Obiekt częściowy. Synteza twórczości Anety Grzeszykowskiej
Partial Object. A Synthesis of the Works of Aneta Grzeszykowska

Summary/Abstract: This text presents the state of research, proposes a systematic approach, and, upon its basis, conducts a synthesis of heretofore works by Aneta Grzeszykowska (b. 1974). Despite a number of press articles as well as critical and scientific texts, Grzeszykowska’s œuvre continues to evade reflections while the relatively large number of her one-man and group shows becomes the reason why an outside observer finds it difficult to establish the sequence of her projects and relations within the range of particular sets of works. This text contains a chronological reconstruction of Grzeszykowska’s artistic development spanning from her early student works, executed together with Jan Smaga, to the most recent undertakings, whose effects are shown at exhibitions held in Poland and abroad or are published as art books (e.g. Negative Book or Selfie). A. Mazur arranged the artist’s oeuvre in order from the vantage point of its themes (initial interest in architecture, questions of identity and objectivity, pastiche and repetition, feminism) and the media (from photography via video to sculpture and performance). A reconstruction of the state of research and an amassment of possible paths of interpretation enabled the author to present his personal vision of Grzeszykowska’s art.
