Based in New York City, Polish-American artist Monika Weiss creates
environments that explore the body as cultural and physical signifier, in
the context of historical and individual memory. 'Much of her work to
date is structured as a remarkable, individual counterpoint between
technological media (video projection) and the ancient activity of
drawing, which is presented in a primal state inseparable from the body
as a whole.' (Guy Brett, London, 2007). In 2005 the artist's first partial
retrospective exhibition was on view at the Lehman College Art
Gallery, The City University of New York, followed by the publication
of a monographic survey catalogue and a New York Times review.
