DESCRIPTION:Info: 415.551.9210\n\nPaulina Olowska is CCA's fall 2010 Capp Street 
 Project artist in residence and one of seven featured artists in the Wattis 
 Institute's program The Magnificent Seven. Her collages, performances, 
 paintings, and neons are influenced by myriad sources: Modernism, Soviet 
 and American propagandist typography, 1960s Pop art, French affichistes, 
 American graffiti art, contemporary fashion, and beyond. Her politically 
 and culturally nostalgic, if ironic, art practice is also informed by 
 meticulous research into local histories in post-Soviet Poland. She has, 
 for example, depicted in paint the cultural atmosphere of Lubelia, a Polish 
 province known in the 19th century as a haven for intellectuals, and 
 restored neon signs produced in 1961 by the state-owned Polish company 
 Reklama.\n\nOlowska holds a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of 
 Chicago and an MFA from the Academy of Arts, Gdansk, Poland. She has had 
 solo exhibitions at Sammlung Goetz, Munich; Portikus, Frankfurt am Main, 
 Germany; Museum Abteiberg, Monchengladbach, Germany; and Sopot National 
 Gallery, Gdansk, Poland. Her works have been included in group exhibitions 
 at the Turin Triennial, Italy; the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, 
 Florida; the 5th Berlin Biennial; Centre Pompidou, Paris; the 9th Istanbul 
 Biennial; and the 1st Moscow Biennial.\n\nThis lecture is cosponsored by 
 the CCA Wattis Institute. Lead sponsorship for the Capp Street Project 
 artist residency of Paulina Olowska is provided by the Nimoy 
 Foundation.\n\nGenerous support for CCA public programs in San Francisco 
 has been provided by Grants for the Arts / San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund.\n
