A real aircraft turned inside out is the centrepiece of the Flight
project. This sculpture by Roman Stańczak will be presented at
the Polish Pavilion during the 58th International Art Exhibition —
La Biennale di Venezia.
Resulting from the artist’s consistently applied strategy of turning
objects of everyday use inside out, the piece is a spectacular
monument to the paradoxes of modernity and a commentary
on Poland’s transition to capitalism. The exhibition, curated by
Łukasz Mojsak and Łukasz Ronduda, organised by the Zachńta —
National Gallery of Art, opens on 11 May 2019.

The interior of the Polish Pavilion in Venice will feature a
sculpture by Roman Stańczak, an artist renowned for his
deconstructions of the material order of objects that consist in
turning them inside out. This time, Stańczak applies this artistic
procedure to a mid-sized aircraft. Its interior, complete with
cockpit and on-board equipment, as well as passenger seats,
will emerge on the outside, while the wings and fuselage will be
wound inside, to the interior of the sculpture. (excerpt)
