Bogdan Szyber is a Swedish multidisciplinary performance artist born on October 20 in Zabrze, Poland.[1] Some of the different genres of artistry he has been involved in include playwriting, stage directing,[2] dance, theater,[3] opera,[4] and film.[5] He has collaborated on many of these different artistic productions with Carina Reich. Together, they form the artist duo Reich + Szyber.[6][5]
He has studied for a doctorate degree at Stockholm University of the Arts,[7] and as of 2025, he is still active in various performing arts projects.[8]
Fauxthentication – Art, Academia and Authorship (or the site-specifics of the Academic Artist)
[edit]
Szyber earned his doctoral degree in 2020 from Stockholm University of the Arts with the artistic thesis: Fauxthentication – Art, Academia and Authorship (or the site-specifics of the Academic Artist).[8]
The thesis critiques the shortcomings of an increasingly standardized higher education industry and its links to academic fraud[8]. It was the first thesis in Sweden within the field of artistic research to be failed, sparking and continuing to generate extensive debate about artistic research and the role of academia.[9][10]
This caused the thesis to gain notoriety in the media and further fueled the debate on artistic research. As several news outlets picked up on the events, the thesis itself became the subject of both articles and documentaries.[11][12][13]
In 2024, it was featured as a theme in the stage play Fool's Errand – an Alchemical Sonata, directed and performed by Bogdan Szyber. The thesis's conclusions and themes were used to illustrate the experience of working within—and being a part of—the world of academia.[14]
