Polish artist Monika Sosnowska is known for her ambitious architectural and sculptural installations, which simultaneously embrace and resist the spaces they occupy. Sosnowska´s exhibition will obliquely reference her hometown of Warsaw and the economic shift that has occurred since the collapse of communism in 1989 to the present day.
Characteristically, the artist´s sculptures recall familiar objects transformed in some way. Such as, dysfunctional stairways that join one floor to the other yet serve no purpose, or large-scale metal cubes and girder structures twisted and wedged into existing gallery spaces. Her exhibition will present a series of new painted steel sculptures, redolent of broken market vendor stands, referencing actual forms salvaged from Jarmark Europa Stadium, originally the site of a large market that sold everything from imitation Nike training shoes to pirated CDs and DVDs. The market opened with the onset of capitalism and ended last year when the stadium was destroyed to make way for a new national stadium that was built in time to host Euro 2012.
