This fall and winter, join contemporary artists as they lead explorations of current artworks on view in the Walker galleries. This free program offers a unique opportunity to visit the exhibitions with practicing artists and find out how they were impacted by the show. Each evening, one artist will focus on one work, sharing their personal connection, a response, or curiosity around the piece.
On December 14, guest artist Paulina Olowska will focus on an artwork in Multiple Realities: Experimental Art in the Eastern Bloc, 1960s–1980s.
These short programs are designed for adult audiences, but participants of all ages are welcome. Space is limited. Please pick up a free ticket at the Hennepin Ave Welcome Desk and gather in the Cargill Lounge five minutes before 7 pm.
Bio
Painter and photographer Paulina Olowska (Poland, b. 1976) also works in the genres of performance and video art, social action, and applied arts. Based in Rabka Zdroj and Krakow, she explores modernist utopias and research on the work of 20th-century artists, which she combines with her own creative practice to bring unjustly forgotten ideas back to life. Olowska has had solo exhibitions at Kunsthalle Basel; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; and the Zacheta National Gallery of Art, Warsaw. She received the Aachen Art Prize, with an associated exhibition at the Ludwig Forum for International Art, Aachen, Germany. She has also staged performances at Tate Modern; the Carnegie International; and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Olowska presented the ballet Slavic Goddesses—A Wreath of Ceremonies at the Kitchen, New York; and Slavic Goddesses and The Ushers at the Museo del Novecento, Milan. Her work was featured in the 2017 National Gallery of Victoria Triennial in Melbourne and the 2018 Liverpool Biennial as well as in group exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw; mumok, Vienna; Hamburger Kunsthalle, Hamburg; Migros Museum Für Gegenwartskunst, Zürich; and the New Museum, New York.
