Palimpsest: Coast

Małgorzata Dawidek

10th Oct - 14th Nov

“Throughout the creative process, I kept returning to the question of what the British coastline might have looked like in the time of Dame Marie. What might she have seen when she arrived in England from Brittany, the place of her birth?” Through this exhibition, Dawidek seeks traces of her in contemporary cultural-natural landscapes.

Featured Artists

Małgorzata Dawidek has developed her artistic practice through the cross-pollination of diverse disciplines – history, literature, anthropology, archaeology, philosophy, and humanistic medicine. Working across photography, performance, drawing, text, and installation, she draws on methodologies of (self-)observation, movement research, and environmental interaction, alongside collaborations with scientists, artists and cultural institutions.
