Matyl­da Krzykows­ki is a design­er and cura­tor focus­ing on col­lab­o­ra­tive and per­for­ma­tive projects in phys­i­cal and dig­i­tal space. Krzykowski’s work is intro­spec­tive, as it explores and exper­i­ments with the inner mech­a­nisms of design, art, and archi­tec­ture. As such, her projects dis­sect the design process to its dif­fer­ent stages—from mate­r­i­al and per­son­al ori­gins, to method­olo­gies and edu­ca­tion; from net­works to social pro­jec­tions, and the spec­trum in between. With a strong per­spec­tive on trans­dis­ci­pli­nar­i­ty as a dis­ci­pline, her work with­in these ques­tions explores not only con­tent but also form, for which artis­tic links are made. Among oth­ers, her tools of explo­ration have includ­ed instal­la­tions, scenog­ra­phy, art direc­tion, chore­og­ra­phy, reportage, TV game shows, the­ater, and inno­v­a­tive and exper­i­men­tal for­mats that range from exhi­bi­tions and work­shops to inter­ven­tions and talks.
