Joanna Piotrowska — Stable Vices / Entre nous

Stable Vices, was published by MACK in 2021. It is a monographic publication dedicated to the work of Polish artist Joanna Piotrowska. It includes her most recent photographic series and films, dealing with themes such as protection, liberty and oppression. At the occasion of the eponymous solo-show, LE BAL publishes a booklet, entitled Entre nous, co-published with MACK, completing the original publication and presenting her most recent series, in which the artist looks upon her own familial history, and also including a new text from psychanalyst  Anouchka Grose. The new text comes on top of original text by contemporary art historian and curator Sara de Chiara, philosopher Joanna Bednarek, and writer Dorota Maslowska

« These precarious poses, excessive gesturing and movements that seem to be suddenly executed, communicate a state of emergency, as if they were reflex actions to something that remains unknown to the viewer. »
– Sara De Chiara, art historian
