Jacek Tylicki
Jacek Tylicki (born 1951 in Sopot, Poland) is a Polish artist who settled in New York City in 1982.
Starting in 1973, Tylicki began sending sheets of canvas or paper into the wind, rivers, or forests and leaving them for a long while in a natural environment, thus forcing upon nature an attitude previously reserved to the artist: the creation of forms.
[1]Another installation was the Free Art, where Tylicki invited well-known artists, including Mark Kostabi and Rodney Alan Greenblat, to give away their art to the public for free.
Video and photography play an important role in his work as a record of its elusiveness and transience.
[2] Tylicki has exhibited his work internationally; a selection of group shows include: Land Art Mongolia Bienalle, Gobi Desert, Mongolia (2016);[3] Mananchira, Calicut, India (2015);[4] Museum of Contemporary Art in Kraków (MOCAK), Poland (2013);[5] Dublin Biennial, Ireland (2012);[6] Zacheta National Gallery of Art, Warsaw, Poland (2012);[7] Solo exhibitions include: those at Galerie Kanal 2, Copenhagen, Denmark (1980); Galeria BWA, Sopot, Poland (1980); Galerie Sudurgata 7, Reykjavik, Iceland () (1980); Gallery 38, Copenhagen, Denmark (1979); Galeria Sien Gdanska, Gdansk, Poland (1979); Galerie St. Petri, Lund, Sweden (1979); Galeria Akumulatory 2, Poznan, Poland (1979);Galerie Sudurgata 7, Reykjavik, Iceland (1979); Gallerie Porten, Lund, Sweden (1976); BTJ Gallery, Lund, Sweden (1976)[citation needed] Bunkier Sztuki Collection at Gallery of Contemporary Art, Krakow[8]
