Once upon a time, a long time ago, as it was in February 2016, though today I am not able to say when exactly (I guess, the 20th of February), a meeting of the INTERNATIONAL JURY took place. The jury both filled with energy and saturated with knowledge, experience and “unrestricted intellect”, performed a backbreaking task …
When on 20th February 2016 I found out that the international jury chaired by Mr. Gabriel Kołat, after having seen 2519 works by 741 authors from 58 countries from around the world, decided to award Grzegorz Myćka the 1st Prize – a gold medal in category “Evil”, it sent shivers up and down my spine.

talking to professor Gabriel Kołat, The Strzemiński Academy of Arts Łódź Satyrykon: Working over this year’s “Sharp-eye skills” is run in some peculiar secret. What should we expect?

talking to Grzegorz Myćka, Satyrykon 2016 Gold Medal winner You’re a poster maker, graphic artist, and a musician as well. All your projects present some amount of, so called, “social engagement”. Despite being exhibited in quite a rude company, during the last year’s “Sharp-eye skills” your works drew attention with their sharpness, and a sense …
our interview with Agata Dudek Satyrykon: When in the mid 80’s Zygmunt Januszewski (born 1956) was invited to design the graphic layout of Satyrykon, he wrote a funny letter thanking for the “honour of being listed in the group of professionals” (we’ll come back to that later on) quoting flirtingly his wife: “You must have …

“Unconventionality, charisma and uncompromising attitude characterise this exhibition in the best way. I’m sure the ones who see it, won’t forget the emotions it brought in them for a very long time”, says Elżbieta Laskowska, the acting director of Museum of Caricature. “The thing which may attract the viewers’ attention is the unusual freedom of …
We’ve been waiting for a really long time, but it was worth it. We’ve received a kind of full option offer. Starting with that we’ve got not only the poster itself but also a thought which develops in three directions. How not surprising – Agata Dudek is well known for working in that way, which …
