Agnieszka Dutka
Scroll
Polish visual artist, printmaker, creator of artistic objects, Doctor in the discipline of Fine Arts (habilitated), and author of published literary texts.
Graduate of the Faculty of Graphic Arts of the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków (1977–1982). From 1993 to 2009, she worked as a graphic designer at the Kraków branch of Gazeta Wyborcza. Since 2009, she has been employed at the Faculty of Art of the University of the Commission of National Education (UKEN) in Kraków, at the Institute of Art and Design, and is currently in the position of university professor. In the years 2019–2021, she served as Deputy Chair of the Academic Council for Fine Arts and Art Conservation at the Faculty of Art of the UKEN in Kraków. She is currently a member of the Council of the Doctoral School at the same university and a member of the Audit Committee of the International Print Triennial Association in Kraków.
As an artist working in abstract printmaking, she has expanded her artistic practice to include other strategies employed in contemporary art. She has also published literary texts.
In recent years, Agnieszka Dutka has been incorporating fragments of texts in the form of manuscripts or typescripts into her artistic practice. Working, among other things, with her own inherited archives, through an expanded reflection on the meaning of word and sign in visual representation and artistic action, she explores narrative and formal connections between texts and artefacts distant from one another in time and form.
While continuing to work in printmaking (intaglio and digital techniques), she turns to intermedia projects as a form more appropriate to concepts situated at the intersection of document and art.
She has authored twelve solo exhibitions and participated in over one hundred group exhibitions in Poland and abroad. She was awarded the Premio Speciale at the Premio Internazionale Biella per l'Incisione in 1993 (Italy) and received an award at the 2nd International Biennale of Digital Printmaking in Gdynia (2010).
Her works are included in the collections of the National Museum in Kraków, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, the Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology in Kraków, the Museum of Printing in Warsaw, the Municipal Art Gallery in Łódź, and the Kraków branch of the Association of Polish Artists and Designers (ZPAP).
