UFO VISUAL LAB exhibition

Galeria Szara Kamienica, Kraków, 19.05-02.06.2017

The exhibition and special events programme organized by Fresh From Poland & Paper Beats Rock & FotoBzik, in partnership with Kraków Photomonth

Unidentified Flying Objects and extra-terrestrials have been appearing in the mainstream media and science discussions regularly for many years. It is extremely interesting: why do people want to believe, how come so many of us ‘know’ how the flying saucers or aliens look like, although no one has ever proved they exist and why the idea of UFO continuously inspires artists to produce stories, movies, artworks?

Polish art photography platform Fresh From Poland along with FotoBzik Association and Paper Beats Rock Foundation created an exhibition and publication that will be presented in Poland during the Krakow Photomonth Festival.

Grażyna Siedlecka, the curator of the exhibition, invited 11 artists, an art collective and guest curators to bring in their own unique stories. Organisers also worked on a timeline and library exploring the detailed evolution of the UFO myth. The important parts of the show are ’Alternative Facts’ zine accompanying the exhibition and the #SHOWMEYOURUFO project - an online and offline research looking into the collective consciousness.
