The book is the first monograph dedicated to Barbara Kozłowska (1940–2008), a Wrocław artist, painter, and precursor of performance art in Poland. The study contains a detailed timeline of Kozłowska’s life and work, prepared by Marika Kuźmicz and Zbigniew Makarewicz, essays by Marika Kuźmicz, Piotr Lisowski, Karolina Majewska-Güde and Wiktoria Szczupacka, and a selection of texts by Kozłowska. The publication discusses and problematizes the artist’s work, placing it in the context of the Wrocław avant-garde of the 1960s and 1970s and in the context of the phenomenon of global conceptualism.
