Aleksandra Görlich

Art historian, graduate of MA studies at the Institute of Art History of the Jagiellonian University. My main area of ​​interest is Japanese woodblock print and the history of the forty-seven Ronin. In addition to presentations at scientific conferences, I also write about art in the modern, digitised world. More on this topic can be found on the Publications page.

 

LANGUAGES

 

When I began studies of art history, Prof. Jan Ostrowski said: ‘An art historian needs to speak a few languages and read in at least five foreign languages.’ I took his words to heart and I find a way to read in every language if I need to get into a text. In addition, I learn by talking while working and on the go.

TOURISM

 

I love to travel. I spent my childhood travelling throughout Poland with my family. As a teenager I began to explore Europe with friends which led me to my first job – a tour-leader.

​

As a tour-leader I was responsible for  arranging accomodation, indicating trip routes and guiding groups.

 

As an art curator , I also arranged business trips and artworks transport (domestic and international), including insurance matters. Now, I make trips for my own pleasure, such as the Japanese map exhibition in Leiden (Netherlands) or the MeasureCamp ‘unconference’ in London, or to the Italian course in Cefalù. Not to mention holiday trips.

 

It’s a pleasure to travel and to show the charms of various places to others. Please find all my destinations in the Travels page.

 

 

WRITING

 

In Poland we say: ‘Speech is silver but silence is golden’, but how can we describe writing? It must be a combination of them both. I’ve been writing ever since I was able to hold a pen. When I was five, I found that I wanted to be a book writer and I did everything to become an author. And so I do write and publish. I love to play with text structure and various styles, adapting them to the required function, although the greatest demand is always for popular and scientific articles.

 

See in Publications what these texts are and where you can find them.
