CV
Agnieszka Mastalerz graduated from the Studio of Spatial Activities of Mirosław Bałka at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in 2018. She was a guest student of Candice Breitz and Eli Cortiñas at Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Brunswick (DAAD scholarship for 2019/20) and of Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin at HFBK in Hamburg (2017/2018). In her artistic practice she puts focus on mechanisms of control and processes influencing and exploiting an individual. She uses a poetic visual language to analyse restrictive rules established within intimate relationships, communities, states, or companies.

PAST EXHIBITIONS
2020-ongoing
Supports
medium format photographs
‘Supports’ is an ongoing series started in 2020 in the Botanic Garden of the University of Warsaw, where Mastalerz noticed sculpture-like, rickety, steel structures used to shape plants – the so-called flower supports.
Part of the photo series was presented during the Warsaw Gallery Weekend, 2020, within the exhibition Pandemic consequences - dreams, in the Serce Człowieka Gallery.
The series was recently developed during the Artists Development Programme by European Investment Bank Institute in Luxembourg, where she created a video and a series of analogue pictures presenting a female choreographer performing with steel structure within modern architecture.
