About the Item

Aleksandra Pollner Gleaning: Table, 2022 Found and donated styrofoam, polyurethane, steel frame, papier-mâché, lacquer, glass 14 x 58 x 26 in GLEANING by ALEKSANDRA POLLNER Gleaning in this body of work is a gathering of cultural and material leftovers by highlighting and utilizing found and donated styrofoam which has undergone numerous treatments and embalming techniques. Formed styrofoam, like a prehistoric carcass, has always captivated my imagination — of what it once held, protected; and the inevitable anthropological question of what it may say about our civilization. According to the EPA, 96% of styrofoam in the US is discarded into landfills to never decompose or break down. With trash bins overflowing with styrofoam throughout the pandemic lockdowns and panic buying, I began to collect and run these pieces through various techniques and traditional methods of making such as suminagashi (the ancient art of Japanese paper marbling), hydroprinting, gilding, and techniques used in historical papier-mâché furniture (where my receipts and paper mail have served their purpose), in addition to the industrial clay and resins encasing some of the work. The UN/RE/DE contextualization-materialization of the work creates an open-endedness of a material and consequently, its ability to shift across borders and value systems. This body of work, just as in my previous work, reflects a meditation and focus on material. Material not in just a literal sense but a more fluid and all-encompassing comprehension of material. Everything is material and material is everything. A story of an apocalypse, or perhaps something more regenerative.
