New artists in-residence: Paulina Włostowska and Michał Szuwar

Paulina Włostowska

Paulina Włostowska and Michał Szczęsny Szuwar, Museum of Warsaw, 2023.

As a duo artistic collective, Paulina Włostowska and Michał Szuwar have undertaken projects involving textiles, painting, lettering and printmaking.
As a visual artist, Paulina Włostowska explores the status of decorative arts in the context of post-war Polish history, as well as their contemporary significance. Together with Michał
Szuwar, they have been carrying out projects for several years that straddle the boundary between craft and fine art within the aforementioned fields, as well as murals and fabric by the metre.
Michał Szuwar runs lettering and textural painting studios, where he utilises goldsmithing and screen-printing techniques.
Both are actively engaged as visual artists while also exploring craftsmanship and technology, particularly in the context of large-format mural painting.

During their 2-week residency at Lottozero, they will develop collaborative textile pattern designs, experimenting with screen printing and weaving techniques.

The residency is co- financed by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland - Adam Mickiewicz Institute
