Konger

Konger is a Polish performance art group from Kraków, Poland, established in 1983 by a group of professional artists [1] in protest against the imposition of Martial law in Poland.

The Group was founded by Wladyslaw Kazmierczak, Artur Tajber, Marian Figiel and Marcin Krzyżanowski.

The performance in Zakład nad Fosą was transmitted live through video equipment and monitors outside the gallery.

[2] The performances of Konger Group triggered strong criticism from the Polish authorities and resulted in a ban on performing in public for Artur Tajber,[citation needed] issued by the local committee of the Polish United Workers' Party.

The artists stopped performing as a group in 1990 but remain active individually.
