MIXED MEDIA DIALOG 2
Enlightening visual art practice
“We're going to burn all her work when the exhibition finishes and sell it as bags of charcoal with ‘Ludwika Ogerzelec' printed on the bags.' says exhibition ce-ordinator Suzanne Dunn. winding up the lady with the broken English who is standing arneng a pile of splintered weed. Ludwika Ogor/elec laughs and then tells of how one gallery in Kuntshaller lltdlvltltlétlly sold off the pieces of wood from her work. She loves the idea. which is not surprising really as her work is deeply influenced by the legendary theatre director Jer7y Gretewski whose experirizenta the 80s inspired a '.-.rhole generation of artists from the city of Wroclaw. her home town in Poland.
"My work cernes from objectivity not subjectrvityf says Oger/elec. ‘Grotewski helped me and pushed me to decide that my work Will cerne from the objectivity of nature and never from the brarn.‘
Oger/elec's site-specific work is remarkable. all raw ‘.veod scaffolding reaching upwards to create Space Crystal/rsatroh ta system of lines
