Monika Sosnowska is a Polish sculptor known for her architectural interventions that endow space with new meanings. 

Her forthcoming exhibition at EMMA will present six large-scale sculptures that enter a dialogue with the exhibition space. Sosnowska uses recognizable building materials such as steel beams, concrete and rebar, transforming familiar items into something new and surprising by modifying or distorting their conventional function. Sosnowska’s sculptural idiom is visibly influenced by various modernist movements such as constructivism, minimalism, and conceptual art.

Monika Sosnowska (b. 1972) is an internationally acclaimed artist whose most famous works have featured at venues including the 50th and 52nd Venice Biennale and New York’s MoMa in 2006.

Sosnowska’s debut at EMMA will coincide with Experiments in Concretism, an exhibition that takes a fresh look at the legacy of concretism and its contemporary interpretations. The two exhibitions engage in an intriguing dialogue with one another.
