Program

Polish sculptor Katarzyna Krakowiak, born in 1980, works with a range of different media – mostly sound – to explore the limits of architecture, often incorporating existing buildings and urban structures into her pieces. For her expansive installations, she also makes extensive use of the Internet and the possibilities of mobile communication, cooperating with architects and set designers to realise them. For her exhibition “Making the walls quake as if they were dilating with the secret knowledge of great powers”, the artist received an honourable mention at the Architecture Biennale in Venice in 2012. The Polish Institute Berlin presents s an exhibition of the artist’s work in its gallery at Hackescher Markt.
