Malgorzata Markiewicz @ L'etrangere

Emotional tensions and guilty subtexts that lie behind the acts of gift giving are a starting point for Małgorzata Markiewicz’s investigations of the power struggles in relationships. The red neon sign, Can I Make You Feel Bad? in the shape of a necklace, lends the exhibition its title.
Markiewicz’s work addresses themes such as the uncanny, gendered spaces and roles, manifestations of desire, threat and power in domestic scenarios. For her first solo exhibition at l’étrangère the artist brings together neon, metal and ceramic, photographs, crocheted sculptures and found objects.
