For the third Spazio Cordis exhibition, we have chosen a young artist of Polish origin, Michal Martychowiec, who is currently based in Berlin. Martychowiec’s work displays an extraordinary versatility in the use of various media (from photography to video, from installation to design, from neon to the word as both signified and signifier). The artist also has an acute analytical capacity with respect to history, literature, and contemporary socio-political issues, with an openness to the international context that stretches from the so-called Old Continent (with references to the classical tradition and, in particular, to the Homeric poems, the Greek myths, and reflections on the revolutions in France from 1848 to the present) to the Far East, for example Japan, with his piece The Shrine to Summon the Souls.
