Kornelia Dzikowska: Power Play
Mar 05, 2020 - Apr 12, 2020
Kornelia Dzikowska鈥檚 "Power Play" is this year鈥檚 first show in the Project Room series at the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art. Instead of an exhibition, the artist decided to create a site-specific installation. Dzikowska divides the Project Room space with vertically suspended fabric, creating two interdependent areas. As the airflow causes the curtain to strain, it annexes the surface of either parts of the space. The side gaining advantage cannot ever be certain of itself 鈥� the situation may reverse at any time. In this way, the artist talks about the essence of power 鈥� confrontation, negotiation, uncertainty, and continuous tension. Dominating the space, the colour red symbolizes passion, lust, and danger, and suggests a state of emergency.
