Vi Lever På Polsk is an artist-run gallery founded in 2020 by two Polish artists based in Copenhagen: Magda Buczek and Bartek Arobal Kociemba.
Vi Lever På Polsk (“We are Living in Polish”) is a phrase in Danish refering to the Polish rural emigration that had come to Denmark in the XIX century and could not get legally married in Denmark due to their catholic religion. Therefore “to live in Polish” means to live without formal marriage. The gallery’s program interprets it as investigating the states outside of the comfort zone and Danish hygge: non-normativity, migration, and otherness.
During this year's Juxtapose VLP will present a group of artists working with multimedia: drawing, painting, textile, photography, video, and performance, among which we'll host our signature Fire Ritual and Queer Meditations.
