The Armory Show, the premiere New York City art fair is a leading cultural destination for discovering and collecting the world\u2019s most important 20th- and 21st-century art. This year ZAK | BRANICKA Polish gallery based in Berlin will be showcased for the first time in the roster of international art galleries, and will feature work of Marlena Kudlicka, a fresh and bold approach to the form and aesthetic of the early 20th century avant-garde constructivism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The forerunner of Polish avant-garde art, Marlena Kudlicka (born in Tomasz\u00f3w Lubelski, Poland) will exhibit a continuation of her series Elements of Peaceful Engagement, which will consists of a large-scale sculpture made of both steel and glass and a series of small wall sculptures. Kudlicka derives her sculptures from systems found in architecture and construction processes in an innovative way, investigating the relationship between precision and error. Her sculptures are made with a jeweler\u2019s precision, but at the same time an error is factored into the process of their creation. This relationship leads to a balance\u2014the main theme of her works. As a woman, inscribed within the specificity of Polish art, Kudlicka\u2019s artistic identity underlines the history of the invisibility of the female presence in the construction of the teleological and phallocentric narratives of yet unwritten art history of the early 20th century constructivist avant-gardes. Kudlicka currently lives and works in Berlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
