Goshka Macuga

For her sculptures and collages, Goshka Macuga uses historical documents and photographs, artefacts, handcrafted objects and natural materials, combining them into installations that give them a completely new context. As part of this recontextualizing process, Goshka Macuga explores a multitude of disciplines, such as the production and presentation of art in the course of history, ethnology, psychology and esoterics.  Operating on many levels, in terms of both form and content, Macuga’s complex installations reach beyond the boundaries of our prevailing understanding of cultural production and create, from a mixture of resistance to tradition and humorous persiflage, new, ideal spaces of free expression.
