Agnieszka Polska's "Demon's Brain" Opens at NEWEAST, Curated by Eliza Urwanowicz-Rojecka
The solo exhibition "Demon's Brain" by Agnieszka Polska, under the curation of Eliza Urwanowicz-Rojecka, is scheduled from 11 September to 15 November 2026. Polska integrates traditional filmmaking with AI in her video works, employing the Stable Diffusion model alongside archival content. The exhibition showcases four pieces: Demon's Brain, The Book of Flowers, Birds in Space, and Two-Headed Horse. Drawing inspiration from Sara Ahmed's emotional politics and Yuk Hui's notion of recursivity, it challenges contemporary definitions and validations of artistic practice. Central to the exhibition is storytelling, which influences societal imagination and history, while also addressing technological and ecological changes. The pieces are characterized as magnetic, meditative, exaggerated, modest, and dependent on audience interaction.
