Comments by an art historian/curator Museum
Moderner Kunst, Vienna
The works of Miroslav Balka () are identified by
the precise manipulation of elemental forms,
measurements that are in tune with human
dimensions, as well as by the delicate employment
of carefully selected materials. Balka allows his
materials to articulate themselves insofar as
he emphasizes their physical properties, by
raising the reverberations of their aesthetic
appeal, and also in employing them to convey
meaning. The artist works exclusively with found
objects in particular waste-products,i.e. objects
which are loaded wih traces and as such, in
themselves, contribute a narrative.

Quote from an interview with Miroslav Balka about
"1120 x 875 x 2 Can you imagine that a few
curators bought 100 kg of typical Polish soap,
they cut it and nobody mentioned that it didn't
smell. As a matter of fact the essence, the heart
of that work is its scent. It doesn't matter that
it is smeared over the surface. It is about the
dissemination of the scent. Nobody noticed the
fact that it didn't smell suitable. If I hadn't
come, have a look at it (there was no scent at
all over there) they probably would have put it
on the floor in that form. The meaning of the
work would have been completely destroyed.
