Announcing representation
Galeria Wschód is pleased to announce representation of Linda Lach (b. 1995, Warsaw, Poland).
Linda Lach’s practice explores topics of recurrent translations and intimacy through performative sculptures, installations, video and poetry utilizing materials such as wood, leather, cotton, plastic. Her material gestures expand the presence and extend the social function of sculpture and performance by focusing on atemporality, self-exploitation and acts of brutality, which exist beyond the categories of safety and uncertainty. Concerned with the current political peril of Eastern Europe Lach, through her practice, navigates the ongoing symbolic dissolution and engages the inevitable reactionary reterritorialization of our reality.
Linda will be participating at Wschód’s residency program in the Naples’ space this year. In 2027 she will hold her first solo exhibition with the gallery.

Announcing representation
Galeria Wschód is pleased to announce representation of Antonia Brown (b. 1989, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa).
Antonia Brown’s practice develops through sculpture, writing and film. In her immersive material technique, she reformulates and renegotiates the means of affective reproduction. Brown’s works embody a tension with familial and collective histories tying into feminist critique of gender, voice, and presence. Her practice subverts and problematises violent logic of the pastoral through the insertion of inconsistencies and misinterpretations, which she takes on as form of refusal.
Artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery opens in mid-November 2026.
