Exhibition of Alina Slesinska's sculptures at the Królikarnia.

Alina Ślesińska (1922-1994) was long recognised for her beauty, her carefully emphasised resemblance to Brigitte Bardot, her wearing of clothes from French designers and her driving around Warsaw in the early 1960s in a yellow Renault sports car. Meanwhile, beyond Poland's borders, this sculptor achieved incredible international success; her Proposals for Architecture appeared in Parisian galleries alongside works by Eero Saarinen and André Bloc, and Oscar Niemeyer invited her to work with him in Brasília. To this day, there are many rumours, myths and confabulations about this remarkable woman, in the flood of which reliable information and objective opinions are drowning.

The fragment of Alina Ślesińska's work related to the design and shaping of space, presented at the Museum of Sculpture in Królikarnia, fascinates us on many levels. The juxtaposition of the artist's sculptural models and drawings from the period 1960-1989 sheds new light on her way of working with space. It proves that her legacy encompasses much more than the circulating eight plaster, and that her creative engagement in this area did not die out with the passing of the artist's fame. A pupil of Xawery Dunikowski, Slesinska crossed the boundaries between sculpture and architecture. She did this in a visionary and often controversial way. In one interview she said: Why should houses always be boxes? The sculptor should give them more individualised shapes, to influence visions of cities. I imagine contemporary sculpture as functional art. Functional sculpture can be architecture. Her proposals to this day strongly and directly affect the public's imagination, broaden the horizons of designers, and attack the modernist hierarchy of specialists. Ślesińska created spaces that bring people together, open up new perspectives, surprisingly closely aligning with Zofia and Oskar Hansen's idea of Open Form.

The exhibition Alina Slesinska: Sketches of Space is the result of a long-term exhibition and research project dedicated to Polish female sculptors, which has been running since 2022. Its aim is to build the basis for a distanced, fact-based, sympathetically critical analysis of their attitudes and work.
