Agnieszka Polska
Agnieszka Polska (*(born 1985 in Lublin, Poland, lives and works in Berlin) is most well known for her analytical, hypnotic, and multi-layered video installations. At the core of her practice lies the consideration of the individual within the collective. Indeed, often reflecting on her own position as an artist and the function of the artist within society, Polska excavates the ethical ambiguities that the individual faces as situated in, yet producer of, the shared reality that we experience together. Her works expose the deep metaphysical oscillations between universality and being, as well as the mechanics behind such movements - image, technology, language, poetry, imagination, and perception.
Recent solo exhibitions: Polska/ Ziętek, Dzielna Foundation, Warsaw (2023); A Thousand Year Plan, Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw (2021); The New Sun, Heide Museum of Modern Art, Melbourne (2021); Where Have You Been So Long?, La Casa Encendida, Madrid (2021); and The New Sun, FRYE, Seattle (2020), among others.
Her works have been presented in various exhibitions and screenings: 24th Biennale of Sydney, Sydney (2024); 14th Shanghai Biennale, Shanghai (2024); MUDAM Luxembourg, Luxemburg (2023); Kunsthalle Bratislava, Bratislava (2023); Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, Rome (2023); Belvedere 21, Vienna (2022); Baltic Triennial 14, Vilnius (2021); Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius (2021); Tokyo Photographic Art Museum, Tokyo (2019); 6th Athens Biennale, Athens (2018); 57th Biennale di Venezia; Venice (2017); New Museum, New York (2016); National Art Gallery, Prague (2016); MoMA, New York (2015); Tate Modern, London (2012) among others.
