Summary/Abstract: Cricoteka – Tadeusz Kantor’s “Living Archive”. The paper is a presentation of a unique cultural institution, an artistic establishment built around the creative activities of the Polish visual artist and theatre director Tadeusz Kantor (1915-1990): Cricoteka – Center for the Documentation of the Art of Tadeusz Kantor from Krakow, Poland. Founded in 1980 at the initiative of Tadeusz Kantor himself, Cricoteka offers, as we will try to show, a viable institutional model for preserving Kantor’s works (writings, sketches, video recordings, objects etc.), as well as for promoting his artistic ideas through workshops, exhibits, conferences and other events.
