This midcareer survey of the work of this iconoclastic visual artist accompanies an exhibition of his art at the Weisman Art Museum in 2020.
A professor of design and new media art at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and a codirector of Art(ists) On the Verge, his art and performance push boundaries, embrace contradictions, and welcome participation.
Born and trained in Poland, Szyhalski is a vital presence in the Twin Cities. "We Are Working All the Time!" he proclaims, both in his graphic design and in his thematic approach to interactive art.
His commitment to viewer engagement with art and meaning making characterizes all of his work, which constantly strives to advance the multiplicities and complexities of our understandings.
