Alicja Dobrucka residency at Studio X, Mumbai, India Art Projects, 22nd December 2011 - 15 January 2012. Culture Translate. Artist residency as part of cross-cultural dialog between the traditional folk art and craft from Poland and India. Alicja Dobrucka will be reproducing - reinterpreting the traditional polish cut outs from Lowicz area.
In his work Manski is drawn to the challenges of constructing a language of metaphors in which meanings and materials fuse to open up new visual fields. The artist draws from a reservoir of allegories and archetypes; transforming and reversing meanings to create a modern mythology where widespread fascinations and fears take on new forms. His series Onania is an ironicalperspective n modern beauty, sex and the advertisment industry. The Onaniser is a masturbation machine, presented to the audience via hipnotic video commercial and designed to give ultimate pleasure, fulfillment and happines. Through its fascade of breakthrough technology it achieves the confidence of potential consumers. Onania builds the myth of an ultimate product spreading uncontrolllably; an incurable scourage.
