The catalogue accompanies the exhibition Piotr Szyhalski: We Are Working All the Time! (forthcoming), which will be the first exhibition featuring works from across Szyhalski’s extraordinary career to be critically considered together. Central to this project, this catalogue includes long overdue new scholarship on Szyhalski’s work and some 250 images. The six texts offer reflections and thoughts from varying perspectives, making the work not only more accessible, but also placing Szyhalski in the larger, international context of contemporary art from the 1980s to today.
