Yes / Body 1
Yes / Freedom
Marcin Paprota / Apostasy /100×100 cm / oil on canvas / Dungarvan / Ireland / 2020
The artist presents apostasy as a withdrawal, freeing himself from what religious institutionalism imposes. He does not want to be part of a religion that has contributed in the past to harming, murdering others in the name of God. The painting is full of expression, but also peace, solace, acceptance of the choice made, a sense of consent with one’s own feelings.
Yes / Music GoGo Penguin
GoGo Penguin has been hailed as the “Radiohead of British Jazz”. Experimental, beautiful music. The band is from Manchester, England: pianist Chris Illingworth, bassist Nick Black, drummer Rob Turner. They mesmerize with perfection, interesting arrangements that combine elements of electronic, classical, jazz, rock, trip-hop music. Get carried away… because it’s WORTH it.

“(…) meatiness is associated with a complete unveiling of the experience, because it is a certain attitude in which we accept a world without cover, one could say: without skin. We allow impressions to sink into us as deeply as they themselves can collapse without encountering any opposition or resistance on our part.” Jolanta Brach-Czaina “Cracks in existence”
Yes / Sadness as a background for reflection
Sadness as one of the basic emotions is the background for reflection, sensitization and self-insight. May this detention be the result of strengthening our sense of love. (Marcin Paprota)

(…) helplessness, embarrassment, downed girl’s head, immobilization in a cobweb of unexepared gestures. Who is called to exist? A copy of a character living somewhere, a reflection of a photo, an artist’s fantasy or a creation of being a pop culture? (Baroness)
Yes Music Raffaele Grimaldi
Raffaele Grimaldi is an Italian pianist, composer, conductor and producer. He started to play the piano when he was a child. His work is permeated by directness, emotionality, striking intimacy, sensitivity. I value Grimaldi’s openness to various musical currents and an experimental approach.
YES Conversation
A frank, enriching, developing meeting with another man. Exchange of
experiences, curiosity, sharing. The spectrum of emotions. A sense of
closeness, distance and balance. Body language, gestures, looks.
