PROJECT:
38.71574409016313, -9.154553761784655 | The project developed by Andrzej Rafalowicz is focused on a central movement : the action of transporting the artwork from the studio to the public environment – and then back to the gallery in another format. 
Around this propositions, there is the willingness to compare the natural and human interventions as part of the processes of shaping the aesthetics of the urban landscape. It is an invitation to look at the relationship between art, architecture and nature considering its invisible side - connected to its intensity, to its unmanifested potentialities, to the spatial and temporal superpositions that it carries.
