ESPRONCEDA – Institute of Art & Culture is pleased to present Stored for a While, a solo exhibition by Filip Wierzbicki-Nowak, a Polish artist currently in residence in Espronceda. The exhibition is part of the program NEB & INCLUSIO, supported by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute and the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of Poland.
Through paintings on raw canvas, photographs, prints, video, and a site-specific installation, the exhibition explores the passage of time, the relationship between nature and urban transformation, and the emotional connections to the places we inhabit and remember. The project combines new works developed during his residency in Catalonia with material created in previous residencies in Poland, Germany, Iceland, Portugal, and Belgium.
Collectively, these works invite the viewer to reflect on memory, technology, nature, and cultural transformation, bridging personal experience with universal concerns.
Filip Wierzbicki-Nowak (Poznań, 1985) is a visual artist and associate professor at the Magdalena Abakanowicz University of the Arts Poznań. His interdisciplinary practice spans painting, video, installation, and site-specific actions, focusing on themes such as identity, the fragility of time, and the fading of cultures. He has exhibited extensively across Europe and internationally, with works included in various public and private collections. www.filipwierzbicki.pl
The exhibition is part of NEB & Inclusio 2025, an annual artistic research initiative led by ESPRONCEDA and inspired by the New European Bauhaus, focusing on sustainability, social justice, and cultural innovation through interdisciplinary artistic practices.
