Zuza Golinska: Public pocket / Artist talk

Zuza Golińska (b. 1990) is a multidisciplinary artist exploring the impact of architecture and public space on the human individual. Her art reflects on ways in which human physical and mental wellbeing is influenced by the psychology of space in the time of civilizational acceleration and late capitalism. Golińska frequently disrupts clear-cut divisions between the function and the aesthetic as she examines spatial forms’ influence on users’ emotions and decisions.

Golińska is a graduate of the Mirosław Bałka Studio of Spatial Activities in the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Her master’s thesis was supervised by the eminent art historian and critic Anda Rottenberg. She is the recipient of scholarships from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. In 2015 Golińska was nominated for the StartPoint Prize. In 2018, she received the ArtePrize awarded by Delfina Foundation in London. In 2022 she became one of the three recipients of the Dorothea von Stetten Art Award awarded by Kunstmuseum in Bonn. She has presented her works in many institutions including Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Zachęta – National Gallery, National Gallery in Prague and Yokohama Museum of Art.
