Anka Ptaszkowska, born in 1935 in Warsaw, living between Poland and Paris, is a major figure of the Polish and French art scenes.

Critic, gallery owner, exhibition organizer... her work as an art intermediary is complex to grasp, all the more so since, since her beginnings, she has refused to accept any form of professionalism, due to the political ethos that drives her. In 1966, she co-founded the famous avant-garde gallery Foksal in Warsaw and became a close collaborator and friend of artists such as Tadeusz Kantor (1915-1990), Edward Krasin'ski (1925-2004), Eustachy Kossakowski (1925-2001), Maria Ewa Lunkiewicz-Rogoyska, known as Mewa (1895-1967), Krzysztof Niemczyk (1938-1994), and Henryk Stazewski In the early 1970s, she moved to Paris, made friends with Daniel Buren and the critic Michel Claura, created a new network of artists, co-founded the Galerie 1-36 and the alternative space Vitrine pour l'Art Actuel, and initiated large-scale projects such as Échange entre artistes: une expérience muséographique; 1931-1982, Pologne/USA.

The exhibition takes as its structure a script, in thirty sections, written by Anka Ptaszkowska for a film. This text, with its literary dimension, inspired the selection of works, prints and photographs documenting what she describes as "adventures" and suggesting certain critical insights into her journey. A sound installation, with oral archives and unpublished recordings, gives a sense of the vivacity of this exceptional figure, whose life has nourished the history of art and continues to inspire us.
