Andrzej Mroczek :

What inspired me to make this exhibition was the canon of minimal art, well-known to me - 'less is more'. It was a starting point, a provocation to present, through an exhibition, such way of thinking about art and way of entering the area of it, that one will be able to see how a concept of an artwork turns into an object. I asked artists, who, as I see it, reducing a form and making it monumental, resent all what is unnecessary ballast for the essence of art. Concentration on what is the most significant value for art, introduces us to the very core of its existence, the spirit of it.

This gives an impulse, which moves mind and soul the same time becoming matter for creation the space of art as well as, mentioned earlier, togetherness of mind and soul. And occasion to touch together and getting deeper and deeper into 'universe of art'. I am offering this exhibition for consideration, also dedicating it to all viewers, who in that togetherness want to participate and enrich it with their feelings.
