christian berst art brut x thanks for nothing
This Friday, we had the pleasure of welcoming students from La Renverse school. Organized by Thanks for Nothing, this guided tour introduced students to the world of the exhibition tomasz machciński: american dream, I made it all because of you.
Founded in 2017, Thanks for Nothing mobilizes artists and the world of culture by organizing artistic and solidarity projects with a concrete impact on society.
Tomasz Machciński (1942–2022), a war orphan and Polish laborer, dedicated 50 years of his life to creating over 22,000 photographic self-portraits. Ten years before Cindy Sherman, Machciński embarked on an intense quest for identity. Recently discovered, this monumental work has been acclaimed at the Rencontres d’Arles, Paris Photo, the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, and the Independent Art Fair in New York.
- According to the artist’s wishes and in agreement with the Machciński Foundation, only 2,500 photographs from the estate will eventually be available for sale.
