Kuba Bąkowski – (Polska)/ 1. POTĘGA 2. STUDIUM GODŁA Z KORONĄ/1. teren Krajowej Szkoły Sądownictwa i Prokuratury w Lublinie 2. witryna Księgarni EZOP /
Kuba Bąkowski ur. w 1971 roku w Poznaniu. Autor instalacji, fotografii, performansów, wideo, obiektów i rzeźb. W 2001 r. ukończył Wydział Komunikacji Multimedialnej Akademii Sztuk Pięknych w Poznaniu. Mieszka i pracuje w Warszawie. Twórczość Bąkowskiego określić można jako badanie obszaru rzeczywistej i potencjalnej świadomości zbiorowej, współczesnych fantazmatów, lęków i wyobrażeń, w świecie, którego odbiór zdominował przekaz medialny. Jego realizacje pełne są przy tym ironii i humoru.
