Overview

Common Task is an ambitious new work by Pawel Althamer that takes the form of a science-fiction film in real-time. Accompanied by members of his local community in Bródno the artist has embarked on an ongoing journey from Warsaw to Brazil, Belgium and Africa. The journey continues to Modern Art Oxford where Althamer is transforming the first floor galleries into a zone for teleportation. Visitors will be invited to take part in the journey that is the Common Task. This is Pawel Althamer’s first solo exhibition in the UK. Pawel Althamer: Common Task at Modern Art Oxford 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.
