About 

Oskar Dawicki

(born 1971) — performer, creator of video works, photographs, installations and objects. In 1996, he graduated in painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, where, together with Radosław Nowakowski and Wojciech Kiwi Jaruszewski, he formed the Tu Performance group in the 1990s, inspired by the work of Zbigniew Warpechowski. In 2001, together with Igor Krenz, Wojciech Niedzielko and Łukasz Skąpski, he founded the supergroup Azorro, which existed until 2010. Since 1994, he has been performing as a performer, and since 1995 in his characteristic blue brocade jacket. In 2010, he became the protagonist of the semi-fictional book W połowie puste. Życie i twórczość Oskara Dawickiego (Half Empty: The Life and Work of Oskar Dawicki) by Łukasz Gorczyca and Łukasz Ronduda, which was adapted into a feature film in 2014, Performer, in which the artist played himself. In his work, he uses the language of irony, which is often a starting point for self-reflection. Oskar Dawicki is the patron of the Monument to Neurotics. Oskar’s Puddle by Rafał Bujnowski, unveiled in 2019 at Aleje Ujazdowskie 4 in Warsaw. In 2008, he participated in Manifesta 7.

He lives and works in Warsaw.

Hubert Zemler

Drummer, composer, music producer, improviser, performer, educator, and author of soundtracks for film, animation, and theatre. He graduated from the Fryderyk Chopin Academy of Music (now the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music) in Warsaw, where he studied percussion from 1999 to 2004.

He collaborates with artists across genres, including Piotr Kurek, Jon Gibson, John Tilbury, Todd Barton, Ben Frost, Agustí Fernández, Wacław Zimpel, Agata Zubel, and bands such as Mitch & Mitch, Magneto, and Zemiter, to name but a few. Alongside Oskar Dawicki, Piotr Adamski, and Mikołaj Małek, he co-founded the performative music group PROSZEK.

Over the years, Zemler has steadily expanded the scope of his artistic practice, seeking out opportunities to disrupt or reframe established realities. His work often traverses subtle stylistic boundaries while remaining rooted in organic expression and a strong emotional presence.
