Today some great news for the art lovers!<\/p>\n

Nearly twenty years after Katarzyna Kozyra<\/strong>, one of the most interesting and well-known Polish artists of the past two decades, made her debut, the National Museum in Krak\u00f3w<\/strong> is presenting a monographic exhibition of her works.<\/p>\n

It includes, amongst others, her “Bathhouse” and “Men\u2019s Bathhouse”, “Blood Ties”, “The Rite of Spring” and “Casting”, as well as a selection of films from her “In Art, Dreams Come True” cycle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Kozyra\u2019s name has not only come to stand for critical art and contemporaneousness, but has also become synonymous with scandal and incomprehension. Her “Pyramid of Animals” (see picture on the left) thrust contemporary art into the full glare of the spotlight of public debate when, thanks to the manipulations of the media, a heated, nationwide discussion flared up. The voices not only of critics, but also of representatives of various milieux, were raised in dispute over the diploma project of a young artist studying under Professor Grzegorz Kowlaski.<\/p>\n

From the very outset, then, the public, either directly, as visitors to the exhibition, or indirectly, stirred up by the media, were drawn into the sphere of Kozyra\u2019s works and, at one and the same time, her life. In her case, the two are indissolubly fused.<\/p>\n

Katarzyna Kozyra, sculptress (rze\u017abiarka<\/strong>) and creator of video installations (tw\u00f3rca\u00a0instalacji wideo<\/strong>), films and performance art (tw\u00f3rca\u00a0film\u00f3w oraz wyst\u0119p\u00f3w artystycznych<\/strong>), was born in 1963 and lives in Berlin and Warsaw. She studied at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts\u2019 Department of Sculpture.<\/p>\n

Her work engages with the most profound problems of human existence; identity (to\u017csamo\u015b\u0107<\/strong>), transformation (transformacja, przemiana<\/strong>) and death (\u015bmier\u0107<\/strong>). She moves amongst the spheres of cultural taboos relating to human corporeality, among the stereotypes and behaviours encoded in the life of society. Transgressing them in all of her works, she thus exposes herself to public criticism.<\/p>\n

In 1999, one of her video installations, “Men\u2019s Bathhouse”, received an honourable mention at the 48th International Biennial of Visual Art in Venice.<\/p>\n
