Marysia Lewandowska is a London-based artist who, up to 2008, frequently collaborated with Neil Cummings. Her past and current practice reflects on the ways in which institutions determine the exchange of values between art and its public. The project Enthusiasm was exhibited at Whitechapel Gallery in London, Kunst-Werke Berlin in Berlin, and Fundació Antoni Tàpies in Barcelona. The film Museum Futures: Distributed was commissioned by Moderna Museet in Stockholm in 2008, and Tender Museum, a sound and film installation, was recently completed for Muzeum Sztuki in Lodz (Poland). She is currently developing the Women’s Audio Archive, part of her residency at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College, and Our Radical Parents, a project produced by Mossutställningar in Stockholm. Upcoming projects Casting and Self-documentation will address the politics of broadcast and the public realm. Lewandowska is a professor in the Fine Arts department at Konstfack in Stockholm, where she has created Timeline: Artists’ Film and Video Archive.Links
