Juror in competition for Bydgoszcz ART.DOC Award.
Visual artist whose work offers an amiably ironic commentary on the social roles assigned to the individual and the functioning mechanisms of art institutions, reflecting on social involvement in the field of art. Her works include long-term activities based on cooperation with cultural institutions and the public, initiatives engaging various communities and curatorial projects. Elżbieta Jabłońska’s art is often described as feminist or post-feminist. She creates mainly installations, photographs, performances and space-time activities. She treats the work of art as a relational object whose sense and meaning may be subject to change and negotiation. Currently, she focuses on artistic gestures that encourage action, building a momentary community, creating a field of mutual communication and understanding, thus eschewing the creation of the material and sometimes her authorship.
President of the W788 Foundation, lecturer at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Mikołaj Kopernik University in Toruń.
