– Agata Madejska
available works
Agata Madejska, For Now, 2015
photochromic paint, concrete, 100 x 6 x 6 cm. unlimited edition each unique
Agata Madejska uses post-(and)photographic processes, sculptural interventions, and installation, to delve into the multiple ways in which power can be manifest.
With their liquidus feel, Agata’s works question the smooth façades of language, architecture, and public agreements — forms that hold associative or symbolic value. In turn, she poses deeply philosophical questions which demand viewers to think and re-think how we have come to know not only our world but ourselves in this world-space — how and why.
