Bogna Burska, a visual artist using many forms of expression and playwrite, currently a professor at the Faculty of Artistic Research and Curatorial Studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. From 2006 to 2024, she worked in the Intermedia Department at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk. Her works address themes of physicality, memory and emotion, often drawing from social narratives and visual pop-culture clichés. She juxtaposes what is beautiful with what is widely considered ugly, revolting or rejected. Blood-red colour is a recurring motif in her work: installations immersed in blood-red paint and red paintings. Her practice is often described as a meeting point between critical art and aesthetic inquiry. For many years, she also worked with found footage, examining the mechanisms through which contemporary narratives are produced and represented. She later returned to painting, which took on a new, organic and delicate form. She is the author of Nest, The End of Violence (with Magda Mosiewicz), Revolt of the Deaf. Renewal, and other texts presented in art galleries and theatre spaces. As of late, she has mainly been working with themes of communication and structures of mutual understanding in changing ecosystems. She exhibits in Poland and abroad; her work combines an artistic perspective with research and teaching. In 2006 together with Daniel Kotowski, she represents Poland at the Polish Pavilion at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
