period
performance/installaction, 2009 | LEVITATION
Finding mental and physical point of levi-tation. Using a part of nature, my body and two opposite colors, i want to tear of reality to float above ground, above people and above myslef.
performance/street action, 2008 | SCAR-FACE
I created a scar on my body. Symbol of stigmatization and uniqueness. With such a characterization headed for the city of Krakow. I photographed the experienced people on the street. I met with a mixed response, because the scar reminded that bears the image of Jesus' mother Mary's Church in Krakow. This stigma that we carry from childhood is called faith in what invisible. Stigma came out on top becoming a reality in the world of illusion.
installaction, 2008 | RITUAL: LOVECRAFT
I portrayed the role of Howard P. Love-craft, who as a child was celebrating rituals in honor of the self-made pantheon of deities. Cthulhu is one of the main gods of the pantheon, and has its place in the culture of the world, was also the inspira-tion for many other artists. Through performance art I wanted to pay homage to the master of my childhood that I spent on reading the master of horror stories.
installation/performance, 2010 | ESCAPE IN PLACE: WONDERING MIND
Video recording experiments completed by filing experience and inspiration is an attempt to consolidate the process of psycho-metaphysical and escape into the area beyond the declarations of con-sciousness as a condition of recognition. Hiding behind psycho-metaphysical thoughts of escape into the symbolism worked with the body as a static filter for wandering thoughts.
installation, 2011 | EGZEGEZIS
Installation of exegesis is my personal commentary which fits into the context of general and context indicated, link them with resources and symbols contained in the work. The basic idea which led me during the creation process was the inability to accurately show and display values such as: identity, faith, interpreta-tion, context appropriate - which aspire to the main themes of art and philosophy of the modern world. The installation con-sists of: nine cut from the bible "Adams", bible black and white, clean copy of the bible from which I cut "Adams", a video documenting the process of cutting
performance-in-process, 2012 | GOLEM: LABOLATORY
Assumptions: 1 Determining the purposeby the randomness. (Proposed galleryabout the "issue of self-sufficiency" by meAdam Gruba (philosophy GOLEM) 2 = Aim. Point. Point = Place of Work. Place to Work= Workshop self-sufficient. Third selfsufficient in this case is to build a workshop during the exhibition. Labora-tory in the Laboratory. House in House. fourth building is getting out of order, and entering within the specifed limit 500 steps (meters) starting from the door of the gallery. While I will be starting to collect things (ready-made) I need to build the Laboratory. 5 Exhibition "there is" only on conclusion of the whole action (after 6days), will be built in the "process" will notact finite. 6 event will be documented andrecords will be shown on the last day "allactions"
performance/installation, 2012 | GOLEM: WORKSHOP
Attribution is Golem. Assign yourself the characteristics of one of his domains. Why so much takes us to search for new overlays. We do not see them exactly, they are in some way mentally transpar-ent, invisible without a proper filter that we have to create to begin to understand some things. I asked my friend for help in restoring the user concept of my perfor-mance. Found chewing exercise in which the box was accidentally construction manual tent / house. Accidental connec-tion of ideas in unity. Building the idea of a building space, and vice versa.
performance/video, 2011/2012 | GOLEM: PREVIEW SERIES
GOLEM is a series of performances based on his own philosophy (Adam Gruba) as an emerging powerhouse in its own way-against-the method of construct-ing a message to the space chosen intui-tively as possible to adapt the situation of being a physical representation of the deduction inside the mind as the main representative of the context and its own traditions.
performance/object, 2013 | WAYANG GOLEM
The idea arose and was carried out in Indonesia. Shadow Theatre is so vitally important part of culture and has a great influence on the thinking of the recipient. Completely different from the Western concept of the idea of interlacing mythol-ogy of the events of everyday life inspired me to vaccinate my concept. Golem as my philosophy is looking for loopholes in the traditions and trying to fit in there, I used it. I transformed my body image in one of the puppet shadow theater using traditional techniques (leather puppet) and I gave her the right attributes. While performance in the old village at the foot of Mount Merapi, where dreams take on a different meaning, I made involving role-play their role by itself. Manipulated him, manipulating different culture in which I have tried to put their own tradition through vocal reading of a fragment of my philosophy. Wayang Golem briefly became a part of the old Javanese culture.
performance, 2012 | GOLEM: TRANSPARENCY TOAST
With her mouth filled with thick black paint to approach the glasses filled with clean clear water. Coming up with black lips "full form" mouth washed sequentially in each glass standing on the stage, creating a transparent image fading memory of that fight here and now. "Full form of" dissolved in action creating an image memory. A moment ago, and after a moment. Working through it as long as possible for as many permits wondered situation or matter. During the rinsing time we see the way he lives and has to go through our perception and perception, constantly losing the main thread appar-ently placed in a planned "timeline".
performance/conceptual, 2011 | GOLEM: POINT ZERO
Prime Meridian is the meridian since 1984 defined by the Ministry of Defence (U.S.) based on the global grid WGS 84 Prime Meridian based on WGS-84 replaces the existing Greenwich meridian, which runs through the observatory in Greenwich, London. In connection with the develop-ment of technology, the U.S. has devel-oped a more precise geographical grid, modeled on a more accurate model of the Earth. The project was called WGS (World Geodetic System) and in 1984 it was decided to replace the existing geo-graphic grid of WGS 84 But the shift has not been without meridians, including changing the position of the prime merid-ian, which is located about 102 meters east of its predecessor. Grid WGS 84 is only applicable geographic network in the world. It is modeled on the GPS, UTC time, and all the maps. I decided to go 102 meters to the new zero point, using him-self as a measuring tool.
