The Contemporary Art Collection MuFo. New Acquisitions | Aneta Grzeszykowska „Mama”
With the support of the City of Kraków and the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, in 2020, MuFo is pleased to include in its collection the works of five artists: Bogusław Bachorczyk (b. 1969), Paweł Bownik (b. 1977), Aneta Grzeszykowska (b. 1974), Rafał Milach (b. 1978), and Anna Orłowska (b. 1986).
The eponymous mother in Mama is a hyperrealistic sculpture depicting the head and torso of the artist. Her daughter uses the sculpture as an object for role-playing everyday activities. The photographic record of these gestures visualises the tenderness and bond between mother and daughter, while at the same time revealing the mechanisms of the loss of autonomy, as well as the unsettling aura that can accompany the social functioning of human beings, including in our interactions with those closest to us.
Works are introduced by Marta Kudelska, educator (Department of Dissemination).
Co-financed by the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage through its Promotion of Culture Fund and within its National Collection of Contemporary Art programme; and with the financial suport of the Municipality of Kraków.
