Biography
Studied at the Technical University and the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. In 1965 created the first paintings in the series "Attempts to visually present statistical distributions", where he used a black and white square as the basic unit of structure, and their arrangement resulted from chance. In 1966 he received an award at the Symposium of Artists and Scientists in Pulawy. In 1967-77 he created set designs at the Polish Theater in Warsaw, among others. Since 1976, he started "Game Salons", to which he introduced random participants. After 1980, he created spatial forms - the so-called geometry in tension. More important spatial realizations are: Goriucken 1976, a 1980 project for Hamburg, participation in Kunststrasse Rhon in 1986. He had about 50 solo exhibitions; more important group exhibitions are: Sao Paulo Biennale (1969), Nuremberg Biennial of Constructivism (1969 and 1971).
