Beton Collective is a curatorial and artistic duo, Joseph Puceković (Croatia) and Katie Szyszko (Poland).
Beton (Croatian, Polish) means concrete as in the building material. Beton is strong, resistant, durable, and combines all four elements: water, air, fire, and earth. Beton Collective draws from these qualities in their approach to both artistic and curatorial work.
Joseph’s and Katie’s first collaboration was a mixed media installation, Hyrc Krabowski (2022), exhibited at the Pocket Gallery in Folkestone. Their shared love of placing art outside the borders of a traditional gallery space led them right to the doors of the Grand, a legendary Folkestone venue famous for its cultural past. They are currently managing The Green Room at the Grand.
As artists, they are exploring different medias with a particularly strong interest in photography and installation. As curators, they’re in the process of expanding their Beton Gallery beyond the borders of their Hawkinge house.
Their work investigates the topics of immigration, belonging, language and identity, love, loss, body, and desire.
