A ∩ B - a formula from mathematical set theory, defining the intersection of sets. The exhibition A ∩ B is a review of works by artists working across a broad spectrum of abstract art. Our goal is to illustrate both their individual approaches and to show where their creative spaces overlap.

The presented works are a collection of non-figurative, original worlds. However, when viewing them, we are confronted with the fact that although they were created on the basis of abstract concepts, they function in our shared, material reality.

The exhibition A ∩ B is Poland's largest overview of the richness of abstract art.

The following are participating in the exhibition:

Exhibition curators: Estera Lipman, Julia Latko
