Performance by Grażyna Roguski
Artist Grażyna Roguski has created a new artwork for the collaborative project If the Berlin Wind Blows My Flag. Art and Internationalism before the Fall of the Wall.
The piece is inspired by a screenplay draft written by Anja
Salomonowitz that features artist Maria Lassnig (a 1978 DAAD
Artist-in-Berlin Program fellow in Berlin) as the central character in a
Parisian bathroom setting.

This work is a part of Roguski’s ongoing
exploration of the archive of the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program and
works by female artists who participated in the program.
In June 2023,
Grażyna Roguski presented the performative intervention She Saw Him Stealing He Saw Her Burning at daadgalerie, delving into Joan Jonas’s encounters and experiences as
a Program fellow in Berlin. Both artists – Lassnig and Jonas – are
connected not only through their residencies in Berlin, but also through
their shared exploration of the female body as a conveyor of social
significance.
In her performances, Roguski interweaves aspects
of fashion, sculpture, and classical visual mediums and examines the
representation of the female body through choreographies informed by
gender roles and social contexts. In A Friend’s Bathroom, three
performers bring the intimacies of (Berlin) bathrooms into the
exhibition spaces of Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.) through a
series of successive sculptural interventions. Blurring the lines
between privacy and public display, the interiority and exteriority of
bodies and objects, the work transforms the domestic space into a site
where subconscious hierarchies are navigated.
The works of Grażyna Roguski (b. 1983) have been shown at institutions
including daadgalerie, Berlin (2023); Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für
Gegenwart, Berlin (2022, 2017); Kulturbrauerei Berlin (2021);
Künstlerhaus Bremen (2020); 1a Space Hong Kong (2017); SORT Vienna
(2017); Museum Arnhem (2016).
