CULTURE PL | Marcin Dudek

Przemysław Strożek, CULTURE PL, November 10, 2017

Marcin Dudek is an artist who creates performances, installations, objects, and collages. He was born in 1979 and lives and works in Brussels and Kraków.

 

In his artistic practice, he mostly creates situations based on a confrontation between the world of violence and the world of art. To do this, he often invokes the history of events at sporting stadiums and events in his own life back from when he was a member of a football fan club. Dudek does so in order to deconstruct the recreated memories in a gallery space. The space intended for art object exhibition and initiating artistic actions becomes a place in which the artist’s personal experiences clash with the universal issues of mob psychology, architecture, and the society of such a spectacle.
