Janetka Platun

Artists

Janetka Platun’s practice incorporates sculpture, film and installation. Her art is shaped by phenomenological ideas, posing questions about our existential and moral relationship to our surroundings. These reveal deeper meanings of home, belonging and loss. Her work attends to the inter-relational complexities of people, place, time, memory and desire.

Janetka is an Artist Fellow at Queen Mary University of London. She has exhibited extensively and received awards from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, British Council, Leverhulme Trust and Arts Council England.

2015

In 2015 Peckham Platform commissioned Janetka to work with local groups to respond to a fire that devastated Southwark’s Cuming Museum. The resulting exhibition was called Cuming: A Natural Selection.
