Bogdan Perzyński
13 - 29 October 2011
Bogdan Perzyński, an artist whose own emergence parallelled the nascent postmodernism of the 1970s-80s, has consistently directed his creative process towards notions framed by language: communication and translation, borders and transformation, and the myriad social, political, and interpersonal codes that define our everyday existence. Moreover, throughout the course of his works, Perzyński has carefully used aspects of technology to forcefully evoke the demands and pressures of manifold surrounding contexts. According to the artist, “I see my work more as an organism than an object; a living system that is capable of reacting to stimulus, growth, replication and maintenance.”
