In the KW we have an embedded artist, so to speak. Cezary Bodzianowski decided to live in one of the studios and he has already been doing inconspicuous performances around town. One involved drawing people out of the subway exit with a U-shaped “magnet” made of styropore. And Tris Vonna-Michell will turn the attic of the KW into a space of his own, with sound works originated during his recent stay in Detroit and evolving during the show. Some of the work we show in the Biennial will remain in constant flux throughout. And some will just be there. The Biennial is oscillating between transience and presence, as we all do.
