ANGELIKA MARKUL belongs to a young generation of artists, which has emerged over the last few years. Fluctuating between the fields of film and installation, she works using a vocabulary of simple, or even archaic forms, constructed of glass, wood, black foil, eye irritating lamps, or industrial ventilators. Certain elements constantly appear in her works, forming new configurations and arranging the space differently.
Tinged with contemporary romanticism and gloomy minimalism, her work is rigorously black, dynamic and unexpectedly contemplative. The artist treats space as a luminous sculpture you can walk inside. ANGELIKA MARKUL’s installations play with viewers’ perceptions in two ways. On the one hand, they show the world of the imagination blended with reality. They disorient the viewer to such a degree that it can be hard to say what is reality and what is artistic fiction. On the other hand, their three-dimensionality and lighting disrupt the feeling of spatial comfort. ANGELIKA MARKUL’s work is equally inspired by the world of nature, the atmosphere of places that do not bear the stamp of the past. The tales she heard in childhood also intrigue her and stimulate her imagination. Sometimes terrifying, other times poetic – much like fairy tales and legends themselves – her works deal with the most pressing aspects of human existence.
ANGELIKA MARKUL was born in Szczecin. She has lived and worked in Paris since 1997. In 2003 she graduated from Paris Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts in multimedia, directed by CHRISTIAN BOLTANSKI. She collaborates with the Galerie Frédéric Giroux in Paris and Kewenig Galerie in Koln. In Paris, Galerie Suzanne Tarasieve is representing her work.
She has participated in many international exhibitions, both group and individual.
And good news: Her solo-show at Palais de Tokyo takes place from 13/02-12/05.(www.palaisdetokyo.com/en/exhibition/terre-de-depart-land-departure). She was awarded with the SAM Art Prize in 2012.
