Joanna Rajkowska : Painkillers

17 Sep-24 Oct 2015

Overview

Noted for her ambitious interventions in public space, as well as her objects, films, photography, installations and ephemeral actions, Joanna Rajkowska's practice interrogates individual and collective bodies as politicised sites of historical, ideological and psychological conflict. For her inaugural exhibition at l’étrangère, Rajkowska unites two object-based series under the rubric, Painkillers, in order to explore the at times uncomfortable connections between modern warfare, healing systems and the practices of Western science.
