Paulina Olowska presents a new series of paintings and a video work in Haus Proud, the final exhibition at Metro Pictures before its permanent closure at the end of the year. Olowska considered the special context of the exhibition while producing the works. Informed by her research into women-run exhibition spaces and schools, such as the Women’s School of Planning and Architecture in the United States and the Zakopia?ska Koronka Klockowa (“Zakopane Bobbin Lace School”) in Poland, the paintings adapt imagery from her ever-expanding collection of vintage fashion advertisements and photographs to continue her longstanding interest in expanding the representation of women in art history.
