This brand, however fairly new conquered the fashion world and the extraordinary haute couture outfits won a lot of prices. Except for the possibility of purchasing the brand clothes of Luxkury, one may also see professional shoots from the catwalks and the session Glakur magazine, in
which the most prominent models pose in the Luxkury creations. A real treats for eyes, the photos are charming with gold and gemstones. A satisfied, feasted eye sight can rest for a while. Its time for the touch. The comfort and luxury present at the exhibition are contagious to everyone and to some extend satisfy the dreams about alive resembling a five stars hotel. Still, there is one condition: one shall not explore the content of the works exhibited, treat everything superficially and with an innate sense of
inanity. One shall rather the side on conformity and mind’s indolence. As while careful examination analyzing the content and form and concentration, it may turn out that the glimmer Is apparent.

The Curators
Artistic group created by the artists-curators, graduates of the Institute of Fine Arts at the Opole University. Since 2009, they have dealt with the organization of exhibitions (for themselves), the development of projects and a variety of artistic activities. In joint activities the girls focus on jokes and an absurd game of meanings. Artistic activities of the Curators tend to take the form of performance, happening, interventions and actions designed to stimulate interaction with the viewer. They are mostly inspired by the reality, which they are commenting in a light, funny and absurd way, often touching upon extremely important issues such as the commercialization of art, the mechanisms of modern art and the social role of the artist. Their curatorial project entitled „Luxury Kury” (“Luksusowe Kury”) was included in the program of the International Festival of Visual Art Inspiration / Glamour in 2010. The artists were also spotted in 2010 at the festival FAMA, where they were awarded the title of the Honorary Winner. They also run a blog
The group underwent several changes. Currently, it consists of: Maria Bitka, Anna Gądek, Elżbieta Gądek, Malwina Mielniczuk, Barbara Sztybel.
