Double Q is thrilled to announce Ewa Partum's first solo exhibition in Asia and with the gallery, opening on 18 September 2025. The artist will be present.

Ewa Partum (born 1945 in Grodzisk Mazowiecki, Poland) is one of Poland’s most prominent conceptual artists from the turn of the 1960s and 70s, and was a forerunner of feminist art in Poland. She has created performances, activities in public space, experimental films, and visual poetry. 

Since 1969, Partum has been engaged in linguistic activities in an effort to discover a new artistic language. In the early 1970s, Partum conducted several performances in which she scattered letters from well-known works of literature in public space. Her most famous piece ‘Active Poetry’ (1971) was described at the time by the literary critic Marek Ławrynowicz as revealing ‘that a poet’s activity does not have to be reduced only to the verbal sphere, but can have a situational character as well’. The concept marked a turning point in Partum’s career and is one with which she has continued to play in order to critique the means and modes of textual production.
