Marta Deskur
The Clown’s Mirror / Four Minutes of Marta’s Life, 2022













Visual artist, abstractionist — part conceptualist, part philosopher. She approaches life as a system: first experiencing, then analyzing, and when necessary — criticizing. An activist. A mediator. She lives and works between worlds and at their edges — between what is tangible and what is only perceptible, scientifically unidentified. She has a son, Xawery. She had — and still has — a dog. Married to art. She responds to injustice, hypocrisy, violence, and silence. Paraphrasing Mieke Bal: art does not need to resist through aggression — it can resist through non-alignment. Her works can be found in the collections of, among others: Ludwig Museum in Budapest (Hungary), Location One Gallery Collection in New York (USA), Minoriten Kultur in Graz (Austria), Sonje Museum of Contemporary Art in Kwangju (South Korea), Museum Bochum (Germany), ING Polish Art Collection in Warsaw, the Museum Sztuki in Łódź, and the National Museums in Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław and Szczecin.
