Dorota Walentynowicz/Projection
A conceptual artist is interested in defining photography and light. She pays special attention to converting personal space into objective experience. The art is happening in personal relations, not in a hermetic private space. She often invites the recipients to take part in some kind of a game. She makes the rules, but the recipients response in interpreting the work is a main condition for the work's existance.

Katarzyna Józefowicz/ Installation
The artist in her works usually organizes the space by turning objects that are full of energy and anxiety into neutral, warm and cosy places. Creating these works is very time-consuming for the artist, but she treats the monotony of the process as if it was some kind of creative trance and meditation. Katarzyna Józefowicz's exhibition titled „posłowie/epilogue” is shown in Gdańska Galeria Miejska/Gdańsk City Gallery from 21 November 2009 to 8 January 2010
