Anna Molska

I saw a video at frieze art fair by anna molska. All I can remeber about it was a woman sitting on a hammock rocking away (the artist?) and some birds flying around the room. There may have been some semi-naked men involved.

Taking the performing body as her primary medium, Anna Molska draws on the history of the Soviet bloc in her short video works. In Tanagram (2006–7), for instance, two men shift large geometric forms with elusive purpose, as though searching for the perfect configuration of Kazimir Malevich’s Black Square (1913). Rudimentary dialogue between the protagonists hints at power relations between Russia and Poland – a theme that recurs in W=F★s (Work) (2008), where Polish workmen pose on a rickety scaffolding tower as though parodying idealized Soviet youth. Elsewhere geometry, too, is reconsidered as less than Utopian, with performers bearing lines of string or coloured triangles ultimately breaking free of the constraining choreography. (SO’R)
