‘Constructing the New order- part 2’ – Beata Kozlowska
Posted: September 8, 2011 Filed under: Artists, Artwork | Tags: art, aspex, beata kozlowska Leave a commentThe first series of work I called ‘The New Eldorado’ as a reference to pop culture and the myth built around the golden age of prosperity. Golden plastic lid, purity of blue, orange and White… Colour is another indication of unifying and enabling symbiosis within the object. I was also experimenting with already existing natural ‘presupposition’ of brought objects. I use them in assemblages, mini- installation, Solaris, with mirrors, metal bars, round shapes of the records, lampshades…
At the end of the week I was tempted to create ironic harmony, merely maintaining a balance within the assembled objects. Orange mini columns, reminiscent of negative furniture, are fragilly supporting each other balancing on the red string…
The process of creating my work was so similar to the process of my usual art practice. I found the project relieving and inspiring. Also I had a chance to collaborate/ or rather interact not only with fellow artists ( Nicola Dale, Jason Tylor, Andy Parker), but also with enthusiastic audience.

Following my intuition, I started immediately selecting wide range of objects, part- elements, prefabricates….
The selection of elements is purely improvisational and rather dictated by aesthetic symbiosis within the assemblage.
My first installation is deliberately limited to round shapes, lines, reflection of stripes of randomly selected elements. It became an intriguing Game for me as an artist and the viewer. I intend to make links between disparate elements and materials with unconscious desire to find HARMONY And CLARITY in unwanted/ rejected/ negative… The necessity to construct a new ORDER based on existing, may have some inner roots in deconstruction similar to metaphor of ‘reborning the Phoenix from Ashes’ for the sake of clarifying and relieving…
In my practice each element is treated as a part of the linguistic game, which is attempting to re-construct the Masculine Symbolic ( existing in the nature of our everyday logical communication/or rather LANGUAGE). In order to access the Inner primal Order, based on Temporality, adjustment, improvisation and intuition, playful approach is necessary. This leads to the process of dismantling and depriving the function of the original object…hovever, my work has utopian aspirations….Therefore I pay such a close attention to colour and form…
