Projects 83 introduces the work of Monika Sosnowska, (b.
1972), an artist living in Warsaw, Poland. Sosnowska creates architecturally
structured installations that dramatically transform a viewer's perception
and experience of a space. She makes her works in response to a given
setting, and this installation, The Hole, has been conceived specifically for
The Museum of Modern Art. The artist develops these projects via
a process based on paper maquettes that are beautiful works of art
in themselves. Although Sosnowska has exhibited extensively in Europe
during the past five years, this is her first solo exhibition at
a gallery or museum in the United States. This project is presented
in the Contemporary Galleries, adjacent to the exhibition Out
of Time: A Contemporary View.
Organized by Ann Temkin, Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture.
The Projects series is made possible by the Elaine Dannheisser Projects Endowment Fund and by The Junior Associates of The Museum of Modern Art and the JA Endowment Committee.
Additional support is provided by Jerry I. Speyer and Katherine G. Farley, Peter Norton and the Peter Norton Family Foundation, and the Jo Carole and Ronald S. Lauder Travel Fund for Central and Eastern Europe of The International Council of The Museum of Modern Art.
