Spaces
City Gallery
Wrocław
1999
The first point of the autumn program of the City Gallery was the extremely interesting exhibition Spaces by Paulina Komorowska-Birger. The artist, a graduate of the Wrocław Academy of Fine Arts, created astonishing objects and unexpected spaces from glass threads. Beata Frydryczak, analyzing her works, notes: Formal issues, so alive in the work of Paulina Komorowska-Birger, overlap with the meaningful layer of the works. One might get the impression that the artist found symbolism in glass for what is fragile, delicate, and subtle. In this context, the juxtaposition of glass with raw material signifies resistance to what is strong, indestructible, and rough. (…) Glass becomes a trace of what is delicate, exposed to "easy injury," but the collision with a hard, resistant structure reveals the strength of what is fragile only seemingly.
