“Wednesday will pass, the week will be gone” – Katarzyna Wyszkowska’s new exhibition – takes on the rhythm of work and rest in an era of overwork.

The artist observes the daily refrains of the working day: office small talk, motivational slogans, the language of announcements, and Excel spreadsheets, which, under the guise of order, consume time, energy, and imagination.

Wyszkowska filters these elements through the aesthetics of the internet, margin notes, and corporate graphics, creating images and objects that balance on the border between ridiculousness and desperation.

“Wednesday will pass, the week will be gone” is both a collective postcard from the open space and a study of micro-resistance – where, during a coffee break, you can still find space for your own thoughts, and in the absurdity of your duties, you can see a crack through which a different order of things shines through.

It is a story about what happens between deadlines and paydays, between Monday planning and Friday’s “have a nice weekend” – about the constant struggle with time, which, although measured by the calendar, still slips out of control.
