Wojtek Kostrzewa - b. July 17, 1987 in Warsaw, Poland.
Visual artist, designer, father.
He studied in Warsaw and Berlin. He currently lives and works in São Paulo.
His practice is grounded in collective activities and participation.
His approach merges the pure course of life, its theoretical sphere, and related political implications.
His work bridges and subverts several media, offering glitches between private and public spaces. Each artwork sparks from impulses that unceasingly modify reality, witnessing transient missions as tantamount to a continuous revolution.
His works were exhibited in Propaganda Gallery Warsaw, Pivo Gallery Sao Paulo, Raster Gallery Warsaw, Benaki Museum Athens, Salon Akademii Gallery Warsaw, and others.
He is co-founder of the Zbiorowy Collective.
