The University Gallery is pleased to premiere recent video works by the internationally acclaimed Polish artist, MIROSLAW BALKA. This is the artist's first museum exhibition in the U.S. to focus on his new video installations. Miroslaw Balka uses simple means to film everyday scenes and moments, most of them observations of details which go on to assume mysterious and poetic dimensions. His work is intimate and self-reflective, exploring personal memory within the context of historical memory, using deliberately limited means. Minute events produce images of great intensity, which touch upon fundamental human experiences, fears and hopes.
