Monika Sosnowska

K20 Kunstsammlung, Dusseldorf

Invited to launch of this series is Polish sculptor Monika Sosnowska (*1972).

This artist – who received international acclaim most recently for the steel sculpture “1:1,” a spectacular project she installed in the Polish Pavilion at the Venice Bienniale of 2007 – is predestined for this type of artistic intervention.

Sosnowska works with spaces, exploring their characteristic features, their styles, even their psychologies, before commenting on, modifying, or counteracting them via her own forms. She strives to “create atmospheres” in order to discover how spaces and emotions converge and interact.

Monika Sosnowska is highly attuned to the potential of links between elements from the history of architectural modernism and motifs from the socialistera architecture of her native land, familiar to her from direct experience.

This artist operates within the force field that conjoins architecture and sculpture, which she brings together with striking intensity and emotional force by means of her minimalist formal idiom.

Visitors can look forward to a shrewdly framed encounter between this historical atrium/courtyard and her artistic commentary.
This installation is made possible by the Provinzial Rheinland Versicherungen in the framework of the sponsorship series “Provinzial - Engagement im Rheinland für zeitgenössische Kunst” (Provincial: Committed to Contemporary Art in the Rhineland).
