Biography:
Katarzyna Mądrzycka-Adamczyk graduated with honours from the Faculty of Textile and Clothing of the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź, Poland in 2006. Broadly defined artistic textile is explored by her in many different ways, also by creating small and big weaving forms, as well as using different techniques. Katarzyna likes to use literally and figuratively the “readymades” concept in her works. She founds titles an integral part of her works, enabling to enrich the artwork and express everything that was not expressed by the form itself. Agnieszka is an author of the “Ja, Kosmos” (eng. Me, Cosmos) artistic project from 2013. The project consists of five round, crocheted fabrics (diameter: 165 cm = the artist's height). Each willing person can pass a button or a bead, making it part of a shared history / “herstory”. She is an organizer of the group crocheting event called “action crocheting”. She has participated in several dozen exhibitions, including the Polish National Exhibition of the Unique Textiles in the Central Museum of Textiles in Łódź in 2013 and 2016; and the 7th International Painting and Unique Textile Biennial in Gdynia, Poland in 2013; the “Z krosna do Krosna” International Artistic Linen Cloth Biennial held by the Museum of Crafts in Krosno (2012, 2014, 2016); the Polish National Exhibition of Miniature Textile in the Central Museum of Textiles in Łódź in 2010.
