POLA (Eng: FIELDS)

The exhibition features over a dozen works by Magda Jurek from her latest collection POLA/FIELDS. Inspired by the monumental ceramic art of the modernist era and the formal experiments of op art, it is a series of ceramic compositions similar in form to paintings. The artist and designer, known to the public as Pani Jurek, develops her colour-based visual language through the medium of ceramics.

Maria S.C. chandeliers are made from laboratory test tubes, set in two or one plywood bands. This unconventional material and geometric shape makes these lamps both classic and innovative. The double glass cylinder recalls Art Deco forms in a unique contemporary way. The use of ready-made objects gives an appearance with a Duchamp idea. The lamp is inspired by the Polish scientist, Maria Sklodowska-Curie, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

The 19th-century wooden villa in Lodz, part of the Central Museum of Textile, inaugurated its opening in September 2022 with the "Checkered" exhibition. The starting point for the exhibition was the checkered workers shawl once worn by women in the factories. Now it has become a source of inspiration for art works and installations by contemporary artists and designers.

Bioluminescence is a living organisms’ ability to emit light without heat production. Among the glowing species, up to 80% live in water. In search for alternative sources of energy and reducing heat emission, the Holy Grail of energy turns out to lie in the oceans.

"What do I feel with my cheek, with my knee or with my hand? What does the cup look like, see with my knee? I am trying to figure that out. I am remembering it, using my knee, rub the smooth, cold surface, feeling the protuberance, and the hole. it is sharp on the edge. Then, using my memory and the eyes, I try to shape it. I am looking at this and I do not recognize it."

Seed boards

This multifunctional board can be used as a wall clock shield, a cutting/cheese board or simply hung on the wall as a decorative piece, the way the original Hucul plates were used. The starting point to design this project was a reflection on the old rhythm of human life, measured not by hours or minutes, but by the sun phases and human work. The visual inspiration was taken from a sunflower – a popular crop in Ukraine, considered as a solar plant.

Living lamps

Bioluminescence is a living organisms’ ability to emit light. It has inspired Pani Jurek to create eco lamps. Together with Stanisław Łoboziak, a biologist designer created a lighting fixture that can emit light without the necessity of supplying them with electricity. In nature, bioluminescent diatoms can be observed, when waves full of diatoms hit the shore and the water flares blue magical light. Diatoms do not emit light during the day, it occurs only during the night and when they are in motion.

The idea for the postcards was born in Krakow, where we conducted workshops for architecture students through lectures on the theory of vision and spatial orientation, where we learned the perception of different types of visually impaired people.

How is it possible to make kids sensitive to well designed space? The answer can be found in a new product by Pani Jurek. She selected her favorite items from the history of modern design, embroidered their shapes on the tablecloth and „arranged” the interior under the table.

The “PSIKUSY. Remix your dog” is a concept about how the mixed breed dogs arise, about dog personalities, the shapes and colors galore, that only nature can create. The concept and graphic design is created by Pani Jurek and Małgorzata Gurowska, Dorota Masłowska wrote a witty statement which is the praise of mongrelism and diversity.

The Plika Light is made from a bunch of coloured fibers mounted in white ceramic elements. The form evokes Rasta dreadlocks but the name suggests an inspiration derived from Plica Polonica (Polish Plait), an old Polish superstition.
