” Once In A Blue Moon ” Exhibition at Galeria OFF Piotrkowska 11.09. – 27.09.

Galeria OFF Piotrwska proudly invites guests to their upcoming group show “Once in Blue Moon”. Aleksandra Frankowska, Rodney Dee, Mindy Lee, Line Krom, Max Pauer, Niloufar Shirani, Krzysztof Ślaziński, Susan Sluglett and Mamadou Touré aka Béhan – a selection of nine artists from Great Britain, Germany, Iran, Poland and Senegal revel in the colour Blue.

Blue appears to be the world’s most popular colour according to surveys. Blue is associated with trust, serenity and union. In art and popular culture many examples immediately spring to mind such as: Picasso’s “blue period”, Yves Klein’s blue monochromes and multinational blue branding used by Facebook, IKEA and Nivea etc.

Aleksandra Frankowska, Rodney Dee, Mindy Lee, Line Krom, Max Pauer, Niloufar Shiriani, Krzysztof Ślaziński, Susan Sluglett and Mamadou Touré aka Béhan explore the colours sumptuous elegance in technical, metaphorical and sensual ways, through illusionistic and physical dimensions. The exhibition will be a visual and physical feast, including edible, blue sculptures.

The title “Once in a Blue Moon” refers to an English saying meaning a rarely occurring event. A blue moon, a full moon occurring twice in a calendar month, only arises every 2,4 years. Picking up on the rare occasion as leitmotif the curators invite the public to submit blue coloured everyday objects building a bazar in all shades of blue. Both art works and everyday objects will be on display and for sale in the gallery.

The Vernissage takes place on 11.09.2015
