PLUS ULTRA – wystawy rzeźby

The project of the Foundation Open Creative Studio – Plus Ultra Exhibitions of Masters of Sculpture in 2022 A series of two group exhibitions of important Polish sculptors will be organised; both exhibitions will be shown at two locations: in Warsaw and Zakopane. The activities of the Plus Ultra cycle aim to bring the works of exceptional sculptors of both the older and the new generations closer to a wider audience. The name of the project refers to the Latin expression “ever on. ” It is a paraphrase non plus ultra (no more than that) that refers to the words written by the mythological Hercules on two pillars that he placed at the supposed end of the world. By holding exhibitions that show the most important trends in Polish contemporary sculpture, we want to encourage the public to continue to search – to develop not only in the field of knowledge about art, but also in its spirituality – in order to fulfill the idea of ever more. Plus Ultra is a mobile cultural offering based on the presentation of artworks by Polish artists so that their works would be accessed throughout the country. The first exhibition in the series – “Masters of Sculpture” – will show artworks by artists who are, so to speak, “base” to contemporary Polish sculpture. The second exhibition will be the exhibition “Scholars of Sculpture”, which focuses on sculptors of the younger generation. Although the themes of the two exhibitions differ, they are ideally linked, reflecting the desire to honor Polish artists and to arouse interest in the art of different audiences.
