Professor Perzynski earned his M.F.A. at the Academy of Fine Arts at Poznan Poland in 1979 and taught there from 1980-83. He taught in the Department of Art at the University of California, Santa Barbara before coming to Austin in 1987. Perzynski's work and main teaching focus is on the question of art's interdisciplinary character including the philosophies of communicative action, social pragmatism, and individual invention. In the early 1980's, he published several interviews, among which were with the poet and veteran of Fluxus Emmett Williams, and the installation artist, John Blake. Perzynski's own work was presented in Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, and the United States. Over the last fifteen years, he has produced numerous works of art that include computer technology, video, sound, and architectural settings. He has been the recipient of several research grants and fellowships.
