Giovedì 19 aprile, per il quarto appuntamento di A painting cycle, Nomas Foundation presenta l’artista di origine polacca Agnieszka Brzezanska. Nella ricerca dell’artista convergono scienza, natura, arte e metafisica, tradotte nelle sue tele dalle costanti variazioni di ritmo, fluidità e colore. Ogni lavoro esprime la tensione derivante da un'approfondita indagine tra una dimensione astratta e una figurativa, restituita tramite una costruzione spirituale e mistica dell’ immagine stessa.
Agnieszka Brzezanska sarà in conversazione con Tenzing Barshee, scrittore che vive e lavora a Basel. I suoi saggi sono stati pubblicati in numerose riviste e giornali internazionali. Attualmente gestisce lo spazio Elaine MGK insieme a Nikola Dietrich, Scott Cameron Weaver e Hannah Weinberger. Recentemente è diventato assistente di Fabrice Stroun alla Kunsthalle Bern.
Nomas Foundation, dopo ‘A Performance Cycle’ (2010) e ‘A Film Cycle’ (2011), dedica anche quest’anno una parte della sua programmazione a un ciclo che affronta uno specifico linguaggio dell’arte, declinandolo nelle sue varie sfumature.
‘A Painting Cycle’ si sofferma sulla pittura, il medium che, più di altri, il pubblico non addetto ai lavori associa all’arte tout court, e che sempre più nel mondo del contemporaneo si sta riappropriando di spazio, attenzione, confronto.
Ogni due settimane a partire dall’8 marzo, Nomas Foundation si trasforma di capitolo in capitolo in una quadreria sempre diversa che accoglie conversazioni, incontri, workshop e una biblioteca tematica aperta al pubblico.

On Thursday 19 April in occasion of the fourth appointment of ‘A painting cycle’, Nomas Foundation presents the Polish artist Agnieszka Brzezanska. The artist's researches on science, nature, art and metaphysic, merge in her practice and are translated in her canvas by constant shifts of rhythm, fluidity and colour. Every work is a result of the tension stemming from a profound investigation within both the abstract and the figurative dimension, which is transposed through a spiritual and mystical construction of the image itself.
Agnieszka Brzezanska will be in conversation with Tenzing Barshee, a writer, from Basel. His texts have been published in various international magazines and newspapers. Currently he is running Elaine MGK with Nikola Dietrich, Scott Cameron Weaver and Hannah Weinberger. More recently he started assisting Fabrice Stroun at the Kunsthalle Bern.
After ‘A Performance Cycle’ (2010) and ‘A Film Cycle’ (2011), again this spring Nomas Foundation's programme will be marked by a project taking the form of a cycle as a mode of presentation that aims to explore specific languages within art declined in their different nuances and forms.
‘A Painting Cycle’ reflects on painting, a language that the public tipically identifies as art tout court and that is today, increasingly gaining space, attention and momentum.
Every two weeks from March 8, chapter after chapter, Nomas Foundation becomes a picture gallery hosting conversations, workshops and a thematic library open to the public.
