#展覽故事：【走進波蘭人的房間】
*Scroll down to see English version
「波蘭人有種源於傷痛的黑色幽默。」
你有試過將蚯蚓斬開嗎？在波蘭，這是很多人在小時候的回憶。很多頑皮的小朋友會趁家長不在時在空地或花園這樣玩。
你知道假期對於大部分波蘭人是什麼嗎？是一整天由早到晚什麼都不做攤在沙灘上曬太陽。因此在夏天裡，波蘭的沙灘上，都擠滿了一堆堆躺著曬太陽放空的人們。
你認識波蘭這國家嗎？
曾經因被瓜分而亡國超過一百年，波蘭人在壓逼下一直保留民族傳統與文化；一戰後雖然成功復國，卻因二戰而再被德國和蘇聯瓜分。戰後，又陷入共產政府的極權統治……
Art is the common language of free spirit.
過去波蘭人不能用言語直接表達的訊息，他們都會以藝術的形式將思想廣泛傳播；1989 年共產政權倒台後，波蘭被壓抑多年的藝術領域如雨後春筍般萌發，讓波蘭成為了歐洲其中一個不能被忽視的新興藝術市場。
波蘭命運多舛，塑造了波蘭人獨特的民族性；過去數十年的共產極權統治和蘇聯式美學，現在成為了新晉藝術家的創作養份。現在，波蘭人的想法、創意，以及他的生活點滴，都能自由地呈現在他們的插畫、瓷器、傢俱、設計和藝術當中，當你走入 Room PLus，看著一件波蘭人的作品，就好像真正走入了一間波蘭人的房間，能夠感受到他們的生活一樣……
想知道這些作品背後的故事，快來看看吧 ：）
💁🏻♂️〖關於 #KLIP 展覽「Room PLus：波蘭插畫設計選展」〗
Room PLus 為一系列宣傳波蘭藝術與設計的活動，名字中的「PL」其實就是波蘭的縮寫，香港人對波蘭的藝術與設計仍然不太認識，但其中的獨特性和質量，其實值得港人重視。

“Polish people have a sense of black humour derived from pain……”
Poland had been partitioned for over 100 years, and the Polish people keep their tradition and culture under pressure. After the WW1, Polish people managed to reform their own country, and again it had been partitioned by Germany and Soviet Union during the WW2. After the War, Poland was under controlled by the communist’s totalitarianism…...
Art is the common language of free spirit, Polish people used to hide those message that they can’t tell directly in art, in order to spread their message secretly. After the fall of communist government in 1989, the art that were once hidden from the public eye began to spring up like mushrooms, making Poland become one of the fast growing new art market.
The hard time of Poland shapes the unique national character of Polish people, and the history of communist totalitarianism and soviet aesthetic, now become the inspirations of contemporary Polish artists. The thought, creativity and daily life of Polish people can freely present in their illustrations, porcelain, furniture, design and art. When you step into Room Plus and look at one of those art created by Polish artist, it is just like you step into a Polish people’s room and experience their daily life…...
〖 About #KLIP exhibition “Room Plus: Selected Illustrations & Design from Poland”〗
Room PLus is a series of events with the focus of promoting Polish art and design. The “PL” in “Room PLus” is an abbreviation for Poland. To most Hongkongers, art and design from Poland are still relatively unheard of, but its uniqueness and high quality certainly deserve more attention.
From the illustrations and designs selected by “Room Plus: Selected Illustrations & Design from Poland”, the Hong Kong audience will have an immersive experience, much akin to stepping into a room of a Polish, as they are enveloped in an air of interesting tales, humour, and the charming sense of Polish authenticity.
