Anna Molska

In the past, Anna Molska has used performance-based video to explore the effect of culture on art making. Referencing the influence of Russian Suprematism and Soviet rule on the Polish avant-garde, she reworks art history and tradition using unconventional or ironic materials to reach contradictory conclusions. For her Eastern European Residency Exchange at Art in General, Molska looks at previous works with a new perspective informed by her recent experiences trying to make new work in Ohio and New York.

Anna Molska (1983) lives and works in Poland. She went to school at the Fine Art Academy in Warsaw, Poland (2003) and received an Erasmus-Sokrates Scholarship from the State Acedemy of Art and Design in Stuttgart, Germany in 2004. Her work has been shown at numerous galleries, museums and art centers throughout Poland, the Czech Republic and Germany including Variants, studio of Grzegorz Kowalski (2007); Zachęta, National Gallery of Art, Warsaw, Poland (2007); Transvizuala, Gdynia, Poland (2007); Biopover, c2c Gallery, Praque, Czech Rebuplic (2007); Samsung Art Master, Contemporary Art Centre, Warsaw, Poland (2007 and 2006); Free Form Festival, Fabryka Trzciny, Warsaw, Poland (2007 and 2006); Cross-eyed Perspective, Ursula Walbroel Gallery, Dusseldorf, Germany (2006).
