In the exhibition “The Fabric of Lublin” the photographies are contextualized together with the works by Ulrike Grossarth, who teaches “Comprehensive Art Work” at the Dresden Art Academy. Her works as well as her teaching have been characterized by her understanding of Europe as a place of culture and memento. Since 2005, Ulrike Grossarth has intensively dealt with Kiełsznias' photographies and the city of Lubin. Carefully, Ulrike Grossarth tries to transform the historic photo material in her sculptural work and in her graphic animations. Details of the photographies, among them advertisement boards for fabrics, textiles and appliances, which determined the street scape, become abstract elements, but are also turned into concrete links to a lively culture and society whose absence is still recognisable today.
