The book published by the Arton Foundation and the Wrocław Contemporary Museum is the first monograph on Barbara Kozłowska (1940–2008), a Wrocław artist, painter, and precursor of performance art in Poland.

The study contains a detailed timeline of Kozłowska's life and work, prepared by Marika Kuźmicz and Zbigniew Makarewicz, essays by Marika Kuźmicz, Piotr Lisowski, Karolina Majewska-Güde and Wiktoria Szczupacka, and a selection of texts by Barbara Kozłowska.

The publication discusses and problematizes the artist's work, placing it in the context of the Wrocław avant-garde of the 1960s and 1970s and in the context of the phenomenon of global conceptualism. As Piotr Lisowski wrote in his text: "At the end of the 1960s, a 'melting pot of concepts, views and attitudes' was created in Wrocław, which shaped a strong neo-avant-garde artistic environment. Jerzy Ludwiński, a critic who described and co-created this environment, indicated the emergence of conceptual art as a factor that united this group. Although he himself defined conceptualism very broadly, describing it as a 'convention-free zone' that encompasses everything 'whatever can be thought and conveyed'. In this melting pot of concepts, a special role was played by Barbara Kozłowska, an artist working at the interface and border of various creative forms and attitudes."
