The exhibition explores the experiences we share \u2013 regardless of age, identity, or life circumstances. We have to find a way around them, adapt or choose a path of our own, often transgressing established norms. It is a process of self-discovery that usually originates in pain caused by an internal unfulfilled need.<\/p>\n

The seaside resort provides the background for the exhibition that takes on the character of a „spa.” The artistic gestures and actions it contains are „treatments” administered for the benefit of emotional and spiritual wellness. The works speak of fears, traumas, and also about care work and survival strategies. Their vocabulary are objects, performances and unique rituals, and they draw inspiration from dreams, memories, hypnosis and the healing power of nature.<\/p>\n

WAVES emphasise the potential of art as an (art) therapeutic tool that enables the processing of personal stories. Can art be disturbingly moving, while also keeping company, offering support and allowing one to find one\u2019s own reflection in it? Finally, can it include outsiders in the creative process, putting them in the centre of an experience?<\/p>\n

The sea \u2013 breath, tears, salt and water \u2013 is an element that connects bodies. At the show, the body becomes a carrier of emotions and a tool for their release. The activities on offer \u2013 workshops, manual work, gesture, touch \u2013 open up a space for relief and mutual tenderness. The body \u2013 as memory, a map of emotions, a tool of expression \u2013 occupies an important role in hydrofeminism which suggests that we are not separate individuals but part of a large inter-species and inter-generational network. It is through our bodies, which mostly consist of water, that we express, experience and dissolve whatever causes pain.<\/p>\n

The works on display make it clear that sensitivity is not necessarily a sign of weakness. It can be a creative force \u2013 an ability to notice minute traces, personal stories and hidden emotions. It can also be a way of mounting resistance and building communities.<\/p>\n

The exhibition has evolved from a workshop, and its eponymous reference to Virginia Woolf\u2019s novel invites us to immerse ourselves in a stream of consciousness where reflections on life, relationships and the passage of time intertwine.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is accompanied by texts co-created by voiced experiences of the artists.<\/p>\n

Grupa \u0141ONO (Marcelina Amelia and Marta Borkowska)<\/b>

Marta Borkowska studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroc\u0142aw, obtaining her diploma in Glass Design in 2012, while Marcelina Amelia emigrated to the United Kingdom where she entered the University of Westminster in London to study Visual Communication and Illustration. Their works have been exhibited, among others, at the Wroc\u0142aw Contemporary Museum, during the Cracow Gallery Weekend and at the Copeland Gallery in London. The collective’s work interlaces between Wroc\u0142aw and Brighton. Apart from their joint practice, they are also active as individual artists.
Marcelina Amelia makes paintings and illustrations that have been displayed in many places from New York to Milan and have appeared in such magazines as The New York Times and Art Maze. As artist-in-residence at the Phoenix Art Space and member of the collective Rethinking Eastern Europe.
