The Krasnals - a group of anonymous artists; Whielki the Dwarf is the pseudonym of one of its members. The group was formed on April 1, 2008, and declares: "As provocateurs of culture, we prove the hypocrisy, hypocrisy, mechanisms of power prevailing in it. We criticize the reduction of art to political propaganda, the creation of the spectacle of art and the stripping of its authenticity. We demand the right to freedom of art [...]." Its regular venue is Facebook and the blog http://the-krasnals.blogspot.com/. In addition, The Krasnals organize provocations, actions and interventions in various places and contexts, not only artistic ones. They are sometimes invited to exhibitions of current art, sometimes facing censorship. "Perhaps our works are in some collections. Perhaps all over the world." (Quotes after The Krasnal catalog. Whielki Krasnal. I felt the spasms of your esophagus, Wroclaw City Gallery 2016, p. 26)
