Joanna Malinowska
Joanna Malinowska (b. 1972, Gdynia, Poland) works in sculpture, video, sound and performance, exploring themes of national identity and its paradoxes. Malinowska's work often functions at the intersection of her interests in anthropology and art history.
Under the guise of humor and makeshift formal arrangements, the artist reflects on the complex and contradictory relations humans often have with the natural world. Her perspectives range from playful to grim to apocalyptic.
