Paweł Althamer

Open Art Projects

Almost since the beginning of his artistic career, the works of Paweł Althamer circle around the opposite poles of the figural sculpture and collective activities engaging other people in the creative process. By inviting various social groups to co-operation the artist asks a question concerning the status and position of the author, which is so characteristic of the last decade. He creates a framework and a proposal whereby the invited participants define their own identity.
