until 31.10. | #5135ARTatBerlin | Persons Projects shows from Saturday, 11. September 2026 (Opening: 10.05.) the exhibition “Rhizome” by the artist Paweł Książek.
As part of Berlin Art Week 2026, Persons Projects is presenting Rhizome, a solo exhibition by Paweł Książek, bringing together the black-and-white drawings of his Narrations series and a selection of new paintings. The exhibition unfolds as a collection of ideas, images, and associations rather than a single, linear story. Visual form and language enter into dialogue, creating a space where the visual and the written coexist in tension and resonance.
The title Rhizome refers to the philosophical concept developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, describing an open structure that develops in many directions without a fixed beginning or end. Książek’s exhibition follows this principle: each work remains autonomous while forming part of a wider network of thoughts, memories, and references.
Moving between figuration and abstraction, the Narrations drawings combine fragments of bodies, faces, mechanical forms, textures, and undefined landscapes with text. The accompanying words do not explain the visual forms but exist alongside them as parallel forms of thought. In his paintings, layers of translucent color, blurred contours, and subtle shifts of light create atmospheric surfaces from which flames, faces, and everyday objects emerge and dissolve. Across both drawing and painting, Książek’s precise control of line, tone, and light gives the works a remarkable intensity and presence.
Opening: Thursday, 10. September 2026, 6 – 10 pm.
Exhibition dates: Friday, 11. September – Saturday, 31. October 2026
