On World Collage Day<\/strong>, we join various collage art events organised around the world. This time, two renowned collage artists are inviting you to join them at the collage table. In the world of contemporary collage, Marta Janik and Maria Filek stand out as two fascinating voices – each weaving together fragments of reality into something surprisingly new, poetic and profound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, Janik and Filek represent two sides of the same coin: one introspective and intimate, the other explosive and colourful. Their work pushes the boundaries of what collage can be, reminding us that sometimes the most powerful stories are told in fragments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop (called “More or less”) has been specially prepared for World Collage Day. The artists, who have methodical and pedagogical experience, provide all the materials: hand-made papers by Maria Filek and old albums and postcards from the collection of Marta Janik. During the meeting, we will perform exercises to develop our imagination, using various cutting techniques to compose our own worlds. We will glue: sometimes less, sometimes more. It will be funny, it will be serious. Just like in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop will take place at the \u2018\u015arodek\u2019 gallery, a unique place on the map of Warsaw. At the same time, \u015arodek is a vintage shop, a place with spirit and verve, full of original clothes and objects located in Praga-P\u00f3\u0142noc, right next to the Museum of Warsaw Praga, at the entrance to the legendary Bazar R\u00f3\u017cyckiego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria Filek has been taking part in group exhibitions organised by the Wadowice Art Community since 1995. She has presented works in international \u2018ex libris\u2019 competitions: Gliwice 2005, Malbork 2007, \u0160iauliai (Lithuania) 2008, Burgstadt (Germany) 2014. In 2022 she showed her collage at the Birr Vintage Week and Arts Festival in Ireland during the international collage exhibition \u2018Migration\u2019. Her collages have been printed by, among others, Maintenant magazine published by Three Rooms Press in New York. Her last solo exhibition took place at the Wadowice Cultural Centre in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is currently interested in creating collages, which she composes using newspaper cuttings and – uniquely – handmade graphic materials. She feels comfortable working in small graphic forms. Her favourite technique is etching. She has also been interested in ceramics for several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maria Filek: \u2018Creating collages can be compared to an arduous journey through a world of fantasy, associations or through a specific theatre of events. In order to create a collage, it is necessary to collect interesting and peculiar materials which, when combined, will create a new image and convey an idea, giving it a unique form.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n
