My name is Michal Jurgielewicz and I am a creative director, designer, researcher and educator living in Berlin. I research, develop and produce visual, communication, and spatial strategies and products for art and architecture foundations, art collectives, music festivals, and commercial clients in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. My practice between design, architecture, and publishing focuses on curating comprehensive hybrid-media narratives through graphic design, books, videos, exhibitions, websites, online 3D spaces, installations, and events. I am interested in contemporary cultures, aesthetics, information infrastructures, and online trends, exploring new formats of communication and collaboration. As an educator, I work with situated peer-to-peer learning formats, game engines, storytelling, writing, and publishing to discuss ongoing trends in media-urbanism through speculative architectural scenarios.

Currently I am a designer for Hosting Lands, working on visual strategies, graphic narratives, and hybrid participation methodologies for a slow-growing, 3-year-long decentral international exhibition movement in Denmark.

I co founded You Said You Like Dancing artist collective based between Bangkok and Berlin, interested in music, event production, performance, video and contemporary aesthetics. YSYLD experiments with the ideas of rave as a platform for joy and collective worldbuilding.  


welcome to my website
School of Many Schools is a Year 4 Design Studio coordinated by Michal Jurgielewicz between 2019 and 2022 at INDA, International Program in Design and Architecture, Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand.

Drawing relationships between bits and atoms, interfaces and landscapes, and trying to understand our present - School of Many Schools focuses on peer-to-peer learning formats, building and exploring speculative scenarios through world-building, cinema, games, and publishing, imagining alternative futures.

Thank you to all my students with whom I had the privilege and pleasure to work.

PĒC / After / is a failed competition entry for the Latvian pavilion at the forthcoming Venice Biennale, developed together with @livadudareva and @animali_domestici . The proposal consisted of a fictional speculation on a possible Latvian post-humanist future in 6 chapters, rooting its plausibility around the legacy of the Green Awakening environmental movements that gained particular importance in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Each chapter was meant to set the framework for a workshop/collaboration with a selection of relevant partners from different backgrounds, specifically related to the 6 proposed topics, being architects, artists, and students, but also environmental activists, contractors, and forest managers, to speculate critically, strategically, performatively, and materially on how such a future might look and feel. The initial speculative narrative, proposed as a starting draft, would therefore be challenged, amended and expanded through the 6 workshops.

Waiting for Tomorrow's Crash is my short story about raves, public spaces, and the city in the accelerated times that I wrote in 2019. I like exploring fluid typologies, modes of organization, and new rituals in urban contexts.
