Ania Nowak approaches vulnerability and desire as ways towards reimagining what bodies and language can and cannot do. Nowak develops formats such as live and video performance, installation and text. In her practice Ania engages with bodies in their nonlinear feeling and thinking capacity to tackle the difficulties of companionship and care in times of perpetual crisis. Her work attempts to reimagine the notions of disorder, pleasure, disease, intimacy, pain, sexuality, class and accessibility as sites of binary free living. Nowak collaborates with alternative educational programs in Europe, such as Kem School in Warsaw. Ania’s works have been presented at HAU Hebbel am Ufer, Berlinische Galerie, Sophiensaele, Akademie der Künste, KW, Berlin; Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, Helsinki; Salzburger Kunstverein; La Casa Encendida, Madrid; 14th Baltic Triennial at CAC Vilnius and 12th Gothenburg Biennial, a.o. She held solo shows at the Museum of Modern Art, Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art, Warsaw; Galerie Wedding – Raum für zeitgenössische Kunst, Berlin and Arts Santa Mònica, Barcelona. Nowak lives and works in Berlin.
