Gosia Wojas

Gosia Wojas is an artist and researcher currently based in Los Angeles, CA. She holds a BFA in Fine Art from California Institute of the Arts, and an MFA in Art from University of California, Irvine with a Critical Theory Emphasis from UCI’s School of Humanities.

Considering materiality of objects as a departure for research and to think through the entanglement of power and agency Wojas examines the political, social and economic signification of objects, materials and gestures often regarded as peripheral or insignificant. In employing the strategies of proximity, mimesis or performance within installations, she references the materiality, plasticity and phenomenological experience of a human body, subjectivity, identity and community.

Between the years of 2011-21 Wojas organized talks, screenings, exhibitions and performances, independently and as The Absent Museum and Projekt Papier, at venues in Los Angeles, Berlin, and Gdańsk.
