SUKA OFF is a Poland based artistic group existing since 1995.
They remain completely independent and not supported by any public institutions
due to the character and content of their work.
SUKA OFF has been creating work across visual theatre, performance art,
club action, installation, photography, video art and music visuals.
Their work have been presented in theatres, art galleries, clubs and festivals in most European countries, as well as in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Japan.
The founder and leader of SUKA OFF is Piotr Wegrzynski. Other group members are Sylvia Lajbig, Hellen Burrough and Maciej Dziaczko.
SUKA OFF is constantly supported by other artists collaborating on individual projects. Among them are performers (Dominik Zlotkowski, Xenomorph-3, Kumi Monster, Bitch von Kicz)
and musicians (Wiracki, Miroslaw Matyasik, Uniform: Wajid Yaseen & Alice Kemp).
The recurring themes of SUKA OFF art are:
- the human carnality in all its biological and physiological aspects
- the attempt to define the "third gender" by blurring the individual attributes / sexual codes culturally arrogated to the male and female
- the mechanisms of human nature, the virus of violence and fear symbolized by synthetic fluids (liquid latex / acrylic paint)
- the search of alternative and radical forms of communication based on
the connection between the living human body and electronic device functions
- the postindustrial aesthetics, the "clash" between human body and the substance of steel / aluminum / concrete / silicone.
SUKA OFF is also available for workshops, lectures and artist talks.
