Aga Paulina Młyńczak
Duration
Aga Paulina Młyńczak is an artist with a Polish/Scottish/Danish background. Młyńczak’s work is inquiry-led and often created in response to social histories that explore the interplay between power, intimate narratives, and the evolution of language. Młyńczak’s practice has frequently focused on uncovering or imagining the sonic and spatial properties of migration through installations, participatory art, and musical compositions. Recent research work at The New Centre for Research and Practice, where Młyńczak is a scholarship recipient and certificate student, focuses specifically on LGBTQIA+ histories, their transnational connections, and processes of politicisation in Central and Eastern Europe.
Młyńczak graduated from the Glasgow School of Art and has exhibited internationally. Notable exhibitions include The Revelator (2024), residency at ISSP Riga (2024), “Fixing a Leak” Architectural Fringe Glasgow (2025) and “Wake” for Cryptic Nights at CCA Glasgow (2025).
Cryptic’s Artist Residency Programme, delivered in partnership with Cove Park, offers musicians and digital artists dedicated time, space and professional support to focus on creative research and experimentation. The residency prioritises artistic development over final outcomes, enabling artists to take creative risks, explore new directions and deepen their practice. Alongside independent research and development, participants engage with peers, exchange ideas and benefit from shared learning in a supportive, collaborative environment. This opportunity is vital for both artists and Cryptic, playing a key role in nurturing the next generation of creative talent.
Since 2012, Cryptic has curated this annual residency at Cove Park, supporting the development of over 90 UK and international artists working across music, sound and multimedia practice.
In 2026, this programme is supported by Creative Scotland, Creative Compass Georgia, PRS Foundation, British Council’s Connections Through Culture Grants, the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation, Arts Council Malta and In Fine with support of the City of Geneva.
