"when the apostrophe becomes a catastrophe, or on language games and an impossible exactitude of science"

Polish artist Marlena Kudlicka talks with director Adam Budak and curator for the educational program Julia Meier about the strategy of delicate arguments, the communication of guilty numbers, the capacity of error, the ergonomics of doubt, the speculation of risky calculations, as well as the idea of the creation of form—from thought to physical form and the complicated obstacles that occur during this difficult process.

Two works by Marlena Kudlicka are currently on view at the Kestner Gesellschaft, which she drew from the tradition of the historical Avant-Garde, particularly Russian Constructivism, including Suprematist painting, the utopian architecture of Constructivism, and the legacy of Constructivist film experiments. For the Kestner Gesellschaft, in the area of the Tender Buttons Café, she developed a massive and filigree looking, elegant wall sculpture of about 17 meters titled one more than 1o.

Marlena Kudlicka, born in 1973 in Tomaszów Lubelski, Poland, received her Master of Arts in Painting and Drawing at the Faculty of Painting, Graphic Arts and Sculpture of the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan, Poland (1993-98). She lives and works in Berlin.
