Description
In his films and videos, Polish artist Artur Zmijewski addresses issues of racism, national identity, religious ostracism and the clash of ideologies . Unabashedly controversial and political, they test the limits of ethics and morality, showing us what we would prefer to ignore. Two essays elucidate several recent works, including Zmijewski ‘s major video installation, Democracies (2009). Accompanied by extracts from the artist’s manifesto. Artur Zmijewski’s work has been shown at Kunsthalle Basel, Documenta 12 and The Museum of Modern Art. In English and French.
