Vielen Dank an den Künstler Wojciech Kosma für seinen Vortrag Chujowe systemy zawsze padają & die Arbeitsbesprechungen mit unseren Teilnehmer*innen innerhalb des Studioprogrammes am BAI | Kunstschule, Kunstinkubator, Artist in Residence und Live Onlinekurse & -klassen in Berlin.
„spalarnia is Polish performance artist Wojciech Kosma’s latest musical project. With a background in composition and computer science, Kosma previously had a successful career in contemporary art exploring love, pleasure, intimacy and gender through acclaimed pieces performed in places such as Tate Modern, London, Chisenhale Gallery, London Museum of Modern Art Warsaw, Volksbühne, Berlin and Interstate Projects, NYC, among others.
With spalarnia, he continues to explore these themes through poetic avant-pop tracks that draw equally from traditional Polish folk and current dance music vocabulary. His composition style relies heavily on deceptively simple yet highly effective hooks, repetitions that often sound like incantations and sparse instrumentation. Skilfully merging together Eurodance, R&B, trap, neo-folk and traditional Polish music, Kosma creates hypnotic earworms brimming with emotion. His poetic lyrics explore themes such as intimacy, gender and political oppression, often directly addressing discrimination and inequalities in his native Poland.
spalarnia is seeking to establish deeply personal new mythologies rooted in Polish culture and tradition while promoting a queer, secular and anti-nationalist sentiment. spalarnia’s first self-titled tape was released on Dym Records in July 2020. In March 2022 he contributed his track ”uchodźczyni” to We Stand with Ukraine, a benefit compilation from the eastbloc antifascist sound alliance network. His debut album USTA is out in May 2022.“ (Text: Courtesy Wojciech Kosma)
