I have been uncontrollably shaking from pure excitement of the skeleta album release and how excited I am to see Ghost in August you guys don’t even get me started PLEASE

Also my mom is scheduling some thing to check if I have autism purely because of this and because everyone even my therapist thinks I’m autistic (no I do not think having autism is a “badge of honor” thank you very much. I am getting this because it has been postponed since 2022.)

Honza Zamojski: GHOSTISM Oct 13 - Dec 4, 2016

OSMOS Address 50 E 1st Street New York NY 10003

This Fall OSMOS invites Polish multi-disciplinary artist Honza Zamojski to install an exhibition entitled Ghostism at OSMOS Address, our project space located at 50 East First Street in Manhattan. The work will be on view from October 13 until December 4, 2016.

At the center of the project is a series of black-and-white photographs depicting sculptures made of magnets. Recalling the tone and proportion of Brassai’s famous portfolio Les Sculptures de Picasso, Zamojski’s shadowy monuments also invoke the unrealized forms of Constructivist architecture.   The magnetized compositions become stand-ins for both the human figure and its built constructions.  

Employing the simplest of materials to explore what he terms “the nonsensical nuances of reality,” Zamojski aims to challenge the “traditional opposition between spirituality and materialism” through a sculptural medium that holds its form precisely through the energy that courses through it.  

Playful and direct, the work manifests a paradox: reaching towards the sky, the magnetic towers are simultaneously bound forever inward, twisting and malforming to accommodate their many magnetic poles. These photographs will be accompanied by works in other media.

Honza Zamojski (b. 1981) is an artist, designer, book publisher and curator whose practice spans multiple genres and mediums, from photography, to drawing, to sculpture. His work has been shown at solo and group shows in Poland and abroad, including the Zachęta - National Gallery of Art, Foksal Gallery, Morsbroich Museum and the Andrew Kreps Gallery in New York. He presented his lecture on self-publishing, titled "How it's Made", at the Centre Pompidou (2013), MoMA Library, and Printed Matter New York (both 2012). This exhibition at OSMOS has been produced in collaboration with Foksal Gallery in Warsaw, the Mazovian Institute of Culture and the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, and First Street Green in Manhattan.

Ghostism

The so called spiritual matters are usually contrasted with and opposed to materiality. Spirituality, as commonly understood, is a level above mundane affairs on the metaphorical ladder of human needs. Bodily needs — such as the need to satisfy hunger or feel secure — are placed below the needs of the soul (if such a thing exists at all), whether in the religious aspect (God) or the rational one (Beauty/Reason). Well-developed spirituality is supposed to serve as a ‘safety valve’ protecting the average homo sapiens from the fear of death. In the context of spirituality so construed, ghostism would be its negative reflection, something that burdens the mind and hinders action. The striving towards the ‘absolute’ (whether divine or rational) would be limited to making constant references to the past that is but a collection of facts recorded in various media and their mental interpretations. Ghostism is for the mind what concrete shoes are for the drowning man who sees the water surface but is unable to swim up. Ghostism stands in a row with all its -ism ancestors, becoming its own caricature and ineptly imitating their achievements, calling this reinterpretation or inspiration.
