Introduction to the catalog-Organizers

"Manufacture of Satire" is a National Satirical Competition organised annually by the Town of Żyrardów since 2010. Its aim is to popularise through art the unique industrial history of the town, which grew around the largest linen factory in Europe at the turn of 19th and 20th centuries. The proverbial “window on the world” for the factory and the town was the Warsaw-Vienna Iron Road, leading through the then Ruda Guzowska. This year's sixth edition of the competition, whose theme was “Railway”, refers to the 170th anniversary of the famous “Wiedenka”, which falls this year. In the winning work of Zbigniew Woźniak from Zduńska Wola, we can see an unwinding linen thread turning into a railway “thread”, on which a train rushes into the world. In addition to its artistic value, the work carries a clear message about the significance of the railway line for the Żyrardów linen factory. Among the winners there were also artists from Żyrardów. For a triptych depicting railway stations in Warsaw, Żyrardów and Vienna, Zbigniew Osiński received the Award of the Mayor of Żyrardów, Wojciech Jasiński. One of the honorary distinctions went to Franciszek Bernard Buczny. The post-competition exhibition presenting the works of the contestants is enriched by the works of artists nvited outside the competition from the Czech Republic, Italy, Ukraine, Germany, Hungary and Luxembourg. In total, 53 artists take part in the exhibition presented in the “Resursa” Gallery. There are both works of recognised artists with great creative output, and works of debutantes who are just starting their love affair with art. Each time these are extraordinary works which tell the history of our town in a witty, often perverse way. Just like in previous years, selected works are also displayed in an outdoor gallery at Okrzeja street in Żyrardów.
