Forum, Contemporary Lynx, Atlántica, The Naked and Tagesspiegel. She has written numerous texts for art catalogues and publications. Since 2009, Paulina Olszewska has been working as a freelance curator preparing exhibitions with international artists at a number of European institutions. Since 2019, she has been working as a curator at the public gallery Galeria Studio in Warsaw.
