Opening of the Symposium 70/20 year

50th anniversary of the event held in Wrocław is an opportunity to see it from a different perspective – to look more closely at its legacy, get inspired by its past… and build a new one. Wrocław 70/20 Symposium is a grassroots and social initiative created by a local artistic group – diversed team of curators, critics, artists, educators, academics, animators, activists, and cultural managers. They represent various forms of activity, collaborating with museums, galleries, and cultural institutions of an established reputation, as well as recently founded NGOs or independent artistic groups.

Call for papers - Konferencja ¿ Czy badania artystyczne ?

Zagadnienie „badań” w praktyce artystycznej stanowi jeden z niezwykle ważnych kierunków rozwoju najnowszej sztuki. Artistic research, sytuujący się na przecięciu twórczości, wiedzy i nauki, jest jednym z problemów dogłębnie dyskutowanych na Zachodzie od ponad 20 lat, a od 2015 r. fiński Research Pavilion towarzyszy kolejnym edycjom Międzynarodowej Wystawy Sztuki w Wenecji. Pomimo pojawienia się pierwszych przejawów zainteresowania tym zagadnieniem ze strony polskich artystów i teoretyków sztuki w ostatniej dekadzie, wydaje się, że temat ten nie został jednak wyczerpująco zbadany ani trwale osadzony w rodzimych dyskursach akademickich.
