FAMILY SKIN – Aneta Grzeszykowska

FAMILY SKIN – Aneta Grzeszykowska

FC – Francisco Carolineum
Curated by Nathalie Hoyos and Rainald Schumacher in collaboration with Michaela Seiser

Duration of the exhibition: 28 October 2020 – 28 February 2021
The theme of the Polish artist Aneta Grzeszykowska is the human body - and especially that of the female - as a projection surface. Handed down notions, fantasies, prejudices and alienation are the focus of her series of works. Using photographic and sculptural means, she explores the construction of a physical aesthetic as an ideal image, and also by opposing it with the traces of age and disfigurement.
The human skin-shell is the proverbial surface of that which is visible, and thus oscillates between truth, fiction and elegant illusion.

Aneta Grzeszykowska (born 1974) lives and works in Warsaw. With FAMILY SKIN the FC - Francisco Carolineum in Linz is hosting the first museum exhibition of her fascinating work outside Poland.
