Interview with Pawel Althamer on ARTMargins Online in November 2003

In November 2003, ARTMargins Online published an interview with Polish artist Pawel Althamer, conducted by Sven Spieker. Althamer, known for his work in sculpture, performance, installations, and video art, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw from 1988 to 1993. He exhibited in 1991 alongside colleagues from Kowalski's studio, including Katarzyna Kozyra, Jacek Markiewicz, and Jacek Adamas. This group, often referred to as 'Kowalski's Workshop' or 'Kowalnia,' was a leading collective of young Polish artists in the 1990s. The interview explores Althamer's artistic development and his role in this influential movement, highlighting his multidisciplinary practice and contributions to contemporary art in Poland during that decade.
