Agnieszka Topolska
In my artistic practice, I explore the relationships between matter, the body, and social structures that shape everyday life in the context of late capitalism. I primarily work with sculpture and installation. I see art as a tool for questioning dominant hierarchies and worldviews based on the logic of supremacy.
I am interested in the hidden reality that exists beneath the material surface of objects. An important part of my practice is working with found objects and with the life cycles of materials. I also use organic matter, exploring the relationship between what is human and what is more-than-human.
My work often combines found elements with process-based sculptural work. Time spent in the studio and direct contact with materials are essential to my practice. I see artistic work as a way of confronting climate anxiety, visions of catastrophe, and the weight of existence in the era of the Capitalocene.
Curatorial and community-based activities are also an important part of my work. I focus on creating spaces for dialogue, promoting contemporary art, and making it more social, inclusive, and accessible. I pursue these values, among other ways, through my involvement in Galeria Szczur in Poznań, which I co-create.
