Aleksandra Mañczak (born 1948) is an artist and teacher.
From 1969 to 1974 she attended the Strzeminski Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Lodz, Poland. In 1974 she became an assistant at the Fiber-Art Studio and in 1983 she became the head of the same Fiber-Art Studio.
In 1990 she became an assistant professor
In 1995 she became a full professor (Professor of Art).
From 1993 to 1996 she was the Deputy Rector for Science and Promotion at the Academy.
Artistic Activity:
photography, (since 2001 digital images), fiber-art, soft sculpture, paper-art assemblage, installation (including open-air), and writing about visual art, fiber-art and installation.

location: Lodz, Poland
The year 1972 was also the time when Stefan Popławski’s (a graduate of Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań) piece was created. His simple Self-portrait is a very important interpretation, made in tapestry (162 x 90 cm), of a photograph from a family album. The artist frequently used famous documentary and historical pictures, as well as stills from the movies made by distinguished directors, and press photos. He transformed these selected “films of reality” into cycles: a series of photography reconstructions, movie “pictures,” old performances (Polish banners) and contemporary events. these works got the impact force of a monumentalized poster. In 1973, Magdalena Abakanowicz (at that time, a tutor in the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań) copied in tapestry a first-page newspaper photograph, presenting the president of Poland, Edward Gierek, as he visited the “vegetable valley” in central Poland. In 1975, Anna Bednarczuk “translated into tapestry” the pioneer photographs by Eadweard Muybridge (from 1872) – it was the first record of the sequence of movements of a galloping horse. After the “Tapestry of Poznań” exhibition in 1979, a new term, introduced by Irena Huml, was coined: ‘foto-medium art.’
Photography practices in tapestry work quickly ceased to be a domain of just one group, although it was still Poznań that had the most prominent artists, and new faces kept flooding in, to mention such names as Andrzej Banachowicz, Alicja Biegaj, Małgorzata Hubert, Anna Nowak-Jóźwiak, Dorota Wróbel. In Cracow, Małgorzata Buczek and Wojciech Jaskółka successfully employed photo strategies, whereas in Zakopane, Marta Gąsienica-Szostak produced a series of relief self-portraits fractured into modules. In Łódź, Aleksandra Mańczak worked with landscape photography and its reflection on tapestry.

Abstract Mixed Media Painting. Oil on Silver Lame Screen Fabric
By Izhar Patkin
Located in Surfside, FL
Internationally celebrated, Israel-born artist Izhar Patkin has lived in the United States since 1977, first coming to prominence in the mid-1980s with his iconic Black Paintings, an inventive visual adaptation of Jean Genet's play The Blacks: A Clown Show. As a painter and sculptor, Patkin works in a narrative form, often drawing upon historical and cultural material to make complex visual metaphors. He imaginatively uses materials to achieve novel effects. For an exhibition in 1994 at Holly Solomon Gallery in New York City Patkin included six paintings depicting man’s expulsion from the primal garden. In his works on paper exploring the history of the Mendelssohn family, a Jewish family in Berlin around 1769 well-known for their cultural and artistic contributions, Patkin developed a trademark technique of stenciling, cutting, weaving, folding, and bending the paper.
Patkin's major mid-career museum survey "The Wandering Veil," was shown at MASS MoCA in North Adams, the Tel Aviv Museum, and The Open Museum in Tefen, Ireland. His work has been included in exhibitions at Centre Pompidou, The Stedelijk Museum, MoMA PS1, Kustverein Stuttgart, among others. His work was also featured in the 1990 Venice Biennale and the 1987 Whitney Biennial.
