The catalogue »Stoffe aus Lublin / Bławatne z Lublina / Fabrics from Lublin« presents Ulrike Grossarths artistic examination of the Polish-Jewish history of Lublin. Her starting point is the photo series recorded by Stefan Kiełsznia in the mid-1930s in the Jewish quarter of Lublin. Ulrike Grossarth first came across these photographs in 2006. During the last couple of years she has devoted an entire body of work to this historical collection of images. In her paintings, as in her spatial works and drawn animations, Ulrike Grossarth conducts a subtle transformation of the historical photographical material. Details taken from the images, among them most notably motives of the billboards for fabrics, textiles, and everyday appliances that dominate the street scenes, become abstract emblems, or are transformed into objective indices of a lively culture and society, whose absence continues to persist as a vacancy until today. As Ulrike Grossarth explains her approach: »The production of artworks is secondary for me; I am interested in generating truly experienceable, accessible and radically visual spaces of thought.«

In the mid-1930s, the Polish photographer Stefan Kiełsznia recorded five streets in the Jewish quarter of Lublin. He recorded the streets house by house, each time photographing the lower storeys with their small bars, stores and workshops. Kiełsznias detailed images show the window displays and the hand-painted billboards above the shop entrances; they show the faces of the people hurrying past, their clothes, their postures, their movements. It is the animate everyday itself that is present here in all its particularities and that constitutes the special atmosphere of each image. This is why Kiełsznias photo series is such a unique source of the Polish-Jewish life in Lublin only few years before the Holocaust. The publication Ulica Nowa 3 originated as an initiative of the artist Ulrike Grossarth and constitutes a catalogue of the entire known inventory of the photographs. For the first time, all 145 existing images from Stefan Kiełsznias street series are made available in printed form. Essays on the photo-historical classification of these pictures as well as on the Jewish history of Lublin over the centuries allow the viewer to learn more about the context of the photographs origin and the record of the everyday which they offer.
