Karolina Kubik – Konteksty

Karolina Kubik (b. in 1984) visual-performance artist based in Warsaw.

She works in between, on the edge of definitions: performs, writes poems, builds installactions. Recognises the constant variable of subjectivity between the viewer and performer.

She is much into embarrassing situation which verifies attractiveness of rules by becoming more demanding and destroys audience’s life experience.

She has participated in several group exhibitions and festivals. In 2008 received the Erasmus scholarship to study at Dartington College of Arts, UK and in 2009 the CEEPUS scholarship to Akademija Likovnih Umjetnosti, Zagreb, Croatia.

Since 2010 until now co-runs the Studio of Spatial Activities with Miroslaw Balka (2010/11 Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan, 2011/12 Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw)
