Slawomir Marzec at Gallery XXI, Warsaw
Thousands of newspaper cuttings, photos, and quotations including the word “everything” hang on the wall around a black pulsating screen. The artist has been tracing the existance of “everything” in our culture for almost two years. This installation is constructed by oppositions—symbols and symptoms, pathos and irony, overflow and the unnoticeable, schematic and idiomatic, and […]
Olafur Eliasson
"Unlike most contemporary paintings or sculptures, Eliasson’s pieces are designed for the viewer to actively participate. There is no instantaneous “I get it” reaction here, no quick summation, as his works are more abstract. They beg you to stare for long moments, lingering before them to absorb something simple like the beauty of natural colors […]
Crossing Borders
Biology is no different from photography, video, or computers, in that it can be used as an art medium. The use of biology as an art medium is not a recent phenomenon.

I think I could say that at the basis of my work is a very clear and emotional notion of the relativity of life itself, and consequently of conventions, of the meaningful difference between interior and exterior, of private and public, and of the fragmentary nature of the “non-place,” of power, of time, and place […]
Korean Venus
When I was a child, I believed that I would have blonde hair and blue eyes one day. That’s because whenever I was watching movies from the West, all Western actors and actresses spoke Korean very well—films were dubbed in Korean. I also thought that I would become a super star like Marilyn Monroe, James […]
