A ∩ B - a formula derived from the mathematical theory of multiplicity, defining the common part of sets. The exhibition A ∩ B is a survey of works by male and female artists working in the broad spectrum of abstract art. Our goal is to illustrate both their individual approaches and to show on which spaces their work intersects.

The works on display are a collection of non-figurative, authorial worlds. Viewing them, however, we confront the fact that although they were created on the basis of abstract concepts, they function in our common, material reality.

The A ∩ B exhibition is the largest survey of the wealth of abstract art in Poland.

Participating in the exhibition are:

Exhibition curators: Estera Lipman, Julia Latko
