Piotr Szyhalski is a Polish-born and trained multimedia artist working in the United States since 1990. The Minneapolis-based artist’s wide-ranging practice encompasses an array of media and genres, including poster designs, drawings, mail art, photographs, painted murals, prints, web-based digital art, sound art, installation, and performance. His multilayered works explore communication/exchange, extreme historical phenomena, and the relationships between the individual, society, history, and time. In 1998 he established Labor Camp, an ongoing art project guided by the motto “We Are Working All The Time!”

Szyhalski’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and is in the collections of KADIST (Paris/San Francisco), Minneapolis Institute of Art, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Walker Art Center, Weisman Art Museum, and others. Recent monographs include COVID-19: Labor Camp Report (2021, Frank) and Piotr Szyhalski: We Are Working All the Time (2020, Weisman Art Museum), which accompanies his 2022 survey exhibition.
