Milena Michalski
Installation Artist & Researcher
London
Milena Michalski’s practice explores place through the optical and its limits — site,
sight and beyond. Using layering, transparency and obscuring of images, in mixed media installations, film, video and print-making, she treats issues of perception, representation and abstraction, interweaving memory, trace and place.
Milena Michalski has just completed an MA (awarded Merit) in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London.
Recent exhibitions include a solo show at The South Lookout (Caroline Wiseman Modern & Contemporary), Chelsea Salon, ZAP Members Summer Exhibition and screenings at international film and video festivals. Her experimental short artists’ film ‘Grid References’ is being screening in September 2014 at the National Centre of Contemporary Arts (NCCA), Moscow, as part of the Derek Jarman Retrospective.
Recent awards include the first Chelsea School of Arts Residency and Arts Club Aldeburgh Beach Bursary, and the CCW Artist Moving Image Initiative Award.
