Gargy Twin (2024), sculpture
This hybrid creation is named using self-created diminutives derived from two adjectives: gorgeous and gargoyle. They are a frankensteiny creature with their body made of casts of different parts of the artist and they partner's body combined into one in July 2024. Most of their body constitutes of latex, which makes it strong, stretchy but also porous and delicate. Disregarding the environment around them, as they usually sleep, does not mean they are not open to interact and connect with others. The pillow they are placed on is made of fake leather originally dedicated for upholstery in nightclubs - their favourite material.
Artist biography
Kuba lives and works between Berlin, Warsaw and their hometown - Bełchatów. Their artistic practice is based on realizing interdisciplinary projects with performative character based on subjective experimental research and embodied auto-theory, using various media, tools and materials often irrational or frivolous. They also work with sound, perform, and run other projects under the pseudonym Apkvp. DJ-ing at queer parties and performing in pieces of other artists is an important part of their artistic practice, which they think of as queer world-making.
