Their patience and efforts lie at the core of this publication Baptiste Joly, Irmeli Kokko and Maria Tuerlings. Our encounter with Friedrich Meschede also had a considerable impact on our Ika Sienkiewicz-Nowacka and Marianna Dobkowska way of thinking about residencies, shaking us out of the furrows we had been ploughing until then – which were centred on setting up residencies for Polish artists abroad – and serving as an impulse for change, by encouraging us to invite foreign artists to Warsaw, which necessitated improved relations with the local authorities. Ultimately, it is the artists resident at A-I-R Laboratory who have borne the brunt of daily struggles as our curatorial team have striven to establish at least a temporary equilibrium in which their work could flourish. We would like to thank them for support and critical feedback, without which we would not be able to continue. We would like to express our special gratitude to Rebecca Gordon-Nesbitt for her work as managing editor, carried out with enormous tact and sensitivity, while consistently and purposefully elucidating the texts and the thoughts contained within them. In this role, she was ably supported by colleagues from 100% Proof, who checked both individual texts and the final manuscript. We owe the interesting shape of the book to Krzysztof Bielecki, who elaborated the graphic identity of the whole RE-tooling RESIDENCIES project. Funding and support for the whole project was generously provided by the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. The conference was co-organised with Res Artis and the Adam Mickiewicz Institute. We are also grateful to the former director of CCA Ujazdowski Castle, Wojciech Krukowski, as well as to our CCA colleagues for their encouragement.

  • “The Great Archipelago,” Its Eighth Project
    Kayu is pleased to present “The Great Archipelago,” its eighth project, which consists of an international group exhibition including contributions by Arahmaiani, Ashley Bickerton, Dora Budor, Marco Cassani, Rafram Chaddad + Rirkrit Tiravanija, Fendry Ekel, Michal Helfman, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Rochelle Goldberg, Filippo Sciascia, and Entang Wiharso. The exhibition is part of the first “Rebirth Forum–Sustainability Through Differences,”*a three-dayevent –29, 30, 31 October–which aim is to create a platform for public and private entities, individuals and institutions, engaged in daily practices of sustainability and coming from different fields: from energy to food, from production to intercultural dialogue, from design to agriculture, from culture to health. The exhibition is deeply inspired by the work of Michelangelo Pistoletto and reflects on the concept of the table as a domestic object and as a symbol of union. The exhibition will feature eleven tables designed by the aforementioned artists and produced in Indonesia. The tables exhibited will host one hundred guests during the aforementioned three-day event. After the conclusion of the forum all the tables will remain on view for the entire duration of the exhibition. Furthermore, the title of the exhibition refers to the title of Michelangelo Pistoletto’s artwork, Il Grande Arcipelago [The Great Archipelago], a mirror table conceived by the artist for this occasion and produced in Indonesia. The table represents the seas that touch Indonesia and it is part of the mirror table series that Pistoletto made and which looks at the sea as the ultimate cultural melting pot, a symbol of meeting between different cultures. Kayu is Lucie Fontaine’s branch in Bali and since its inception it presented solo exhibitions by Luigi Ontani, Radu Comșa, Ashley Bickerton as well as the international group shows Domesticity V, Domesticity VI, Domesticity VII, and Ritiro.

Hij hoorde met zijn bureau rond 1900 tot een van de meest gevierde architecten in Nederland. Nieuwe opvattingen in de architec- tuur maakten dat hij het daar moeilijk kreeg en, met het verstrijken der jaren, vrijwel doodgezwegen werd. Werkend vanuit Amsterdam verlegde hij zijn werkterrein deels naar Nederlands-Indië waar, in samenwerking met Marius Hulswit (1862-1921) en Arthur Fermont (1882-1967), talloze gebouwen tot stand kwamen.

  • 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”. Her work explores the relationship between the performer and audience, the limits of the body, and the possibilities of the mind.

  • 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.

  • The Urban and Cultural Climate of Rotterdam Changed Radically Between 1970 and 2000. Opinions Differ About What the Most Importa
    The urban and cultural climate of Rotterdam changed radically between 1970 and 2000. Opinions differ about what the most important changes were, and when they occurred. Imagine a Metropolis shows that it was first and foremost a new perspective on Rotterdam that stimulated the development of the city during this period. If the Rotterdam of 1970 was still a city with an identity crisis that wanted to be small rather than large and cosy rather than commercial, by 2000 Rotterdam had the image of the most metropolitan of all Dutch cities. Artists and other cultural practitioners – a group these days termed the ‘creative class’ – were the first to advance this metropolitan vision, thereby paving the way for the New Rotterdam that would begin to take concrete shape at the end of the 1980s. Imagine a Metropolis goes on to show that this New Rotterdam is returning to its nineteenth-century identity and the developments of the inter-war years and the period of post-war reconstruction. For Nina and Maria IMAGINE A METROPOLIS ROTTERDAM’S CREATIVE CLASS, 1970-2000 PATRICIA VAN ULZEN 010 Publishers, Rotterdam 2007 This publication was produced in association with Stichting Kunstpublicaties Rotterdam.

  • 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.
