Soft Armatures brings together three artists whose practices trace the contours of memory, intimacy, and the porous boundary between the personal and the collective. Across sculpture and installation, Eliška Konečná, Marta Niedbał, and Nina Paszkowski engage with form as something both embodied and symbolic—fragile yet structured, intuitive yet charged with cultural and emotional residue.

The exhibition centers on the idea of “softness” not as vulnerability alone, but as a quiet, insistent force: a means of inhabiting space, making meaning, and rewriting histories through gesture and material. The artists build and dismantle forms that echo ritual, and the fragmentary nature of memory. Rather than presenting fixed narratives, their works operate as open systems—armatures through which memory, emotion, and material flow.

Through this shared sensibility, Soft Armatures invites viewers to consider how softness can shape resistance, how ornament can speak, and how intimacy can be both a refuge and a site of transformation. What emerges is a quiet poetics of care and complexity—an architecture made not of walls, but of folds, imprints, and echoes.
