About This Item

Invitation to a photography exhibition of Józef Robakowski (b. 1939), one of the seminal figures of the Polish neo-avant-grade. A film and media artist, Robakowski was one of the founding members of the famous Workshop of Film Form (1970-1977). In 1978, along with Małgorzata Potocka (b. 1953), he also co-founded the Exchange Gallery in their private apartment, in Łódź. The Exchange Gallery hosted events, and exhibitions but also collected art works, mail art, video and ephemera of performances, creating a library and archive of the Polish and international neo-avant-garde movement throughout the 1980s. Today the archive and library assembled at Exchange Gallery comprise one of the largest private collections of East European and international neo-avant-garde in the world. In 2016 the collection was given by Robakowski to the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw for cataloging and display.

The Gallery Znak was founded in 1973 by Janusz Szczucki in Białystok. Invitation to a photography exhibition of Józef Robakowski (b. 1939), one of the seminal figures of the Polish neo-avant-grade.
