Tailor's mannequin is not a real tailor's mannequin, but its form sculpted out of a noble material of marble. Thus, it is not ready-made that became an artwork through the artist's intervention (choice). It is his true product, also in the material sense. Work is what the artist proposes it to be, and not that which it promise during the preliminary inspection. Or, maybe, it is something that seems to be proposed by an artist. He continues to multiply questions that are not only about art but also about reality itself. Are works shown in the exhibition art objects, their equivalents or even fakes? And, even if they are "fakes" through their conception, are they not given the status of the work of art? Are they less artiful than Duchamp's urinal (after all, they are made not "ready") or 17th century trompe l'oeil (they reflect the world in a less precise way)? Or, maybe they are more artful? Equally vague is the situation arising by presenting objects in a gallery space, almost in a museum-like setting. Is it an art exhibition, or just its staging? If it's a staging, why it is so? Does it happen through the facts - works, or the artist's intentions?

Robert Szczerbowski (read: Scherbowski) Conceptual artist, painter, writer, born 1959, lives and works in Warsaw, Poland. He started his artistic activity as a writer. However, he consistently moved away from the sphere of language, increasingly incorporating visual elements into his work. "The artist builds his own fictional dimension, regardless of the medium he uses. His books, objects, paintings and films are subject to the deconstruction of learned ways of perception. They break illusions, often evoking the feeling of absurdity. He uses the language of "high-tech" and analyzes its impact on the inner space of man, his spiritual needs and imagination. In objects and installations Szczerbowski uses, among others, hermetic computer programming languages, and in paintings refers to fractal geometry. In most works, he strives to obliterate the subjective element, trying to authenticate their fictional and apocryphal reality as much as possible. Some of his books were published anonymously, and many artistic works are simulacra. He creates films that reveal the mechanisms of the hypnotic reality of mainstream cinema. His versatile work is characterized by the trickster's approach. " (D. Misiuna Chaosmos) His "cybercanvas" (a cycle called Fractal paintings) constitute an attempt to relate painting to modern-day mathematics and geometry, and, on the other hand, to the computer virtual space that has become the new reality of the digital era. Szczerbowski represents structures composed of pixels painted with oil and acrylic on canvas. He is inspired by a similarity between forms obtained through purely mathematical operations and with the use of a machine - and motifs from the realm of human imagination, manifested once in, among other things, art and religion.
