Marek Wolfryd
Through long-term research projects, Wolfryd builds a conceptual framework that exposes the complexity of global narratives operating both within and outside the spheres of symbolic influence of the Western world. His works reflect and explore the means of mass production, consumer culture, copyright, and the mechanisms of art creation and distribution. Employing a methodology he terms "manufacturism", which involves the strategic outsourcing of production to a network of overseas and local suppliers, his practice materializes the very global supply chains it critiques. This approach results in artworks that examine contemporary manifestations of historical trade dynamics, making visible the entangled relationships between origin and copy, and production and consumption, in the late capitalist age.
