PRESS & PUBLICATIONS

  • Documenta 14 is so vast, dispersed, and enigmatic, that it is literally impossible to experience all of it (not to mention that the other half of the quinquennial exhibition has yet to take place, in Kassel, Germany). Yet the earnest visitor should make the effort, while in Athens, not only to take in what he or she can of the international offerings of documenta, but to wander off the beaten path of the biennial map, and sample what the local art scene of Athens has to offer.

  • “A Change of Heart” is an exhibition all about flowers. Directly addressing a subject matter that has always been historically marginalized as a subgenre, seen as little more than the byproduct of a charming amateurism, and minor art making, “A Change of Heart” embraces the floral still life in all its formal, symbolic, political and aesthetic heterogeneity.

BIOGRAPHY

Maria Loboda was born in 1979 in Krakow and currently lives London. Recent exhibitions include: "Peril" at Maisterravalbuena in Madrid (2011); "Dynamite Winter Palace" at Galerie Schleicher+Lange in Paris (2011); "In the autumn the electricity withdraws into the earth again and rests" at Krome Gallery in Berlin (2010); "New Thoughts Old Forms" at Bielefelder Kunstverein in Bielefiled (2010); "Conversational Style" at Schleicher+Lange Gallery in Paris (2009).

"With delicious anarchy, the work of Maria Loboda investigates the trafficking between the object and the spirit, rationality and magic. Her method is to trace knowledge through a study of the tension between res and deus, thing and God - with God understood here as the symbol of Order. (...) Loboda's works engage in an unhinged and discordant conversation with time and history. They do not seem to belong to the present, but are difficult to place in the past or the future. They generate a sense of movement between all three temporalities, but at the same time cannot be described simply as anachronistic. They elude the contemporary and are not made in response to any topical reality. Gilles Deleuze wrote that in the paradox of eluding the present is the paradox of infinite identity. Loboda's works, neither exactly modern sculpture nor contemporary installation, embody an infinite connection to history, as clouds do to the sky." (taken from: Chus Martínez 'Maria Loboda' in Creamier, Phaidon 2010)
