Zuzanna Kozłowska
Zuzanna Kozłowska (ur. 1997, Olsztyn) — artystka wizualna, której praktyka osadzona jest w obszarze grafiki warsztatowej, obiektów przestrzennych i instalacji. Absolwentka Pracowni Litografii na Wydziale Grafiki oraz Pracowni Poetyki dr. Wojciecha Bąkowskiego na Wydziale Sztuki Mediów Akademii Sztuk Pięknych w Warszawie. W swojej twórczości bada poetyckie i narracyjne wymiary przedmiotów codziennego użytku, wnętrz i przestrzeni architektonicznych. Interesuje ją transformacja materiałów i relacje przestrzenne – często pracuje ze znalezionymi elementami przemysłowymi i surowymi materiałami, które włącza do wielowarstwowych kompozycji. Ślady obecne w obiektach i strukturach traktuje jako punkt wyjścia do rekontekstualizacji ich historii i budowania nowych znaczeń. Grafika warsztatowa jest dla niej zarówno medium, jak i narzędziem konceptualnym pozwalającym kwestionować zagadnienia reprodukcji, czasowości i interwencji w przestrzeń. Jest współzałożycielką Lure.9701 – nomadycznego, artystycznego projektu wystawienniczego. Obecnie uczestniczy w programie Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen dla sztuki w przestrzeni publicznej (2024/2025), prowadzonym przez Marie Lund i Francescę Astesani. Laureatka Inicjatywy Entry 2024 oraz Grand Prix Biennale Młodych „Rybie Oko” 2024. Jej indywidualna wystawa Willa lakiernika była prezentowana w Bałtyckiej Galerii Sztuki Współczesnej (2025). Mieszka i pracuje w Kopenhadze.
