Iza Tarasewicz (b. 1981 in Białystok) – graduated from the Faculty of Sculpture and Performing Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań in 2008. She lives and works in Kolonia Koplany, a small village near Białystok where she grew up. Working with sculpture, installation, drawing and performance, her work has gained significant recognition in the country and abroad. She is the winner of the 2019 Bayerischen Kunstförderpreise award for fine arts and the 2015 VIEWS [Spojrzenia] award of the Deutsche Bank Foundation, in co-organization with the Zachęta National Art Gallery in Warsaw. In 2013, she was nominated for the Passportu Polityka prize for visual art. Her sculptural installations take the form of modular, flexible and mobile systems, which combine raw and modest functionalism with formal logic found in the natural world, scientific experiments and graphs and diagrams — figures of thought and diagrams of relationships that systematize knowledge and data and abstractly describe the interaction of phenomena. The artist finds inspiration for her work in classical Greek philosophy and quantum physics
