Krzysztof Zarebski “Photographs 1972-2012”

CREON Gallery

This event has ended.

Large scale photographs documenting 40 years of performances, live installations and films by a founding member of the Body Art movement in Poland in the early 1970’s. Still active in both Warsaw and New York, Krzysztof Zarebski practices performance art, photography, film making and sculpture.

“Zarebski transforms himself into a magician. For him, staged perversion and lust have become tools of both attraction and sublimation.” - Marek Bartelik, ARTFORUM

Zarebski worked with Helmut Kajzar in his experimental theatre in the 1970’s and designed sets for productions of Kajzar’s plays in theatres and galleries in Warsaw and Berlin. He moved to New York in 1981 and began collaborating with The Rivington School performance artists group. Erothemes of the Weakening Eros, a 350-page monograph of Zarebski’s work in the context of the history of performance art in Poland and the United States, authored by Kazimierz Piotrowski, was published in Poland in 2009. His most recent performance at CREON was Every $tory i$ a Gem in 2012.
