KwieKulik (1971–1987)
KwieKulik is an artistic duo formed in 1971–1987 by Zofia Kulik (born 1947, Wrocław) and Przemysław Kwiek (born 1945, Warsaw). The artists started out as Oskar Hansen’s students at Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. From the early 1970s, they tried to give a radical political twist to Hansen’s Open Form theory and practice, and their strategy combined artistic activity with everyday life. At the turn of the 1960s and 1970s, they belonged to the first generation of Polish artists who rejected traditional means of expression in order to focus on media and the mechanical recording and reproduction of images.
