At MOMENTUM | Berlin
lokal_30 Presents ZUZANNA JANIN
Majka from the Movie
7 September – 14 October
12 September: MOMENTUM Presentation and Artist Talk at the Berlische Galerie

MOMENTUM is happy to announce our forthcoming exhibition with leading Polish artist Zuzanna Janin, in collaboration with lokal_30. Zuzanna Janin lives and works in Warsaw. Author of sculptures, installations, videos, photographs, actions and performances. The central themes of artist’s works are space, memory and time, as well as the states in between. Her works invite reflection on the arbitrariness of social roles, their fluid boundaries and the place of individual freedom within the workings of state and society. In her last works Zuzanna Janin, whose film and video practice, alongside her installations and three dimensional objects, frequently addresses ideas of social construction and formation of interactive singular and/or group identities visualized how both singular and collective identities are manipulated and played off against one another in today’s contemporary culture. A singular identity thus finds itself – as Janin makes us aware – in a continuous state of personal construction and displacement. Majka from the Movie is a series of videos shown at the 54th Venice Biennale. The multichannel projection screened at MOMENTUM features a new work in this series, to be premiered the week before at the Center for Contemporary Art in Warsaw.
