opening THE PICTURE, WHICH GROWS on May 22, 2011 in Tadeusz Suminski’s appartement Warsaw
Fundacja Archeologii Fotografii presents:
Nicolas Grospierre / Tadeusz Sumiński
The Picture which grows
Part of the Living Archives series
Project launch and an afternoon picnic:
May 22 (Sunday), 3.00 pm – 8.00 pm
Venue: the apartment of Tadeusz Sumiński,
Ulica Koszykowa 1, Apt. 82 and in the green courtyard
The picture which grows will be on view from May 23 to June 11, 2011
Mondays to Fridays, 4.00 pm - 8.00 pm, Saturdays 12.00 – 5.00 pm
Koszykowa 1, Apt. 82, Warsaw
The picture which grows, a project by Nicolas Grospierre (b. 1975) realized in the apartment of the photographer Tadeusz Sumiński (1924-2009), is a new event in the Living Archives series, organized by the Archeology of Photography Foundation, which seeks to establish a creative dialogue between the classic figures of Polish photography and contemporary artists.
The picture which grows is an attempt at confronting the ideas of tidiness and untidiness, the static and the dynamic, order and entropy, in the form of a photographic installation. It is also a clash of the order informing the archive of Tadeusz Sumiński and a method that aims to disturb this order. The installation consists of Sumiński’s archive accompanied by 800 photographs of the apartment and the archive taken by Nicolas Grospierre and mounted on the walls, ceiling and the floor. Grospierre photographed the interior of a room, made a print, mounted it in the same room in order to photograph it, develop, and photograph again, repeating the process up to a point when the room was completely filled with photographs of itself.

Paper Planes - Opening at Phase 2, ARUP, London, on March 30, 2011
Nicolas Grospierre likes to probe the relationship between architecture and photography by challenging the accustomed norms of 2 and 3-dimensionality and the parameters of different media. With his camera he investigates the concept of a building as well as the architectural process. For this exhibition Grospierre has chosen the Aviation Museum in Cracow as his subject and created a new body of work, including a series of large paper planes made from his photographs, which act as a playful homage to the architect's design.
Phase 2, ARUP, 8 Fitzroy Street, London, W1T 4BJ, UK
Opening: March 30, 2011 at 6.30 PM. Installation on show until July 1.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
On view from March 3 through April 2, 2011, the new exhibition One Thousand Doors, No Exit features two projects by Warsaw-based artist Nicolas Grospierre, TATTARRATTAT (2010) and Hydroklinika (2004). The subjects could not be less similar: a 14th century Venetian palazzo and an abandoned Soviet-era spa treatment complex in Lithuania. Taken together, however, these projects show Grospierre's persistent interest in the tension between perception and truth in architecture, as well as architecture's capacity to stand as an artifact of ideology.The Graham's presentation of TATTARRATTAT is made possible in part by the Signum Foundation.
