"I am fascinated and overwhelmed by a vastness and the beauty of universe and our planet. Through my conventional drawing and painting I document that fascination, through the animated installations I deconstruct what I observed and learnt and through my digital practice I synthesize my thoughts about what I have experienced…Through my whole art practice I am trying to understand the human position and condition in the context of the world as a valid element of the system, of the chain or a pattern constructing that world…"
Kasia Molga is a practising interdisciplinary artist, living and working in London. She studied Fine Arts and Animation in Academy of Fine Art in Poznan (MFA), Poland and Interdisciplinary Design in Central Saint Martin College of Arts and Design in London (MA), UK. She also studied film and video in the latter college (1998).
Her practice combines traditional media such as painting, drawing and traditional animation with cutting edge digital interactive and mobile media.
Through her pieces she questions viewer’s attitude towards conventions of understanding and defining the concept of “art”, while introducing new way of experience using modern technologies. Quite often she takes accepted definitions of various art forms step further, pushing boundaries of expression and perception of work of art. Her visual work mainly explores notion of Interconnectedness as ephemeral compassionate bonds among people entwined with the Universe.
Since Kasia’s first exhibition in Poland in 1992, she has exhibited her work worldwide. She presented her work in a number of galleries, venues and festivals, among them: ICA (UK), BBC British Film Festival (UK), Design Mai Festival (Berlin), Contemporary Arts Space Osaka (CASO) in Japan and OXO Tower (UK).
She also was nominated to number of awards and stipends, among them DMA’05 awards for her contribution to promote music through her website design work. She is commissioned on regular basis and her multimedia pieces supported events such as London Fashion Week (London) and Creative Links (London).
Currently Kasia runs her own studio which is a platform for her both commercial and non-commercial projects as well as dynamic space for sharing experiences, ideas and work with other practitioners from different places of the planet. She is a PhD candidate in University of East London and a senior lecturer in Limkokwing University of Creative Technology.
Prior to that Kasia was a lecturer in University of Greenwich, where she run three workshops: animation, digital design and net art. She has also taught in Westminster College.
