Antyfaszystowski Blok Rysunkowy

My silkscreen print was featured on an international group exhibition under the title “Battle” which is also the subject of all works created for this travelling and growing collection of works. It can be seen at Pracownia Wschodnia, ul. Lubelska 30/32, Warsaw.

On May 21st three brave people on bikes took off to find the mysterious Waste Mountain in Kępa Zawadzka 15km south, on the fringes of Warsaw. On the way we explored the landscapes and flora of the wild Vistula bank. We also had a horseradish eating competition, did embroideries, found a secret motorcycle racetrack, listened to genuine country music performed at the local market, admired a sea of sand next to an ocean of dandelions, drank water with stickyweed to become radiative. Finally we reached the ghastly grey mountain hidden in an artificial valley and surrounded by lovely green hills and a natural reserve. The grey powder is waste produced during the burning process at the Siekierki power plant visible in the distance.

Participants: Wojtek Mejor, Vahida Ramujkic, Aviv Kruglanski

Plants we found and ate:

• Tasznik pospolity, Capsella bursa pastoris, Capsella / Shepard’s purse
• Przytulia czepna, Galium aparine, Cleavers / Stickyweed
• Chrzan pospolity, Armoracia rusticana, Horseradish
• Czosnaczek pospolity, Alliaria petiolata, Mustard Garlic
• Rumianek pospolity, Matricaria chamomilla, Wild chamomile

Together with pixxe.org we organised an expedition and workshop on the fringes of Warsaw where survival specialist Bogdan Jaśkiewicz introduced us to the basics of recognising and collecting wild edible plants. We found and tried almost 50 edible species and prepared some herbal infusions on the spot. The trip was supported by the Herbologies and Foraging Network.

I have recently completed the redesign of Arkadia Bookshop’s website moving the entire site to Wordpress and integrating event news and picture gallries via Wordpress functionalities and plugins. There are still some details I struggle with but the main thing is working fine.

Zdecydowanie najdziwniejsze warsztaty jakie zdarzyło mi się prowadzić. Odbyły się na małej, ręcznie wykonanej kabinowej łódeczce między 12–16 lipca w ramach projektu „Do it on Deck!”. Wraz z dwoma Litwinami, Aurimasem i Juliusem, wykonaliśmy ręcznie trzy plakaty z mistycznymi odezwami do dzikich zwierząt, równocześnie spływając „Buratinasem” z Łomży do Warszawy. Użyte techniki to typografia (metalowe czcionki!), linoryt i szablon. Po rozklejeniu plakatów na drzewach w nadrzecznym lasku „Buratinas” podążył dalej w kierunku Belgii.

Definitely the weirdest workshops I have conducted so far. They took place on ”Buratinas” – a small, hand made cabin boat – between the 12–16th of July, as part of the ”Do it on Deck!” project. Together with two Lithuanians, Aurimas and Julius, we produced entirely by hand three different posters with obscure messages directed to wild animals, while at the same time floating down the Narew river from Łomża to Warsaw. We used letterpress (!), linocuts and stencils. After pasting the posters on the trees in a small forest by the river the ”Buratinas” continued its journey to Belgium.

Event organised in solidarity with the people of Gaza and supporting the ”Freedom Flotilla” initiative. The workshops were conducted on May 18th in Cafe Cykloza, Hoża str. 62, Warsaw. As a result a bilingual (pl/en) publication was produced with the title Terrorist’s Toolkit. More than 20 people took part in the workshops and 40 illustrations were conceived. The subject of the illustrations was a list of items banned from the Gaza Strip.
