Summary/Abstract: This article’s point of departure is the experimental character of the artistic work presented by the KwieKulik duet in the 1970s. Dauksza’s concept of a “laboratory of experience” refers to the two neo-avant-gardists’ practice of unifying the spheres of existence, art and learning. A particularly important dimension is the personal relationship between the artists Zofia Kulik and Przemysław Kwiek. KwieKulik, Dauksza argues, aimed to transgress conventions and to work out new forms of expression, commenting on the political situation and provoking actual social change.
