unsure delicate on a precipice that’s cracking closer entwined gentleness giving strength beware of breaking it will be something unknowns become familiar as they are Looking forward to fragile hug Bogna Luiza Wiśniewska (b.1988, Poland) is a soft-hearted creature who lives and works in Helsinki, where she maintains an arts practice that fosters cozy safe spaces and good company, bringing people together through painting, exhibition-making, cooking, and hosting. Her recent project was thinking about (and reconciling anxieties around) guilty pleasures; owning your needs and cravings; and learning through peculiarities, obsessions, and infatuation. She is pondering about care and kindness in relation to working as an artist. Fragile Hug is her first solo show in Helsinki . Currently working together with Katie Lenanton on collaborative durational project Weathering.
