Grzegorz Kowalski (born 1942) is a sculptor, performer, installation artist, art critic and pedagogue. He received his art education in the studios of Oskar Hansen and Jerzy Jarnuszkiewicz, which were part of the Sculpture Department of the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. These experiences had a longstanding effect on how his artistic practice developed and his later approach to pedagogical methods. He integrated the visual alphabet of Hansen with a practice rooted in Jarnuszkiewicz’s focus on process and individual experience. From the moment he joined the Repassage Gallery, he began to focus on participatory actions, which he documented in photographs. He created his own didactic program for his students, which was known as Common Space. Personal Space. (Source)
