Maria Toboła – Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art

The new exhibition by Maria Toboła comprises a pseudo-readymade, a pseudo-audioguide, and a video simulating the works by other artists. She uses these pun-works to analyze the concepts of shame and embarrassment. With humor and even mockingly, she asks what kind of work should be done to not be afraid to speak with your own voice.

• Maria Toboła
  • (born in 1987 in Leszno). She graduated from the University of Arts in Poznań and completed her diploma in the Audiosfera studio under the supervision of prof. Leszek Knaflewski at the Chair of Intermedia. She lives and works in Warsaw. Using video, performance, installation, sculpture and poetry she often resorts to wordplays, irony, absurdity and jokes. Her realizations can rightfully be described as silly and unpalatable examples of conceptual art.
