Malgorzata Mirgi-Tas (Gosia Mirga), International Guest Artist at Villa Romana in 2020, will exhibit at the Polish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale of Arts in 2022.
Congratulations to Malgorzata Mirgi-Tas for her participation in the 59th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia (23 April – 27 November 2022)!
The jury selected the project by Malgorzata Mirga-Tas's Re-enchanting the World, proposed by curators Wojciech Szymański and Joanna Warsza.
"Having reviewed the submitted projects and after a long and in-depth discussion, the jury selected in an open two-stage vote the project by Malgorzata Mirga-Tas's Re-enchanting the World, proposed by curators Wojciech SzymaÅ„ski and Joanna Warsza (emblem Bacht) to be carried out. The Jury noted the project's unusually attractive visual form (opening the pavilion to a wider audience) combined with an original and deliberate ideological concept ‘proposing a new narrative about the constant migration of images and mutual influences between Roma, Polish and European cultures’. The project intertwines in a creative way the artist’s personal experience and local stories with, among others, the tradition of Renaissance wall painting, at the same time combining private iconography with symbolism and allegory from centuries ago." (statement issued by the Jury of the Polish Pavilion curatorial project competition)
