Meeting with Piotr Bujak
-
During the next event in the Live series, we invite you to a conversation with Piotr Bujak — an interdisciplinary artist whose practice brings together art, research, and reflection on contemporary realities from an intercultural perspective.
- The discussion will focus on his work at the intersection of art and experimental anthropology, addressing questions of identity, media, politics, and cultural heritage. In his practice, Bujak develops strategies based on DIY approaches, low-budget aesthetics, and methods such as quick and dirty or hit & run, drawing on the traditions of conceptualism, minimalism, the late avant-garde, and arte povera.
- The artist was born in 1982 in Będzin. He is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków and the San Francisco Art Institute, and holds a doctorate from Tama Art University in Tokyo. He has been affiliated with the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków and the Academy of Art in Szczecin, where he co-ran the Studio of Sculpture and Media Actions with Daniel Rycharski.
- Between 2023 and 2025, he has been a specially appointed visiting researcher with the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) at Tokyo University of the Arts, within the School of Global Arts (Yoshitaka Mouri Lab).

{Live}
-
- Every week, we meet live with artists to talk about art: creative processes, works, and current experiences.
- We host both artists who have previously taken part in Ujazdowski Castle’s programme and those making their debut. In this series, we would like to focus on individual approaches and artistic practices.
- Why take part?
- The events will be recorded for archival purposes, and the recordings will be made available online through the Mediateka.
- In times of tensions and crises, thinking and talking together about contemporary art – which responds to today’s challenges in unconventional ways – helps strengthen social resilience. Art is not only the object – just as important are the process, the thinking, the emotions, and the relationships that accompany it. The meetings offer a closer look at how art is created and, most importantly, who creates it.
- Every week, we meet live with artists to talk about art: creative processes, works, and current experiences.
- The meetings are open to everyone, from people working professionally in culture and art, to those who are curious about artists and their work, or simply want to talk about art.
- We do our best to make the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art accessible to everyone – we would like to adapt the event to you and your needs. To help us do that, please contact our accessibility coordinator: dostepnosc@u-jazdowski.pl, no later than the Monday before the event.
