Bunkier Sztuki collection of Polish contemporary art travels to Reykjavík
Marcin Maciejowski, The Doctor Said…, 2001. Oil on canvas, 97 × 124 cm.



REYKJAVÍK.- The exhibition features exclusively works from the collection of Bunkier Sztuki, which houses one of the strongest collections of Polish contemporary art in Europe.

The exhibition includes photographs, paintings, sculptures, and installations by thirty artists from Poland.

The body is at the forefront of the exhibition, which brings together works created predominantly in the 21st century, a period marked by rapid social change, technological advancement, and evolving ideas about the body, identity, and existence. The exhibition directs attention to the body as a living process rather than a fixed entity. It is shaped by environment, technology, social norms, and histories, and is always in relation to other bodies, other lives, and other worlds. The exhibition highlights the diversity and vitality of Polish contemporary art and places it within an international context.

The works have traveled from Kraków to Reykjavík, where they are presented within a community that has been partly shaped by Polish presence. Poles are the largest group of immigrants in Iceland and have enriched Icelandic culture and everyday life. It is therefore meaningful to encounter these works, rooted in Polish artistic and cultural life, here in Reykjavík. The exhibition thus creates a space for encounter between Polish culture and the Icelandic audience.
