Even during my studies at Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk I began to organize various events which later turned out to become important occurrences. Since 2004 I have been in a director of Laznia Centre for Contemporary Art in Gdansk and what happens in this institution states my idea of art presentation and the direction of discussion about art's importance in social life.
