Maria Colusi/Dominik Lejman When painting becomes attitude

Filharmonia Szczecin

November 24, 2021 – January 31, 2022

Although Dominik Lejman has repeatedly invited other artists, poets, performers and even paratroopers to cooperate in his work, the series of works with Maria Colusi is special, oscillating between dance and painting. It cannot be closed within any of these areas, and at the same time, represents each of them. The joint activities of Dominik Lejman and Maria Colusi began two years ago and are still ongoing. This unique collection of little dance forms, based on a logic of a projected loop, each dedicated to a particular painting, grows and expands with new contexts and meanings. However, only their essence remains unchanged: Dominik Lejman's painting as a projection stage and a dance form dedicated to each of the paintings choreographed and performed by Maria Colusi. Alina Kubiak The exhibition at Filharmonia Szczecin was important part of the on-going project 'When Painting Becomes Attitude' completed as a result of a cooperation between Dominik Lejman and dancer and choreographer Maria Colusi. Lejman's paintings serve as the projectable stage for the choreography and dance forms performed by Colusi, dedicated specifically to each painting.
