Krzysztof­jastrubczak­łukasz­kaczmarek

The group, Krzysztofjastrubczakłukaszkaczmarek, consists of Łukasz Jastrubczak and Krzysztof Kaczmarek. Both artists mostly use video in their practice, seldom employing photography, which serves them primarily to document the extraordinary phenomena of the life of the group. Although the duo operates on the margins of each artist's solo careers, they have managed to create so many works that it recently became possible to mount a retrospective. The group was founded in 2010. Back then, Łukasz was living in Kraków, doing roughly the same he’s doing today while living in Szczecin, aside from having a son and teaching at the Academy. In those days, Krzysiek was studying in Vienna, also doing what he’s doing now, although today he’s more serious and he’s expecting the birth of his daughter. He has also been living in Warsaw for a few years now. While their individual careers are well known to me, I do not remember the circumstances of the group's foundation. I asked Łukasz and Krzysiek about it, but they cannot remember either.
