Szaweł Płóciennik: The Machines for Living

A city never stands still. It grows, changes, and forgets. But in the work of Polish artist Szaweł Płóciennik (b. 1987, Warsaw), the city remembers, not just its architecture, but also the people who shaped it. Through paintings and sculptures, Szaweł captures the fading presence of a community once intertwined with the urban landscape. His exhibition The Machines for Living, at Uitstalling Gallery, is deeply personal yet universally resonant, drawing from his childhood memories and political shifts in post-Soviet Poland.

Aaron-Victor Peeters: An Exhibition as a Time Machine

A covered wagon that doesn't move. Horses galloping backwards. Cars without engines, yet filled with a romantic soul. Aaron-Victor Peeters (1994, Genk) is a Belgian artist exploring themes of time, movement, and the reinterpretation of objects. His exhibition Rum Runner at Uitstalling Gallery, showcasing works from 2019 to the present, is an ode to being on the move. "But when are you truly on your way?" Aaron asks. "Is it when you're physically moving, or when your mind is traveling?"
