biography

Żywia Leszkowicz-Baczyńska (born 5.04.1961 in Zielona Góra). She graduated in sociology from the Faculty of Social Sciences of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. There she received a doctorate in sociology. Until 2013 she worked as an assistant professor at the Institute of Sociology at the University of Zielona Góra. She founded the INCYDENT Gallery in 2018, of which she is a curator. She took up full-time studies at the Institute of Visual Arts at the University of Zielona Góra in the field of Artistic Education, painting module, in Prof. St. R. Kortyka's studio in 2014 . At the same time she was educated in the studio of printmaking under the direction of Prof. Piotr Szurek. She obtained a bachelor's degree in painting and graphics in 2018. 

The notion of form refers to graphics (80x100 cm), which were treated as parts of the structure describing this form. Hence the title "Structure of a short distance". The form, as a structure of a distant distance, consists of nuances, which can only be seen if one takes a different (closer) perspective of cognition. Then the form as a certain construct disappears from the field of view in favour of elements whose structure is qualitatively different than the form treated as an integral whole.
