 What the press says about Katarzyna Pollok's paintings and objects - als Text
Ha egyetlen kulcsszóval kellene meghatározni Katarzyna Pollok alkotói világát, akkor a multikulturalizmus illene rá a leginkább, a szónak a legtágabb értelmében: úgy munkáit, mint származását (anyja: fehérorosz-kozák, apja: lengyel-roma), de még a lakhelyét illetõen is, hisz családjával együtt egy igazi multikulturális környezetben él: a berlini Kreutzbergben.
Katarzyna Pollok mûvészetét értékelve vissza kell kanyarodnunk virtuális galériájának címszavaihoz, hogy immár nemcsak az õ mûveirõl, hanem általában a mûvészetrõl is néhány bennünk megfogalmazódó kérdésre megpróbáljunk választ keresni, jelesül arra, hogy valakinek, bárkinek a mûvészetét mennyire, milyen mértékben határozza meg a nemzetiségi vagy az etnikai hovatartozása?
Úgy vélem, hogy e nem is olyan egyszerû kérdés megválaszolásának egyik kulcsát maga Katarzyna Pollok adja meg, ahogyan a virtuális galériájának címszavait felsorakoztatja a hon-lapján, hisz a sorrend egyben az õ értékrendjét is tükrözi.
