BIO

Iza Koczanowska is an artist, researcher, and exhibition designer with a background in interior architecture, based between Amsterdam and Warsaw. 

Her context- and place-specific practice works through spatial, sound and material research to create sculptural, relational installations. By engaging with sociopolitical dynamics, including postcolonial inequities, tourism and extractivism, she reflects on systemic transformations and coping with reality through nostalgia, exploring temporal overlaps and opening multi-entity speculative realms.

She graduated in Intermedia Arts and Interior Architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow and holds an MA cum laude from MIARD at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam.

She has participated in art residencies at M4gestatelier in Amsterdam, Snehta in Athens, and Sesama in Yogyakarta. Among others, her work has been presented at Dutch Design Week, Festival Law of the Desert, the Nieuwe Instituut, CSW Łaźnia in Gdańsk, and in a solo exhibition at Rondo Sztuki in Katowice.
