  • The End of History Or the Beginning of the Future? Video Art Comments on a Paradigm Shift
    Austrian Cultural Forum New York 1989: The End of History or the Beginning of the Future? Video Art Comments on a Paradigm Shift. WALL TEXTS MARINA ABRAMOVIC (*1946 in Belgrade, Serbia, lives and works in New York City, USA) In her film “Count on Us: Only Chorus” Abramovic conducts a children’s choir singing a “hymn” to the UN in Serbo-Croatian as a symbol of understanding among nations. It was in former Yugoslavia in particular that hopes for a better and new world of brotherhood were brutally destroyed by the specter of nationalism, racism and war. The work can also be understood to unveil the cynicism of the post communist language surrounding the end of history. Marina is a performance artist who began her career in the early 1970s. Active for over three decades, she has recently begun to describe herself as the “grandmother of performance art”. Her work explores the relationship between the performer and audience, the limits of the body, and the possibilities of the mind. Marina was a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade from 1965-70. She completed her post-graduate studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb, Croatia in 1971. From 1973-1975 she taught at the Academy of Fine Arts at Novi Sad, while implementing her first solo performances. She is a performance artist who began her career in the early 1970s. Active for over three decades, she has recently begun to describe herself as the “grandmother of performance art”.

  • Friends, 2020 Catalog
    FRIENDS, 2020 KATARZYNA KOZYRA FOUNDATION SUPPORT PROGRAM the present times are challenging for everybody. Even more so for women. The spread of the coronavirus and the worldwide economic crisis will make our work more difficult still. But we don’t give up. We will continue to fight in defence of the freedom of thought and gender equality. The Katarzyna Kozyra Foundation, as you know, has been created to support the work of female artists. Its many initiatives included, for example, a series of exhibitions of Women Commentators – a project which gave voice to young Russian and Ukrainian artists who live in countries where freedom of expression is not always allowed. One of the most recent investigations that the Foundation carried out, Little Chance to Advance, has revealed the huge underrepresentation of female teachers in Polish Art Academies. The Foundation is also currently working on numerous projects, which include an exhibition of Urszula Broll, a recently deceased artist who unfortunately did not live to see sufficient recognition for the important work of her life, as well as an archive of statements and works by female artists from the Visegrad Group. The recent cuts in the financing of NGO’s providing social and cultural support for women, make the raison d’ être of the Katarzyna Kozyra Foundation even more justified. It is why I ask you to join the group of the Foundation’s Friends and support us with a financial contribution so as to help the Foundation implement its program in support for women artists, consisting of research projects, exhibitions, book publications, seminars… I do not ask you for this commitment in exchange for nothing.

  • Communist’ Ghosts
    ARTISTIC RUPTURES AND THEIR ‘COMMUNIST’ GHOSTS On the post-communist condition as threshold experience in art from and in Eastern Europe Magda Schmukalla PhD in Psychosocial Studies 2017 Birkbeck, University of London 1 To my parents 2 I hereby declare that this thesis is entirely my own work and contributions from other persons are fully cited and referenced. 3 ABSTRACT This thesis theorizes and explores the post-communist condition as a threshold experience. While scholars in the social sciences and humanities have often criticized the notion of post-communism for reproducing discursively the East/West divide, this study argues that it is precisely from within the post-communist threshold that the current hegemonic role of the West can be effectively challenged. I begin by showing how the post-communist condition captures an intense experience of being undone and how, with the abrupt breakdown of a communist order and a gradual return to a capitalist structure, the main pillars of modern subjectivities in Eastern European countries have been fundamentally disturbed. As a consequence ‘post-communist sites’ have turned into places or relations in which ghostly relics of past experiences suddenly crop up with no ideological structure being strong enough to control their haunting. The ghosts returning in this state of collective uncertainty do, however, not only disturb today’s Eastern European site but also, I argue, make the Western subject feel haunted by its ‘post-communist Eastern European other’. My aim is further to explore this particular threshold experience on its own terms. In this study the entry point to its transitory realm is therefore neither theory, nor quantitative or qualitative data but the elusive, contradictory, and often very personal realm of contemporary art.

  • Joanna Rajkowska Greetings from Jerusalem Avenue the Charles De
    Joanna Rajkowska Greetings from Jerusalem Avenue The Charles de Gaulle Roundabout in Warsaw, opening of the project: 12.12.2002, planned until 12.12.2003, continued until today. Production: CCA Ujazdowski Castle; Collaboration: Institute for Promotion of Art Foundation, Pracownia Konstrukcji, and the authorities of the capital city of Warsaw phot. Mariusz Michalski The most renowned installation in the public space of Warsaw takes the form of an artificial palm tree 15 meters in height. The project, originally anticipating an entire row of trees, has its origins in the artist’s 2001 journey to Israel. Rajkowska wanted to convey a view natural for the streets of Israel to a War- saw street, whose name is identified with the country. The intentions of this were to remind about the Jewish community that once represented a significant portion of Warsaw’s residents as well as to give a concrete context to the name Jerusalem Avenue, which has been considered unclear in meaning. It was also a kind of experiment, examining whether Polish society is ready to accept an element so alien to the Polish landscape. The palm tree aroused long-term controversy, which not only involved the fact that it was situated in one of the city’s busiest intersections, but also its maintenance costs, as well as its difficult legal and political issues. The work was repeatedly used in a variety of actions, demonstra- tions, and protests regarding current events and socially important problems. At the present time, it no longer evokes such strong emotions; the work has become a recognizable object and a popular symbol of Warsaw, to which the residents have become accustomed.
