Pierogi also presents the first one-person New York exhibition of the work of Bogdan Perzyñski. Born in Poland, Perzyñski exhibited mainly in Poland and Germany from the late 70s to the mid-80s. He now lives in Austin, TX where he teaches at the University of Texas at Austin. His work has been exhibited in California and elsewhere in the United States.

Shot in one uninterrupted take, "Balsamic Vinegar of Modena" shows a dinner. With added filters and interactive code the process, practice, and concept is remapped. The mise-en-scene is open to the "reader's" interaction. A dinner turns into a video, a video into film, and film into digital mass. The lines of genre distinctions are obliterated. Video direction and playback speed are open to choice and play. Operating as an interactive video projection, the viewers' movements throughout the room determine the rate and degree of disintegration and reconstruction.

Grants and fellowships from the University of Texas at Austin have allowed Perzyñski to pursue much of the creative and technological research necessary to his work.
