Salon odrzuconych
The Salon of the Rejected

Summary/Abstract: Zuzanna Berendt writes of the Aristocrats project by Łukasz Chotkowski, Magda Hueckel, Tomasz Śliwiński, and Stefan Węgłowski (Komuna// Warszawa,premiere: 7,8.11.2015). The author provides outlines of the protagonists of the diptych, Krzysztof Niemczyk and Małga Kubiak, pondering the consequences of the presentation of such colorful and diverse figures within a single series. She analyzes the evening devoted to Niemczyk, focusing on the re-performances of the artist's projects in a gallery setting, and the construction of a narrative about him by the creators of the project. She sees Małga Kubiak's performance combined with a screening of her films and a drag queen performance as a multi-level statement on physicality, a theme which is ever-present in the artist's work
