The work consists of two elements: framed collages (50×70 cm, archival print) and an object (280×18×320 cm, nitrile rubber, railing from a moving walkway). These are components of an imagined exhibition. Its main premise is a moving walkway for viewers to travel on. Their interactions with the artworks are strictly defined. The works in the exhibition are arranged one after the other, as if along a timeline of an indefinite length. The installation was created for the exhibition Proposals for a Show exhibition curated by Jan Domicz and Piotr Drewek at Galeria Wschód, which consisted exclusively of proposals for exhibitions. This collection and Walkway directly address the pandemic – a period, during which a portion of artistic production was put on hold and proposals/sketches/simulations of exhibitions emerged as their only articulation.

Jan Domicz is a visual artist, creator of videos, objects, and installations. In his work, he draws on the narrative potential of space and its socio-political implications. He creates systems at the intersection between the private and shared space. Rather than solving problems, such systems generate them. Problems create a narrative, and the narrative gives meaning to the space. Domicz’s work has been presented at, among others: Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt am Main, SALTS in Basel, Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art in Warsaw, Significant Other in Vienna, and Karlin Studios in Prague. His most recent projects include the exhibition Proposals for a Show at Warsaw’s Galeria Wschód, with which Domicz often collaborates. Since 2017, he has been leading the quasi-curatorial project, Office for Narrated Spaces. He is a graduate of the Staedelschule in Frankfurt am Main and University of the Arts in Poznań.
