Artur Żmijewski
26 May, 1966 in Warsaw, Poland
Artur Zmijewski’s unabashedly political artworks are among the most cogent and courageous meditations on the psychical complexities of fascism and state violence currently being produced. Combining performance and video, the Warsaw-based artist utilises bodily dysfunction and abjection as allegories for despotism. His protagonists are the sick, the mentally ill, the... handicapped, and the imprisoned.—Derek Conrad Murray
