Biography
Studied at the Department of Sculpture of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw from 1981 to 1985, and then from 1985 to 1988 at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York. He lives and works in Warsaw. He is a professor at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts, where he leads the Interdisciplinary Design Studio at the Department of Design. His visionary artistic activity is situated at the intersection of sculpture, architecture, design and landscape design, with particular aspects of the human body as a starting point. The artist designs biomimetic architecture that mimics the functions of the human body. Among other projects, Kozakiewicz was the author of designs for the revitalized coal mine in Boxing (Lower Lusatia), for which elements of the human face such as the nose, mouth and ear were the model. A monumental sculpture titled Project Mars (2003-2007), where an amphitheater was placed in the center of the clammy, earthen ear, was sent for realization. Since 2012, Kozakiewicz has been creating a series titled "Anatomy of Space." It is a moving spatial model plotted by lines connecting 7 holes in the human face, corresponding to the seven senses. The multi-walled, complex geometric creations created in this series are autonomous sculptures, but also inspiring models for architectural design. Kozakiewicz is the author of many conceptual projects in open space: towers, bridges, as well as museum buildings, for which he has received awards and prizes. His project realized on a smaller scale can be seen at the Polish Sculpture Center in Oronsko. It is a "Passage" - a winding bridge located on the water surface of the Rolin Pond. In 2006 Kozakiewicz represented Poland at the Venice Architecture Biennale. In 2017, he presented the series "Architecture of Space" in a solo exhibition at the Zachęta National Art Gallery. The exhibition was accompanied by the publication of an extensive catalog summarizing the artist's work to date.
