Artist in Residence Rafał Pierzyński and DIVAS celebrate the end of the residency with the presentation of the freshly printed zine ‘touching’.
Over the past few weeks, Rafał Pierzyński has been working intensively in the studio on collages made from found vintage gay porn magazines, which are now being put together to form a magazine. The artist constructs and deconstructs the image and text material for his pornographic poetry album about questions of sexual identity, beauty, pleasure and desire, repression and trauma – regardless of zeitgeist or political activism – in search of a language that is able to name this identity.
A glamorous evening with DIVAS (Rafał Pierzyński, Aga Pędziwiatr and special guest Magda Drozd), there will be performance, collages, live music, costumes, make-up and a puzzle. The ‘touching’ zine will be distributed to guests free of charge.
