Angelika Markul's Sculptural Installations at Galerie Frédéric Giroux
Angelika Markul, a Polish artist born in 1977, is showcasing her second solo exhibition at Galerie Frédéric Giroux in Paris, running from December 6, 2008, to January 27, 2009. The exhibition includes pieces crafted from materials such as plastic, wood, wire mesh, aluminum foil, and neon. The space, predominantly filled with black packaging plastic, is illuminated by the artworks, evoking the essence of Christian Boltanski's Ombres et Monuments. A black triptych composed of framed plastic films is spotlighted by cinema lamps. Additionally, the video installation Souffle is displayed on a vertical screen with reflective black panels. The most extensive installation features a large frame that filters neon light, encircled by aluminum-foil steles that pay homage to Joseph Beuys and Yves Klein. Markul’s chosen materials reflect themes of the human body, pressure, loss, and disappearance.
