Over the past ten years the acclaimed sculptor Miroslaw Balka has been making concise and moving video works. Topography introduces this compelling and little known work as a multi-dimensional installation in Modern Art Oxford’s galleries and offers fresh insight into the artist's practice. Balka uses his video recordings as a repository of visual and thematic material, extending a sculptural language that is rich in associations with history and his native Poland. The body and its limitations, memory, and the space between looking and knowing are recurring themes. Organised by Modern Art Oxford, Miroslaw Balka: Topography is curated by Suzanne Cotter. Supported by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, Warsaw, as part of the Polish Season in the UK 2009-2010 and Open Art Projects, and The Henry Moore Foundation.
