My Memory Isn’t Mine – Krupa Art Foundation, 2024-2025
Krupa Art Foundation, Wrocław
November 23, 2024 – March 2, 2025
Curator: Natalia Barczyńska
Artitsts: Paweł Baśnik, Radek Brousil, Sirah Foighel Brutmann & Eitan Efrat, Anaïs Chabeur, Ewa Doroszenko, Miłosz Flis, Mariia Lemperk, Gwendolyn Lootens, Mariusz Maślanka, Adam Rouhana, Kristina Sedlerova Villanen, Iza Opiełka, Hussein Shikha, Camila Sposati, Wiktoria, Barbara Żłobińska
The exhibition My Memory Isn’t Mine delves into the complex relationship between human memory and media in the digital age, exploring the boundaries between organic and mechanical memory. It examines how memories and memory itself are stored, represented, and communicated through contemporary media, revealing their integrality in both everyday support and potential threats. Central to this exploration are phenomena and traditions of inheritance, focusing on how memories and knowledge are passed down through generations, shaping the spiritual side of collective memory and identity. The works presented in the exhibition question the transmission of information, the inheritance of trauma, fluid definitions of domesticity, and belonging to geographical and ideological territories. They emphasize the importance of mindful archiving of materials, symbols, memories, and experiences in the era of digital communication.
Polifoniczny krajobraz | Polyphonic Landscape. Ewa Doroszenko, Jacek Doroszenko – BWA Olsztyn, 2024

Opening event: 6 Sep 2024, 6 pm
In works born out of a longing for a pristine landscape, Ewa and Jacek Doroszenko point to how digital media have taken over our perception of reality. These musings have much in common with Paul Virillo’s concept of the “square horizon,” which is discussed through the interposition of multiple screens, in the context of war, conflicts, and international relations, as a metaphor for the fragmented, pixelated experience of contemporary life, influenced by the proliferation of screens and urbanization. In an environment tired of disposability and immediacy of gratification, the Doroszenko duo lean toward sustainable methods of producing their works, often recycling and sampling previously produced images and sounds to create an alternative landscape. Reflecting on the contemporary relationship with the landscape, the exhibition is the artists’ response to the growing hypercommunication, hyperproduction, and hyperactivity.

The intermedia exhibition by duo Ewa Doroszenko and Jack Doroszenko consists of a series of photographs, unique photographic objects, a sound installation and video works, realized over the past years as part of Artist-in-Residence programs in Norway, Greece, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Spain and Portugal. The unifying theme of all the works is the curving perception of the natural landscape and questions about the shifting boundaries between the domains of nature and technology.
Using popular computer games, travel guides and other online sources, the artists reveal the dream of relaxing in an idyllic landscape, which is very common in the digital age. They look at a variety of landscapes based not only on visual aspects of reality, but equally the artists explore the usually overlooked sound environment.

In Dialogue with Ewa and Jacek Doroszenko, interview, Fakewhale Sagl, Switzerland, 2024
In this interview with Ewa and Jacek Doroszenko, we delve into the complex intertwining of their experiences from the real and virtual worlds in their art. Their works, displayed at Pragovka Gallery in Prague, explore the nuanced intersections between nature and technology through a mix of video, photography, and sound installations. In this double interview, we discuss their thoughts on how technological advancements shape their interpretation of natural landscapes and the impact of specific

Interviewer: Federica Zambeletti x KoozArch
Polish artists Ewa Doroszenko and Jacek Doroszenko have been extruding examples of digitally produced — and ubiquitously available — geolocational imagery, to point out its distortions and elisions; at the same time, they harness sound and the concept of soundscape ecologies to heal our relationship with the natural environment.

Ewa Doroszenko and Jacek Doroszenko Greif Alumni: Q&A
We periodically invite our alumni, artists we have featured in the past, to share their new work and projects with us. Ewa Doroszenko’s work was featured in several of our Guest Rooms as “Post HomoSapiens” curated by Monica Allende, “Die Welt ist schön” (The World is Beautiful) by Nathalie Herschdofer in 2018. We caught up with Ewa Doroszenko and her work partner Jacek Doroszenko to delve into their current projects “Overlooked Horizons” and “Impossible Horizon” respectively shown at Pragovka Gallery (Prague, CZ) and Foto Forum (Bozen, IT).

Ewa Doroszenko, Jacek Doroszenko – authors
To better understand the causes of the current environmental crisis, the artists look at the history of the Western tradition of landscape painting, in which the concept of natural landscape was defined according to the dominant worldview – as a detached component, outside the subject. In their works, Ewa Doroszenko and Jacek Doroszenko aim to question the separation between the issue – the observer – and the separated environment. More information at https://foto-forum.it

The audio-visual exhibition „Overlooked Horizons” features recent works by the Doroszenko duo exploring the relationship between the observer and the natural landscape. The large-format photographic prints, sound installations and video works presented during the exhibition are based on the artists’ insights from numerous real and virtual journeys. Just as in the late 18th century people travelled in search of „genius loci” places, sights and moods that transported them to another time and allowed them to distance themselves from everyday life, today the Doroszenko duo discovers landscapes with unique qualities by taking artistic journeys online and offline.
Acoustic Gestures | BWA Gallery in Bydgoszcz
Since 2014, as part of their international artist residencies, Ewa and Jacek Doroszenko have been creating unique scores in the form of video works and graphic installations. The resulting works have been presented by the artists in numerous exhibitions, including at the Witold Lutosławski National Forum of Music in Wroclaw, the Polish Institute in Düsseldorf, Cidade das Artes in Rio de Janeiro, Goldcorp Centre for the Arts in Vancouver. The audio-visual exhibition „Acoustic Gestures” at the BWA Gallery in Bydgoszcz displays the latest works by the Doroszenko duo, which emphasize the role of the sense of hearing in the process of experiencing the environment.
The exhibition is part of the Fonomo Music & Film Festival.

Unstable Oscillations | The Witold Lutosławski National Forum of Music
Ewa Doroszenko and Jacek Doroszenko’s audiovisual project consists of video works, large-format graphic installations and a sound installation. The visual form of the works presented results directly from the sound sphere. Revealing the acoustic space of reality, the duo experiments with new technologies, relevant to the modern digital age. The graphic installations illustrate the path that sounds material travels in music production, especially electronic music: recording, reproduction, deconstruction, frequency cutting, working with the spectrum, compression, looping and distortion.

The visual form of all the works shown in the exhibition results directly from their sonic layer. Through this chronological order of their artistic work, Ewa and Jacek Doroszenko draw attention to the need to give auditory perception an appropriate place in the predominantly visual contemporary culture. In the latest video, Jacek Doroszenko works with minimalist objects that play a four-part piece like traditional instruments, reminiscent of Witold Lutosławski’s “Jeux Vénitiens”. Other works by the artist are video scores in which the movement of the filmed figure determines the character of the musical composition played. Ewa Doroszenko confronts the acoustic environment through more remote references by translating selected sound events into a synthetic visual language. With the help of abstract black-and-white structures, the artist captures the sound spreading in time and space in a static form.

Photography+ Photoworks – Interview, 2022
Polish artists Ewa Doroszenko and Jacek Doroszenko met on a residency programme in Italy and have been married for over ten years. Both originally trained as painters, but now make work across the spectrum of contemporary media together and individually. They are inspired by a common interest in contemporary technological reality. Their most recent project, Bodyfulness, combines photographs and gif-files made by Ewa and an album of musical compositions by Jacek and considers the potentials and paradoxes of digital intimacy. Photography+ caught up with them to find out more.

Metascore of new gestures
The exhibition entitled Metascore of New Gestures is a review of joint artistic experiments carried out by Ewa and Jacek Doroszenko in 2016–2022. Wrocław Contemporary Museum presents sound installations, video works and a series of graphics on paper. The duo’s creative work stems from their fascination with the relations between sound, space and visuality. In this triad, acoustic phenomena constitute the basis for artistic work, but the space that determines the entire process is equally important, providing the activities with a performative aspect.

A WOMEN’S THING – Interview, 2022
Warsaw-based intermedia artist Ewa Doroszenko’s practice is a graphic showcase of blending classic photography with digital manipulation and traditional painting.
Doroszenko’s works are made with great attention to detail—and an emphasis toward aesthetics. Yet underneath the obvious layers of beauty, the viewer can find the hidden, deeper issues, as if Doroszenko wants to tell us that, after all, everything is much more complicated than it seems.
We spoke with Doroszenko about what her typical day as an artist looks like, how the people of her home country Poland are helping Ukrainians during the war, and how her grandparents’ history still has an influence today.

Skin – International Photography Exhibition, Membrana, Cankarjev dom, Ljubljana (SI), 2022
The exhibition Skin unveils different photographic practices, touching the topic of skin, be it gently or roughly, from its superficial mindfulness, its microscopic structures, to its social embodiment – in the economy of the gaze, it oscillates between the desired and demanded, exposing physicality, the relations between the real and the created, between immersion and deconstruction.

Ewa Doroszenko. Unreal beauty in all its splendor.
In her latest works, Polish artist Ewa Doroszenko focuses on the risks associated with beauty apps and the distortion of virtual beauty models. Ewa Doroszenko’s photographic work is based on manual and digital manipulation of images. The results are sensual and intriguing collages that address the pulsating issues of contemporary life, particularly the importance of the image in an increasingly technological reality and the fluidity of current standards of female beauty…

The second exhibition of Ewa and Jacek Doroszenko in Propaganda is a real untruth or an untrue reality. Through multiplied transformations of elements taken out from the real and virtual worlds, they created tangible evidence that today’s life, consciousness, and subjectivity extend far beyond our senses and travel through the areas of the medialized digital world.

The title of the presentation, THE DRAWERS, refers both to the place as well as to the subjects of the show. The majority of works were made on paper, although drawing is not the only medium the artists utilize. The works showcased at the exhibition aptly represent the artists’ styles and their manifold interests and activities: Rafał Dominik’s interest in pop culture, Ewa Doroszenko’s digital collages inspired by her many travels, Ewa Iwaniuk and Szymon Szewczyk’s exploration of the ordinary, Maria Jeglinska and Piotr Krzymowski’s use of found images, Maess’ expressive hand-drawn compositions, Magdalena Lapinska’s playful paintings and to Michał Gayer’s intriguing watercolours and ink sketches.
