Izabella Gustowska was born in Poznań, Poland, where she lives and works. In 1972, she graduated from the State School of Fine Arts in Poznań (PWSSP). Since 1991, she holds the title of Full Professor of the School. She currently teaches at her alma mater, running the Multimedial Activity Studio at the Intermedia Department, and at the School of Humanities and Journalism teaching graphics.

Gustowska, who is regarded as one of the most interesting and influential Polish video artists, works in diverse media including photography, painting, graphics, performance and multimedia installations, exploring in her work the issues of identity in relation to gender, time and individual emotions.

I think it fascinates me. That possibility, as well as surveillance, fascinates me, and appearance on Facebook, and also that it's possible to be entangled so much, that a human being can loose their identity, because of existing in such different dimensions... that can lose the awareness of which existence is the real one.

Gustowska’s works can be found in numerous collections, including the Contemporary Graphics Collection of the Edmonton Art Museum, the Albertina Graphic Collection of the Ludwig Foundation Museum of Modern Art in Vienna, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Lilja Graphic Art Collection in Mariefred, the Zachęta National Gallery of Art in Warsaw, the Center for Contemporary Art at Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw and the WRO Art Center in Wrocław. Her works have also been presented at the Venice Biennale and twice at the Biennale in Sao Paulo. As a curator, Gustowska has organized numerous exhibitions and artistic events.

Eyal Sivan

Eyal Sivan is a documentary filmmaker born in Haifa, Israel. He is a self-taught author, who at first dropped out of school to pursue fashion photography. On one of his field trips to make fashion photographies, he discovered a location in a desert some kilometres away from the Black Sea. A fugitive camp, which was said to be abandoned, turned out to have people still living there.

Later on, when he moved to Paris, this experience turned into his first documentary film Aqabat-Jaber (1987), which was shown at Cinéma du Réel Film Festival at Centre Georges Pompidou and won the first prize. After this initial success, Sivan continued to make films, which have one after another won prizes, but also initiated severe public debates. His films Izkor, Jaffa: An Orange’s Clockwork, Route 181, The Specialist have all achieved the status of cult documentary films. Nevertheless, Route 181 was censored in France and after severe accusations also peaked into a law suit.

Eyal Sivan is often marked with labels of controversy and politics. But, to put it in his words, the very nature of work in a public space inflicts a responsibility and there is no such thing as a non-political author. When asked about his status of a controversial author he calmly replies: „The label of controversy says nothing about me, but it says a lot about the person who uses it. In other words: if I wouldn’t be called controversial, what would I be? A consensual author? I would rather go to sleep…”.

I would say that Europe is sick. People are afraid to think politically. Europe is facing a difficult situation in which crisis is understood as a state of total depression. But for me crisis is a moment of potential.

Izabella Gustowska’s presentation entitled 3xR is a form of reflection upon her own oeuvre consisting of video excerpts from works created within the last decade. Referring to the artist’s words, it is an attempt to look at own works from a „slightly ironing point of view”.

The most important for me is the state of imagination. Imagination that can easily replace the vulgar reality.

3xR stands for her 3 Romances: with art, technology, and autobiography.
