Art on a postcard

Mail Art exhibitions organized around the world have inspired Polish artists to originally celebrate Stanisław Lem’s birthday. Their project resonated widely. More than 130 authors proposed the proposal, submitting a total of more than 400 works. Age or skill does not matter. Unusual postcards were made only by hand and by any technology.The main idea of ​​the project was to promote Stanisław Lim’s work and his relationshipWith Krakow, so the works had to indicate the artist’s work.

–Together with our friends, we wanted to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Stanisław Lim’s birth. We drew our ideas from other Mail Art fairs around the world – says Ewa Kruchkowska Kroll, organizer of the exhibition.

It’s time to show business to a wide audience

The task of the developers was simple. Everyone had to think about the multilayered background of Stanisław Lim’s work and how it was and continues to be interpreted by the world of science, art andphilosophy. Space exploration of Mars has also become a very important component of the project. It is worth seeing for yourself how different the interpretation of this topic is. The first exhibition of works submitted to the project begins on December 17 in Krakow. The authors are, among others, from India, Macedonia, Bali, Venezuela, Great Britain, Poland and Germany.
