March 13 – April 26, 2015

Now on view at Maria Stenfors, Illegal Personal Contact With An Opponent is a solo exhibition of new work by Polish artist Norbert Delman. Delman uses the imagery of sports competition—a video of masked teams plays behind sports netting, a multimedia work houses audiovisual components within the image of a man’s flexed bicep—in a disorienting exploration of media portrayals of competition, power, and success. A student of Mirosław Bałka’s Warsaw studio, Delman combines video, sculpture, installation in reflections on the state of mass media and communication.
