Marta Kubiak

Marta Kubiak (born 1985, Wrocław) serves as a Tutor at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław within the Faculty of Graphics and Media Art's Printmaking Department. Since 2020, she has led the Serigraphy Studio where she teaches screen printing and photopolymer techniques, following her 2017 PhD completion and 2009 graduation from the same institution.

Education:

• 2009: MA in Printmaking, Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design, Wrocław
• 2017: PhD

Research Focus: Kubiak's artistic practice centers on transforming mundane everyday elements into profound personal commentaries through experimental printmaking. Her work critically examines overlooked aspects of reality using screen printing and photopolymer techniques, bridging traditional craftsmanship with contemporary conceptual art. This approach creates layered narratives about ordinary existence while pushing technical boundaries in graphic media.

Artistic Output Trends: Her publications and exhibitions reveal consistent exploration of everyday life through printmaking innovations. Recent works like Para Ceramics Graphics (2019) demonstrate interdisciplinary fusion with ceramics, while earlier catalogues such as I've cut my head off (2016) establish her signature style of personal reality commentary. The trajectory shows increasing technical experimentation with photopolymer and screen printing across international contexts.

Recognition:

• Roland Gräfe Foundation Award for art and culture (2016)
• Rector's Award at 9th Polish Printmaking Triennial (2015)
• Best Curatorial Project Award at Baltic Printmaking Biennial (2015)
• Grand Prix from Cracow Mayor in Young Polish Printmaking (2012)

Academic Leadership: As head of the Serigraphy Studio, Kubiak directs technical training and conceptual development in printmaking while maintaining active international engagement. Her conference lectures at Impact 11 (2021) and Kazan Biennial (2017) disseminate Polish printmaking practices globally. Though no formal grants are documented, her curated exhibitions like Borderline Printmakers (2021) demonstrate collaborative research leadership across institutional boundaries.
