Iza Tarasewicz
Born in 1981 in Białystok, Poland. Her sculptural installations take the form of modular, flexible, mobile, and reconfigurable display systems that combine a raw and modest functionalism with formal logics found in the natural world, scientific experimentation, and graphs and diagrams —figures of thought and charts of relation that systematize knowledge and data and abstractly describe the interaction of phenomena. The artist gets inspiration for her work from the atomism of classicalGreek philosophy and from the reality-explanations of 20th-century quantum physics and chaos-theory. Her statues and object-assemblages that may be combined into installations are generated into systems filled with energy, formed from hardly identifiable organic and inorganic materials. She lives and works in Kolonia Koplany, Poland.
