BIO / EXHIBITIONS PL bio / wystawy [kliknij tutaj] ANNA MARCZAK-GUTBorn in 1990 in Gdańsk, PL Lives and works in Warsaw, PL/Visual artist. Finished studies in 2016 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw with the Saxon Project duoshow exhibition at Prof. Andrzej Węcławski 6s graphic arts studio collaborated with Agnieszka Wasilewska. Also with an annex individual show at Prof. Ryszard Ługowski drawing studio. Thanks to a Warsaw city art scholarship, the diploma project was developed and rebranded in 2017 to Saski nie śpij! public space event, website, and publication. Before Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw she studied also at the Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław and Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń at Fine Arts Department. She currently focuses on painting, but working also in fields of drawing, graphic arts, murals, video, making objects, site-specific art installations, art in public spaces, exhibitions, and graphic design. Since 2016, she has been running her Sky/Heaven* „series” which actually includes every piece of her work. /Exhibited in Poland and around the world, including: National Museum of Art (La Paz, Bolivia); New Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow, RU); Rochester Contemporary Art (Rochester, NY); Center Gods House Tower (Southampton, ENG); BWA Tarnów Gallery (Tarnów, PL); Jan Tarasin Gallery (Kalisz, PL); Labirynt Gallery (Lublin, PL); Salon Akademii Gallery (Warsaw, PL); The Arsenal Municipal Gallery (Poznań, PL); The Wozownia Art Gallery (Toruń, PL); Printing and Writing Museum (Grębocin, PL); etc.___________________________________________*I regularly touch on the sky/heaven theme in my art practice. Sometimes the sky area plays the main role in the composition of my work, and sometimes contrary – it seems to be just a part of the greater wholeness. There are also times when I dedicate an individual canvas/frame to it, separating the sky from other picture elements. In Polish, we have a one-word – „niebo”, describing two meanings of it – physical and metaphysical, and this is exactly what I am interested in. I find it inspiring visually but also meaningful at the same time._________________EDUCATION• 2013–2016 Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, PL• 2012–2013 Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław, PL• 2010–2012 Faculty of Fine Arts at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, PL• 2006–2010 Secondary Art School in Gdynia, PL_________________EXHIBITIONS, PROJECTS ETC.2023• Mothers-Creators home residency tutoring project (tutor: Joanna Synowiec), Rotacyjny Dom Kultury na Jazdowie, Warsaw (PL)• Moving Nature Art, group show, Yeonho Culture Centre, Uljin, Republic of Korea • Nature Art Cube Exhibition, Geumgang Nature Art Biennale, Republic of Korea • in light we trust, online on*arte solo show• in light we trust, solo show, Młyńska12, Poznań (PL)• takie it easy, it’s art, group show, Fabryka Norblina, Warsaw (PL)• 6×6, group show, Rochester Contemporary Art Center, Rochester (NY)• BWA Salon IX, group show, BWA Tarnów (PL)/2022 • Waypoints, group show, Zielona Gallery, Łódź (PL)• International PEACE Mail Art Project, group show, Writing and Printing Museum, Grębocin (PL)• Park of Art, art in public group show, Radziwiłłowski Park, Biała Podlaska (PL)• 6×6, group show, Rochester Contemporary Art Center, Rochester (NY)• ACTION AUCTION, group show, Salon Akademii Gallery, Warsaw (PL)• Inspirational Woman Artist, group show, Gods House Tower, Southampton (UK)• online auction, Gods House Tower x a space arts, Southampton (UK)/2021 • Triennale Grenchen, Marketplace, Grenchen, Switzerland (CH) • TYPO Mail Art Project, group show, Writing and Printing Museum, Grębocin (PL)• BWA Salon VIII, group show, BWA Tarnów (PL)• Attempt 2020, group show, Pulsar Gallery (Jan Tarasin Gallery), Kalisz (PL)• Postcard from home, group show, Salon Akademii Gallery, Warsaw (PL)/2020• Moscow Global Biennale of Graphic Design Golden Bee, New Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow (RU)• Salon BWA, group show, BWA Tarnów Gallery (PL)• edition of publication summarizing Saski nie śpij! project (with Agnieszka Jaśkiewicz), Warsaw (PL)• SKY/HEAVEN, Instagram exhibition at @galeria_telefon • Postcard from home, online project, Salon Akademii Gallery online• O R D E R, duoshow with Anita Owsianna, Autonomia Gallery, Warsaw (PL)2019 • BICeBé, Biennial of Poster Bolivia, National Museum of Art, La Paz, Bolivia (BO) • International Poster Biennale Lublin, UMCS Gallery, Lublin (PL)• Anima Mea, group show, Dobre Miejsce, Warsaw (PL)• Anima Mea, group show, Camaldolese Undergrounds, Warsaw (PL)• Anima Mea, group show (also during the Warsaw Night of Museums; curator: Betesda Foundation, cocurator: Vera Icon group), Warsaw Archdiocese Museum, Warsaw (PL)• HUNGER, group show, Artformator Gallery, Gdańsk (PL)2018 • The Fruit Arbor sculpture (with Agnieszka Wasilewska and Faustyna Makaruk), Night of Museums, Defabryka, Warsaw (PL)• Contemporary Art Review New Avant-garde, group show, Galeria Szyb Wilson, Katowice (PL)• Przebrzask (exhibition element during Faustyna Makaruk`s show), Rotacyjny Dom Kultury na Jazdowie, Warsaw (PL)• scholarship presentation of Saski nie śpij! project (with Agnieszka Jaśkiewicz) during the President of Warsaw meeting with scholars, Museum of Warsaw, Warsaw (PL)2017 • HOW COME?, group show, Labirynt Gallery, Lublin (PL)• Saski nie śpij!, realization (exhibition, sculptures, visual identity, etc.) and curating (with Agnieszka Jaśkiewicz) public space and online project, thanks to art scholarship of capital city Warsaw (PL) 2017, Saxon Garden, Warsaw [more about the project in PL: Polskie Radio Dwójka, Radio RDC] • Akademiks, new postacademical art review, group show, Burakowska 14, Warsaw (PL)• participation in Jestem Katarzyna Tretyn-Zecevic`s art project, Wozownia Gallery, Toruń (PL)2016 • be careful what you wish for, group show, Autonomia Gallery, Warsaw (PL)• BEFORE FLOWERS WILL BLOOM, group public space art project and show, Park Rydza-Śmigłego, Warsaw (PL)• Warsaw in arts `16, group show, CJNJ Gallery, Warsaw (PL)• DRAW NATURALLY!, group show, Wozownia Gallery, Toruń (PL)• KISSPRINT, solo and group show, Wolno Gallery, Warsaw (PL)• Shipyard, group show, WL4 – Mleczny Piotr, Gdańsk (PL)• cooperation during the WYD wall painting realization of author`s project (coordinator: Joanna Jaworska), Wrocław Leśnica (PL)• Saxon Project, diploma show (with Agnieszka Jaśkiewicz), promoter: prof.
