MINORIA: TEXIS

A temporary structure
woven from
independent traces.

ORAC Gallery presents Józef Krzysztof Oraczewski and selected artists at Spectrum Chicago 2026. Anchored by Wzloty / Ascent, the presentation brings painting, sculpture, moving image and conceptual practice into focus. TEXIS names a temporary act of joining: distinct artistic languages, materials and ways of seeing brought into relation, each retaining its own autonomy. The Chicago presentation continues MINORIA chapters developed in Venice in dialogue with the 2026 Venice Biennale.

“The space between works is not empty. It is where the exhibition begins — and where it continues after it has ended.”
— Monika Turczyńska, Curator

Artists

Józef Krzysztof Oraczewski

ORAC Gallery Programme

Józef Krzysztof Oraczewski works across painting, relief and large-scale installation. Since the 1970s, his independent visual language has developed through light, structure, tension and the encounter between opposing forms.

Selected works

Wzloty / Ascent · The Wind I–II · Venice Whispers

Mike Baur

Chicago Presentation

Mike Baur is an American sculptor whose practice is grounded in weight, stability and construction. Working in the Chicago area for decades, he brings the logic of architectural scale into concentrated objects in industrial and natural materials.

Selected works

Outcrop · Void · Cloud

Victoria Fuller

Victoria Fuller is a Chicago-based artist with an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her What Knots series transforms garden hoses into three-dimensional line drawings informed by mathematical, molecular and traditional knot structures.

Selected works

Royal Red Knot · What Knots series

Joyce Yu-Jean Lee

Chicago Presentation

Joyce Yu-Jean Lee works across video, glass sculpture, photography and interactive installation. Her recent works bring kiln-formed glass and moving image together to examine climate care, attention and ecological interdependence.

Selected works

Shan Shui Mirage · Shan Shui Wildfire

Blaze Lojewski

Chicago Presentation

Blaze Lojewski is the creator of Psychism, an artistic concept centred on the perceptual activity of the viewer. Minimal structure, tactile surfaces and spatial ambiguity activate imagination, projection and memory.

Alicja Maciejko

Special presentation

The Monolith

A threshold
to inner space.

The Monolith extends Blaze Lojewski’s Psychism into a spatial encounter. The cinematic and cosmic image of the monolith becomes a structure for perception, imagination and the viewer’s inner field.

The sale of The Monolith will support Towarzystwo Opieki nad Ociemniałymi (the Society for the Care of the Blind) in Laski, Poland.
