Pouch for Silence

Krystiana Robb-Narbutt, Erna Rosenstein

May 11 – 31, 2019

The current exhibition reveal very important features of the works of both artists, but also indicate their distinctiveness. First of all, despite the difference in generation and artistic circles in which their attitudes were shaped, both artists created in the shadow of the family experience of the Holocaust. Different forms of memory, from dreams and memories to its forms materialized in the form of destruction, such as destroyed or worn out things, are the basic thing for their work. Krystiana Robb-Narbutt likes to use garbage with a high symbolic saturation, such as various devotional objects or objects evoking strong associations, such as old crowded children's toys. In Robb-Narbutt's work we find ourselves in the beautified world of the dead, in a cemetery full of signs and symbols, in the face of the tragedy of unattainable memories and distant memory.
