Designs for Two Public Sculptures by Suzanne Treister Created for the city of Łódź

As part of the retrospective exhibition Suzanne Treister: Prophetic Dreaming, taking place from October 9, 2026, to March 15, 2027, at Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź, the artist has created two digital designs for sculptures intended for public space in Łódź. These artworks belong to a larger series of sculptures that could potentially materialise in cities around the world.

The first project is designed for the courtyard of Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź. The second sculpture is intended for the square in front of the Magda Department Store (Dom Handlowy Magda). In these works, the artist draws on the local ecosystem and mystical values, which symbolically seek to introduce an ethical dimension to the world system and contribute to the stabilization of the planetary ecosystem.

Among Suzanne Treister’s public sculpture projects is, among others, The Spaceships of Bordeaux (Les Vaisseaux de Bordeaux) (2013–2022), photographs and drawings of which are presented in the exhibition Suzanne Treister: Prophetic Dreaming. In 2025, the artist created AI Quantum Dreaming for her exhibition at Modern Art Oxford.

A photo of a courtyard surrounded by old tenement houses with a modern glass extension. In the center stands a large, magical sculpture made of stones, ice, and branches. At the very top, a globe glowing like a planet shines brightly. The whole center of the courtyard glows with a bright, mystical light. On the sides, purple objects are visible.

The image depicts an urban space in front of a bright, multi-story commercial building with the word "magda" on the roof. Overlaid on the right side of the composition is a semi-transparent green graphic showing a fantastical, organic sculpture entwined with vegetation, featuring mysterious bas-reliefs and a globe at the top.

(From a series of virtual public sculptures that could potentially materialise around the world.)

In the center is a multi-layered, surreal graphic in shades of purple, green, and pink that combines cosmic motifs (flying saucers, a planet), mystical elements (a sun/eye symbol), and technological features (a dotted grid) with elements of nature (a forest) and the human brain; above and below this composition, the words "Prophetic Dreaming" and "Prorocze śnienie" are visible.
