Ana Rewakowicz

Ana Rewakowicz (www.rewana.com) is a multidisciplinary artist born in Poland, currently living in Montréal, Canada. She works with inflatables and explores relations between temporal, portable architecture, the body and the environment. In contrast to the stable mass of monumental sculpture and architecture, her costumes and structures are air-filled, mobile, and concerned with the places and people that activate them. Incorporating new materials and technology, she builds devices that create intimate, yet paradoxically public, experiences and fashions them based on function and travel for the contemporary nomad and the displaced. Her art crosses into many disciplines including invention, design, architecture and performance has been shown nationally and internationally. Her recent exhibitions include: Expression, Ste-Hyacinthe (2011), Joyce Yahouda Gallery (2011), CSW Laznia, Gdansk, Poland (2010); Pori Art Museum, Finland (2010); La Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris, France (2009); FREEZE, Anchorage, Alaska, US (2009); EMPAC Rensselaer, Troy, NY, USA; Liverpool Biennial, UK (2008); Stiftensen 3,14, Bergen, Norway (2008); Manif d'art 4 Biennal, Québec, Canada (2008); WÃinà Aaltosen Museo, Turku, Finland (2007); Kunstverein Wolfsburg, Germany (2006); Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal (2005) and ISEA 2004 Tallinn, Estonia.
