Cricoteka's Living Archive of Tadeusz Kantor: Interview with Director Natalia Zarzecka

Located in Kraków, Poland, the Cricoteka functions as a dynamic repository dedicated to Tadeusz Kantor, an influential Polish artist of the 20th century. Since its establishment in a contemporary building designed by Biuro Architektoniczne Wizja and nsMoonStudio in 2014, the facility has drawn inspiration from Kantor's sketch of a man with a table. It acts as a museum, archive, and exhibition venue showcasing Kantor's contributions. Director Natalia Zarzecka highlights the upcoming 2025 exhibition 'Kantor. Terapia della visione,' which links Kantor's influence to modern artists. A notable recent acquisition is a preparatory drawing from the 1942 performance 'Il ritorno di Ulisse.' Additionally, the exhibition features Joseph Beuys's insights on art's transformative potential and includes the 'Wild Frolics' exhibition for children, available until 11/10/2026.
