JULIAN MICHAEL MAJEWSKI – “THANKYOUF..KYOU” –, February 22 – 28, 2014

Julian Majewski’s work experiments with compositions displayed as contemporary installations created through varying elements of sculpture, graphic elements, video projections, sound and commercial processes. His work could be categorized as urban grunge, offering a wide dose of ambiguity and context.

Majewski’s first corridor213 exhibit consists of four “confined”, 3D graffiti assemblages. His repurposed, grimy, cruddy, shoddy and wretched materials, which purpose is to remain forever concealed, which are aesthetically undesirable or destined to be discarded are now elevated to superior carriers of meaning. As they are morphing into elegant letters, shaped and reshaped for over two thousand years by thousands of practitioners, they are assuming a new role of… soundless tombs and monuments: witnessing and accusing. Words, now purposely deconstructed into oblivion and beyond “recognition” by Majewski, are “signing” to us with oscillating ambiguity. By opening up a thousand times broader stream of immanent information, with gusto, Majewski caved into the uncertainty principle dictum…and escaped the invisible terror of obviousness. By silencing the worn out pedestrian language, he pumped up the volume of the background radiation hum. Neither positive nor negative, his work attacks the most vulnerable aspect of our intuition. There are no semantics or pragmatics: just rhythm, cadence, tension and infinite amount of layers of context… we sense, absorb, ingest and ultimately – accept… without hesitation.
