Lou Jaworski's (*1981 in Warsaw, PL) title HEATING UP COOLING DOWN refers to the rapid change of news, crises and technologies and presents an exhibition that eludes this fast pace. Through his reduced visual language and the use of marble, the artist achieves a supratemporality in his works and creates a universal space for the viewer, in which the haptic presence of the material unfolds a mystical component reminiscent of digital spaces and their grids and 3D renderings. The omnipresence of marble as CNC-milled crystalline floor sculptures as well as an image carrier for UV pigment printing illustrates its monolithic power, which transcends our understanding of time, carries millennia-old traces within, and at the same time acquires a digital notion through Jaworski's conceptual interventions.
