http://courage.btk.mta.hu/courage/individual/n30663

The exhibition in the Zachęta Art Gallery was the first monographic presentation of Wojciech Zamecznik's work. It concentrated mainly on the interconnections between graphic design and photography in Zamecznik's artwork. Nearly 300 objects shown at the exhibition - photographs, sketches, prints, documents, and films - are the proof for Zamecznik versatile heritage. In the same time, personal notes, detailed calendar, and accompanying texts shed light on the everyday struggles and reality of graphic designer in the beginning of socialist times in Poland. The exhibition shows also the independence of thought, ingenuity and innovation of Zamecznik as an art creator, as well as his connections to the progressive artists, such as Oskar Hansen, Henryk Tomaszewski, Jan Lenica.
