Alicja Kwade investigates universally accepted notions of space, time, science, and philosophy by breaking down frames of perception. Kwade’s practice spans sculpture, installation, video, and photography. She utilizes quotidian and found objects to explore ideas about the fabric of reality. Kwade’s use of elements reflects her interest in both physics and chemistry, using art to examine the phenomena of the physical world. Kwade examines planetary systems, molecular compositions, and mathematical frameworks, exploring both the physical and metaphysical. While her work is often associated with Minimalism, Kwade approaches her practice with an eye toward Conceptual art. Kwade is currently a resident at Villa Massimo and will open a solo exhibition at Pace’s Tokyo gallery this fall.
