"Hurr durr"

Cemeteries are more about remembering than about death. Besides, Kantor's Death Theater itself is a show about constantly revisiting the past, about memories, about never-healed traumas.

"Hurr durr" is a term taken from Internet forums, meaning great, mostly unjustified outrage. Karolina Jarzębak's exhibition is her institutional debut, remaining in dialogue with Kantor's aesthetics and Cricoteka's permanent exhibition. The artist explores visuals outside the mainstream - non-designer and non-Instagram, sometimes even shameful. "Hurr durr" provocatively suggests that these are what we are and they will be left behind. Perhaps contemporary culture will leave behind not the ruins of skyscrapers, but rather a sadly funny meme or a fragment of an online argument.
