The navigating through the station onto the street became far more challenging due to the number and type of the users consisting mainly from passengers travelling with luggage and hurried professionals. Due to air relatively low solidity and thin profile, the structure was easily missed until almost the very last moment of contact. A motion pattern was established: observing crowd dynamics, pausing to decide on the next few steps and altering the course to take advantage from the spatial gaps that appeared temporarily. The crowd behaviour was very different from the passers-by encountered on the first leg of the journey: faster, more aggressive, engaged in the conversations or executing tasks on their handheld devices...
Anja’s new body of work explores sculptural objects as agents or tools for negotiating multiple sites and layers of activities. Here, the estate agents signs are re-appropriated to create provisional structures and correx print is transferred to decorate fabric pouches. Presented in an exhibition, do these objects stand apart from initial idea to become purely aesthetic propositions?
Anja grew up in Poland during civil unrest and the fall of communism. Before art school, she studied industrial engineering. These experiences inspire Anja’s interests in spatial identities and experimental approach to materiality and site. She was awarded Kenneth Armitage Foundation Young Sculptor prize and is currently an MPhil candidate at Royal College of Art.
