Alicja Kwade is certainly one of the most important visual artists of her generation. On a conceptual level her artistic practice explores and questions the structures of our everyday reality and society and the perception of time, while on a formal level, Kwade manifests her work in the medium of the sculptural object, photography and video. Her work was exhibited at Mudam, Luxembourg; Bass Museum of Art, Miami Beach; Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen; Hayward Gallery, London; YUZ Museum, Shanghai; Fondazione Giuliani, Rome; Museum Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich; La Biennale di Venezia; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Kunsthalle Schirn Frankfurt; Haus am Waldsee Berlin; Kunsthalle Wien; Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit; CCA Wattis Institute, San Francisco; Centre Pompidou, Paris, ; Daimler Art Collection, Stuttgart; Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin and many others.

 Alicja Kwade works as an artist distinguished by her ability to use basic materials and everyday objects, questioning their condition, meaning and functionality through artistic intervention. In this way, Kwade engages with the structural properties of objects and the reality of their matter, revealing diverse possibilities of perception while examining social conventions and assumed certainties. The artwork Transfer of Properties implies a relationship between two objects, a stone duplicated in copper and connected to the original stone by a metal pole, giving the effect of transformation from copper to stone or vice versa. The work, on both a conceptual and formal level, undoubtedly addresses key strategies of Alicja Kwade's artistic practice, while at the same time being conceived in a way that directly challenges the spectator's ideas about space and its perception.
