Spójrz mi prosto w twarz. Abakanowicz i inni

Muzeum Zamoyskich | Kozłówka, Poland
July 25 - November 30, 2025

The sculptures created after World War II are testimony to an era of tensions—political, social, but also intimate, internal. This was a time when artists often sought a new language—raw, corporeal, sometimes painful—to tell the story of a person who survived, but not remained intact. And it's the face that says the most about a person.

A significant portion of the works presented come from the unique postwar sculpture collection of the Zamoyski Museum in Kozłówka—a collection that for years documented the artistic voices of that era, often overlooked, sometimes unjustly underestimated, and forgotten. These works speak not only through their form, but also through the history of their creation, preservation, rescue, and restoration.

The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler

Museum of Arts and Design | New York
May 29, 2025 - April 19, 2026

The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) invites audiences into the glamorous, witty, and wonderful universe of celebrated ceramicist and designer Jonathan Adler. In his first curatorial role, Adler presents more than 60 works from the Museum’s permanent collection, alongside his own iconic designs. The exhibition brings Adler’s singular design vision to MAD’s collection, spotlighting the artists, materials, techniques, and ideas that have inspired his aesthetic.

Organized into thematic vignettes, the exhibition offers a tour through Adler’s fascinations: Authentica celebrates the sleek forms of mid-century modern ceramics; Optimistica embraces exuberance in all its forms; Funkiana and Kottler-ia explore craft’s capacity for satire and subversion; Erotica turns up the heat with sensual works in ceramic, fiber, and glass; and Americalia, Metallica, and Animalia round out the exhibition with patriotic pastiche, glimmering metalwork, and Adler’s Mother Nature-inspired menagerie.

Adler has built an international reputation for his innovative approach to design, which deftly combines humor, impeccable style, and skilled craftsmanship. The exhibition marks a return to the time and place it all began—in 1993 he sold his first pots in the Museum’s store (then known as the American Craft Museum). The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler brings his creative journey full circle.

The latest in MAD’s collection-based exhibition series, The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler will be extended through a series of related public programs featuring the designer at the Museum. Additionally, The Store at MAD will stock a selection of iconic Jonathan Adler products.

Miasto zwierząt

Galeria Krzysztofory | Cracow
May 30 - October 26, 2025

The exhibition Misto zwierząt [City of Animals] raises provocative questions: Can a modern city exist without its animal inhabitants? Who does Kraków listen to? Only those who speak with a human voice?

The exhibition presents not only what has been, but also what might come. What will Kraków of the future look like? Will there be room for wild animals? Will increasingly urbanized spaces allow for coexistence? Or perhaps in the future, we will be the guests in a city ruled by animals?
