Born in 1967 in Warsaw, Poland, Goshka Macuga lives and works in London. Macuga’s practice encompasses a broad range of media, including installation, drawing, sculpture and photography. Using strategies borrowed from exhibition design, Macuga creates environments that establish a series of poetic correspondences between different objects, images and artists’ works as a means of re-contextualizing them and loosening the historical narratives and systems of classifications that shape their conventional readings. Often organized site-specifically, Macuga’s installations and exhibition projects are usually the result of an investigation into a particular location, individual or group.
