Krzysztof Gutfrański (*1982) is a curator, editor, and artist/researcher. His contextual research practice pivots on issues of alternative education, theory of value, and non-functional thinking in the era of technological change. His recent research for Documenta Institute explored techniques of co-option of contemporary art by the far-right in CEE.

For the year 2021 he was awarded the "Weltoffenes Berlin", a fellowship offered by the Senate Department for Culture and Europe with Slavs & Tatars as a host. For 2019-2020 he was a fellow at Akademie Schloss Solitude, where he curated a one month festival for the 30-anniversary of the institution. In the past he participated in numerous research residencies and curatorial endeavors funded by such institutions as Getty, Creative Europe, Fundação Nacional de Artes, Fundação Clóvis Salgado, Polish Institute. This include, amongst others Biella (Fondazione Pistoletto); NYC (Residency Unlimited); Rio de Janeiro (CIMAM); Belo Horizonte (JA.CA); Antofagasta (now SACO Biennial); New Delhi (Khoj).

Krzysztof’s practice also involves extensive work in editorial-research focused on exploring media in the era of information overload. Among others he was editor in chief of ALTERNATIVA - International Contemporary Visual Arts Festival / Wyspa Institute of Arts in Gdańsk (2010-2015). Recently he was editor-in-chief of Obieg magazine published by CCA Ujazdowski, Warsaw (2016-2020).
