Screens Series: Agnieszka Polska

June 8 - August 7, 2016 - The exhibition inaugurates the New Museum’s Screens Series, a platform for the presentation of new video works by emerging contemporary artists.  A platform for the presentation of new video works by emerging contemporary artists. Working primarily with digital animation, collage, and computer-generated imagery (CGI), Agnieszka Polska creates dreamlike films that explore the ways that language and visual iconography manifest themselves within contemporary consciousness. The ideas for many of the Polska’s works derive from her own scripts and poems, as the discovery of connections between words, and the surreal aspects of meaning that arise from their juxtaposition, commonly form the foundation of her films.
