Zdzisław Sosnowski (b. 1947) graduated from the Wrocław Academy of Arts (PWSSP Wrocław). He is involved in experimental cinema and photography, performance and audio art. Sosnowski combines his creative work with being an active animator of artistic circles and an art theorist. In the 1970s, he was one of the most dynamic figures of the neo-avantgarde movement, the interests of which borders on conceptual and post-conceptual art. He was one of the first artists to utilize the language of pop culture and create his self-image. In Wrocław he was one of the members of the Actual Art Gallery and also cooperated with Permafo. Once he moved to Warsaw, he managed the Galeria Współczesna (Contemporary Gallery) together with Jacek Drabik and Janusz Haka. He co-organised the famous The Aspects of Contemporary Polish Art (1975) exhibition. In the following years, he headed the Studio Gallery, where he presented the work of Sol Le Witt and Mario Merz, among others. Sosnowski’s work has been shown at numerous individual and collective shows, amongst others in Galeria Akumulatory 2 (Poznań, 1973), The Dziekanka Gallery (Warsaw, 1973), X Biennale De Paris (1977), Presences Polonaises (Pompidou Centre, 1983), Wanda Dunikowski Galerie (Cologne, 1989). Many art critics have written about Sosnowski’s work and artistic approach, amongst them Marcin Giżycki, Bożena Stokłosa, Jan Stanisław Wojciechowski and, more recently, Łukasz Ronduda. Since 1982 Zdzisław Sosnowski lives and works in Paris.
