Piotr Szyhalski is a Polish-born and trained multimedia artist working in the United States since 1990. The Minneapolis-based artist’s wide-ranging practice encompasses an array of media and genres, including poster designs, drawings, photographs, painted murals, prints, web-based digital art, sound art, large-scale installations, and public performances. Szyhalski’s work has been exhibited, and is in numerous collections nationally and internationally.
Presenting selected works from 3 decades of his multidisciplinary practice, Szyhalski examines the labor of witnessing, processing and recording extreme historical phenomena. Special focus is given to the "COVID-19: Labor Camp Report" project (a series of 225 drawings responding daily to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as multiple, simultaneously unfolding crises) and the many forms it assumed since 2020.
