Zpigniew Warpechowski & Jerzy Beres
[Poland] performance 18.00 installation exhibition Having made live work since the nineteen sixties, Warpechowski & Beres are Poland’s oldest exponents of performance art. Their artistic practice is epitomised by evocations & traumas as experienced through the often dramatic events in their native country and Eastern Europe. At trace: the artists will be each presenting a solo work that will evidence the diversity and differing approaches of their practice. While Warpechowski’s work can often be disruptive and violently cathartic, Beres evokes a rare and tranquil lyricism. Both artists last presented work at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff in 1979. Their show at trace: will be a very rare opportunity and welcome return to experience first hand their generous and thought provoking actions. "Performance cannot be defined, but it can be codified. I know this code for me. My code of performance is only for me. Your code can be similar, but it must be different" Zpigniew Warpechowski
