Alicja Kwade’s work explores the notions of space and time, the finite and the infinite. Although her creations do not purport to provide answers to the questions that stir up our anxieties, they nevertheless propose to accompany our reflections with a distinctive aesthetic sense. Alicja Kwade’s sculptures and installations are often set in a monumental space in which geometric forms evoke the cosmos, nature, the passing of time, or the movement of the planets. Her refined and often poetic structures are constructed with great scientific rigour.
Born in 1979 in Katowice, Alicja Kwade is a graduate of the University of Arts in Berlin. She lives and works in Berlin.
