VISUAL ARTIST
|
Together with Paweł Wocial we create installation, object, sculpture, videos and scenography. We realized projects not only in the field of art but also in design, fashion, advertising, scenography and entertainment industry.
More info here or here. I write art blog Wernisażeria, the biggest in Poland blog about art and exhibitions. I write extensive vernissage columns: subjective, substantive, full of surprising digressions and specific humor texts on exhibitions, art, culture, history and literature. My articles are more than art criticism or writting only about art. The Wernisażeria fanpage has more than 92,000 really engaged and loyal fans, it is here that the most interesting discussions about art on the Polish Internet take place. |
