ADAM KALINOWSKI’s COLOR PATH Transforms Public Space in Poznań
Color Path (Ścieżka Koloru) is a temporary public art installation by Adam Kalinowski, presented at Pasaż Quadro in Poznań, Poland. On view from September 12th to October 26th, 2025, the project is organized by Galeria Miejska Arsenał w Poznaniu and produced by The Tadeusz Kalinowski Art Foundation.
The installation measures 2700 x 480 x 20 cm and is constructed from 17 tons of colored aggregates in grades ranging from 0.5 to 5 mm, set within a plywood frame. The material composition forms a tactile surface designed for direct interaction, encouraging visitors to walk across it, ideally barefoot.

COLOR PATH is made of Color, Motion, and Collective Presence
Movement across the piece continually reshapes its surface, producing shifting patterns of color and texture. This interaction transforms the installation into an evolving landscape, shaped jointly by its material qualities and the actions of its participants.
The work by artist Adam Kalinowski investigates how public space can be altered through sensory engagement, collective interaction, and temporary disruption of routine. By framing participation as an integral part of the design, Color Path highlights the relationship between material, body, and shared environment.
