Gosia Lehmann is an artist in transit. Traversing between the disciplines, she observes the construction of the narratives that rule our society. Back from her voyages, Gosia Lehmann creates multi-media spaces, shining a spotlight on current themes and phenomena from the continuous emergence of reality. Her practice reflects the present times; dominated by technology and governed by data, where the boundaries between truth and fiction are blurry. She works with film, performance and scenography.
In 2019 Gosia Lehmann initiated and co-founded Lagoon Parliament – an artist alliance challenging hierarchical conventions – providing an independent framework for art productions. She’s also co-founder and member of Solaris Space, Berlin.
