The creative search is the most difficult to define in terms of the beginning and the end, in terms of both time and space, the psyche of the artist and the world around him. Although everyone walks the path of the creative process, individual differences mean that the only option is to chart your own path. Creativity. One way, a maze of possibilities. The ONE exhibition is about a meeting of artists searching for and exploring the subject of the unknown in their work. This is the fourth edition of the UNKNOWN project, where the exhibition is preceded by the artists’ discussion about the creative process of the presented works. This year’s UFO Art Gallery event was prepared together with Karpuchina Gallery from Prague.

Seti Setters is a fusion of improvised jazz and modular sonoristic explorations. Experimental tendencies are connected by a meaningful groove. The band’s repertoire is completely improvised, depending on the energy and light of the place. The group was born in 2020 during a three-day recording session under the auspices of the Association of Creators, giving birth of a spark between music, which gave rise to accidental journeys. Seti Setters never put on the same gig. The event was held as part of the 27th Krakow Summer Jazz Festival and accompanied the ONE exhibition.
