Born and raised in Romania in the ’90s, Andreea Anghel lives and works in Wrocław, Poland. While her work may vary in terms of style from one show to the next, the underlying theme tends to aggregate around subverting standard formal preconceptions that might have already colonised the viewer’s expectations, mixing ready-mades with time-consuming manual and emotional labour. And then there’s irony, lots of irony and cynicism.
