Bio: 
Over the past twenty-five years, the internationally recognized Polish-American artist Monika Weiss has developed a transdisciplinary practice composed of moving image, sound, sculpture, performance and drawing. Recurring material and conceptual motives include sound, water, the body, stillness, doubling and gestures of lamentation. Important across her oeuvre is a relationship to history and collective remembrance, which the artist’s work approaches in profoundly affective ways. Her synesthetic art resists closure as it explores states of transformation and oscillates, as Mark McDonald (The Metropolitan Museum of Art) noted, “between proposal and presence, the allusive and the tangible.” Based in New York, the artist holds professorship at Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts. Her work has been featured in over 90 exhibitions, numerous publications and collections internationally, including solo shows at CAA Zamek Ujazdowski, Warsaw, Lehman College Art Gallery, New York, and Museum of Memory & Human Rights, Santiago, Chile. Dedicated to victims of gendered violence, the artist’ forthcoming outdoor monument/antimonument Nirbhaya will open in 2023 for six-month duration on Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, New York, a gateway to the United Nations. Permanent sister version of the project is planned as part of the Sculpture Park at the Centre of Polish Sculpture in Orońsko.
