ANNA KUTERATHE MORPHOLOGY OF THE NEW REALITY29.11 - 10.12.1975

“The Morphology of the New Reality” is the title that the Polish artist Anna Kutera has given to her exhibition at Galerie S:t Petri, Lund, which takes place from November 29 to December 10, 1975.

In various series of photographs, she depicts the constant metamorphoses that occur within her surroundings. Most often, we find children in the pictures. According to Anna Kutera, this is because they are always natural; they do not act — they simply are.

Together with fifteen other Polish artists, Anna Kutera works with a form of art called “contextual art.”
This means that art is placed in relation to time, place, situation, and the person or persons who experience the work.
And since all of these components are constantly changing — while the context is never the same — contextual art represents a dynamic view of creation.
The message acquires the meaning that the context allows.
Its significance is not static.
For this group of artists, reality is perceived as a continuous stochastic process, and they attempt to express it partly through photo series.

Anna Kutera explains:

“I create a semantic structure;
I shape a new aesthetic in the form of chains, series, and functions,
through which a semiological act arises between a sign and the interpretation of it.”

This is the first time Anna Kutera exhibits individually outside Poland.
She has previously participated in group exhibitions in the USA, Argentina, Belgium, England, and Yugoslavia.

Anna Kutera will be present at Galerie S:t Petri on Saturday, November 29, from 14:00 to 18:00.

The exhibition is open weekdays 15:00–20:00, Saturdays and Sundays 12:00–17:00.
