Miroslaw Balka (geb. 1958 in Warschau, lebt und arbeitet in Otwock, Polen) scheut nicht die Leere, das Nichts und den Tod. Mit seinen existentiellen Fragestellungen zählt er heute zu den international bekanntesten polnischen Künstlern seiner Generation. Neben Skulpturen, Video- und Soundarbeiten umfasst sein seit den 1980er-Jahren kontinuierlich entwickeltes Œuvre auch ortsspezifische Installationen und Zeichnungen. Bezugspunkt vieler Arbeiten Bałkas ist der Körper - während er in den frühen noch als Abbild vorhanden war, wird er seit den 1990er-Jahren nur noch in einer abstrahierten Weise behandelt. Der bewusste Schritt weg vom Figurativen markiert den Versuch von Miroslaw Balka, einen grösseren Anspielungsreichtum in seine Arbeiten einzubeziehen. Exhibition: Museum Morsbroich, Leverkusen, Germany (24.09.2017-07.01.2018).

Work Description
"How It Is by Polish artist Miroslaw Balka is a giant grey steel structure with a vast dark chamber, which in construction reflects the surrounding architecture - almost as if the interior space of the Turbine Hall has been turned inside out. Hovering somewhere between sculpture and architecture, on 2 metre stilts, it stands 13 metres high and 30 metres long. Visitors can walk underneath it, listening to the echoing sound of footsteps on steel, or enter via a ramp into a pitch black interior, creating a sense of unease"--Gallery website.
