Jerzy Ludwiński niejednokrotnie uzupełniał swoje eseje i wykłady
prostymi rysunkami-diagramami, które w sugestywny sposób obrazowały
koncepty ujęcia wybranych zjawisk w sztuce. Jakby mimochodem doprowadził
w ten sposób do skrystalizowania formuły diagramu jako
wizualno-pojęciowego komunikatu, towarzyszącego dociekaniom związanym ze
sztuką. Sądzimy, że tę formułę warto obecnie docenić, poddać namysłowi i
kontynuować – niezależnie od tego, czy będziemy diagramy traktować jako
fakty artystyczne, czy wizualne fakty innego rodzaju.
Do wystawy Diagram zaprosiliśmy ponad 40 osób aktywnie zajmujących się
sztuką, by  przedstawiły wypowiedzi nawiązujące do formuły diagramu. Do
ich decyzji pozostawione zostało, czy będzie to zapis wykonany przy
okazji pracy nad jakimś zagadnieniem, czy też rodzaj komunikatu
autonomicznego.
Wystawa Diagram pomyślana jest jako rodzaj przypomnienia twórczości
Jerzego Ludwińskiego w 10 rocznicę Jego śmierci, a jednocześnie
przyjrzenie się różnym postaciom twórczej aktywności, w których diagram
jest punktem odniesienia. Nieoczywisty status diagramu kieruje uwagę
poza to, czym on jest.

Kuratorzy: Fredo Ojda, Grzegorz Borkowski

*****
Jerzy Ludwiński often illustrated his essays and lectures with
drawing-diagrams that suggestively present the concepts of certain art
phenomena. In doing so, he contributed to the diagram becoming a regular
visual-conceptual message that accompanies art related investigations.
We feel it is time this formula received its due, be subjected to
consideration and continuation, irrespective of whether one treats
diagrams as artistic facts or visual effects of another kind.
For the Diagram exhibition, we invited nearly 40 individuals actively
involved in art to present their thoughts on the diagram formula. It was
their decision whether to present pieces from another work or concoct a
kind of autonomous message.
The Diagram exhibition is meant to increase remembrance of Jerzy
Ludwiński’s work on the 10th anniversary of his death, while taking a
closer look at various forms of creative activity in which the diagram
is a point of reference. The diagram’s unobvious status directs
attention outside of itself.

Czy katastrofa smoleńska stworzyła szansę na wykreowanie nowej – heretyckiej – formy polskości stojącej pod znakiem „twórczej zbrodni”? W jaki sposób ironiczny duch neoromantyzmu próbuje przeciwstawić się archontom politycznej i estetycznej Stosowności? Czy późno-nowoczesny artysta skazany został na dożywocie konwencjonalnej gry z neoawangardą? Kto dzisiaj czeka na Dialektycznego Mesjasza, który wyzwoli wyobrażenia społeczne z otchłani Decorum? Co zrobić ze zrewoltowanymi fantazmatami? Wytępić te wszystkie bestie? To tylko niektóre z pytań pojawiających się w zbiorze esejów oraz dialogów filozoficznych Tomasz Kozaka…

We are pleased to announce the screening of videos “Obsession” (2008) and
“Naked Freedom” (2010) by Marina Grzinic and Aina Smid and the
presentation of the book “Public Preparation. Contemporary Nationalism and
Critical Art Practices” (2010) by editor Rael Artel. The event is
organized by Rael Artel and starts with a commented video screening by
Marina Grzinic, following discussion will open up the wider spectrum of
topics negotiated both in the artworks as well as the newly published
project-book.
The event is supported by the Ministry of Culture of Slovenia. Marina
Grzinic and Rael Artel wish to thank the very welcoming staff of Wiels
Contemporary Art Centre.

Shortly about video “Naked Freedom”
The video “Naked Freedom” that connects Ljubljana, Belgrade, Durham/USA
presents a conceptual political space of engagement that allows for
rethinking what local community is and functions. It conceptualizes the
possibility of social change under the conditions of financial capitalism
and its financialization processes that permeate art, the social,
political and critical discourse. The collective process of making the
video “Naked Freedom” is about enactment of social, political , and
performative practices. It is a collective performance for the screen that
resonate with performers off screen lives. In Ljubljana seven young
activists, musicians, poets and your workers discuss capitalism,
colonialism, education, and the power of art as a possibility for
politics.

Shortly about the “Public Preparation” book
“Public Preparation. Contemporary Nationalism and Critical Art Practices”
is a selective documentation of the “Public Preparation” project that
consisted of seminars, talks, screenings, and workshops and took place in
collaboration with different art institutions and cultural producers
during a two-year period from 2008–2010. Besides transcripts of chosen
presentations, a selection of commissioned essays based on given speeches,
and several talks, it is also to a large extent a rather unconventional
art book. One of the main aims of the publication is to pay extra
attention to discussing recent artistic production, as often in discursive
discussions, the particular artworks tend to be forgotten. The circle of
contributors comes mainly to former Eastern Europe and mostly consists of
art professionals. The book produces the contextual framework for the
international exhibition “Let’s Talk About Nationalism! Between Ideology
and Identity”, which opened in February 2010 at Kumu Art Museum, Tallinn.

Contributions from Rael Artel, Charles Esche, Eva Fotiadi, Marina Grzinic,
Flo Kasearu & Tanel Rannala, Karolis Klimka, Vida Knezevic & Ivana
Marjanovic, Martin Krenn, Tanya Muravskaya, Alexei Penzin, Joanna
Rajkowska, Katarzyna Ruchel-Stockmans, Marko Stamenkovic & Tomas
Tomilinas, Mihaela Varzari, and Tamara Zlobina.

The works by artists like Yael Bartana, Wojtek Doroszuk, Maria Eichhhorn,
Kaspars Goba, Jens Haaning, Tomek Kozak, Boris Mikhailov, Tanya
Muravskaya, Kristina Norman, Marjetica Potrc, Joanna Rajkowska, Gerhard
Richter, Wilhelm Sasnal, Luc Tuymans are discussed among others.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
The idea of the exhibition Easy Riders refers to metaphorical and real nomadicity. The show marks the end of a year of lokal_30’s activity in London in Wadeson Street, East End. It has been a year of significant experiences, meetings and events, which will undoubtedly influence the future of lokal_30.

Throughout this time, we organised 12 group and individual exhibitions. At the opening show of our gallery in London, Sketches for a Project, we presented works by Ming Wong, Nick Oberthaler and Alexandra Croitoru, Constatin Luser, among others. The exhibition Streets and Other Interiors featured works by Anna Baumgart or Anna Jaros, which contested contemporary life, traumas and taboo of city dwellers, merging the history of Łódź, Cracow, London and Warsaw. lokal_30 in London also hosted an excellent exhibition Attention: Light! by Józef Robakowski, at which the artist presented his installation from the 1970s from the series “Test” and the video “Attention: Light!” produced in cooperation with a renowned American structuralist Paul Sharits as well as Wiesław Michalak. Individual exhibitions by Karolina Zdunek and Jan Mioduszewski, Maciej Kurak & Max Skorwider and Małgorzata Szymkiewicz saw their coverage in British art press. Lokal_30 has gained a reputation in London for being a venue specialised in the highest quality video art. It came as a result of outstanding exhibitions by Tomasz Kozak, Wojtek Doroszuk, Anna Baumgart & Agnieszka Kurant and Elodie Pong, completed by the presentation of the 2^nd edition of the project Zuzanna Janin Invites featuring videos of artists particularly valued by the curators of lokal_30 - Kamen Stoyanov, Regina Jose Galindo and Anna Molska, among others.

In one of its interpretative layers, the current exhibition, terminating a year of lokal_30’s presence in London, is a herald and a commentary on the venue’s activity – nomadic, unconventional character of our little art centre seems to be of a particular significance to the authors of the show. Following the exhibition Easy Riders at lokal_30, there are other, yet unspecified journeys forthcoming, be it to Brussels, New York or maybe Berlin. The nomadic project of curators and artists of lokal_30 remains open.

The project by Romana Schmalisch is a performance in the form of a lecture-screening. The “Mobile Cinema” is a portable apparatus in use during experimental lectures. In essence, it is a reconstruction of a prop from Alexander Medvedkin’s film “Novaya Moskva” (1938) – a projection table by means of which the protagonist presents his designs and urban visions upon his visit to Moscow. It is a bizarre device which evokes an urban model, a cinema and a photo camera. Like the engineer in the film, Romana Schmalisch makes plans for journeys to various places and for “Mobile Cinema” presentations of her films, urban visions and archival material developed in the course of her research. Subsequent parts of the presentation depict changes in the urban space and resulting social transformations. The “Mobile Cinema” has already been shown in Paris, Rome, Warsaw, Vilnius and Moscow, among others.

In the 1990s Alicja Żebrowska was dealing with the issues of gender, androgyny, bodily taboos and forbidden sexuality, at once repulsive and fascinating. In her latest works, the artist focuses on the way how an individual functions in a capitalist economic system. The exhibition at lokal_30 features her work „Regression” (1997-2002), which is an image of a hypnotic journey of a man into the depths of his very self. It is an attempt at reaching the space of inner identity of a man (the artist), who thus aims to touch the unknown, invisible, impossible and tries to bring it to the surface. Experimenting on herself, she uses hypnosis as a means of creating art and depicting a journey that exists in the mind – a journey consisting of scraps of memories and images registered in the brain cells.

Olga Lewicka presents works from the “Showdown” series. These are monochromatic white and austere “written paintings”. The artist selected texts from philosophical treaties, postulates of Situationists, artistic manifestos, but also quotations from gossip magazines or just single words. Juxtaposed canvasses form a fascinating monologue of inconsistent statements. Yet another time the artist refers in her somewhat ironic work to the issue of a work of art and artistic oeuvre. The title of the series is the name of the final part of a poker round, where players lay their cards on the table. The artist’s intention was thus to denounce the role of text accompanying works of art as an element that does not in the least serve their clarification. The viewer should therefore venture further in the search of the essence of art.

Filip Berendt, author of the project “Visit”, enters unfamiliar houses when their inhabitants are not there, rummages through their belongings, ferrets around, rearranges, ruins the established order. Yet his aim does not consist in imposing any philosophy or world view whatsoever. Not having met the inhabitants of a given house, Berendt reconstructs their facial composite “recorded” in found objects, arrangement of space and proxemics. Berendt’s compositions are portraits that never feature the protagonist – the portrayed person. In turn, they are filled with everyday-use equipment, which is trivial but reveals so much about ourselves. Apart from that of a reporter, the artist also assigned himself yet another task – to create a new reality by means of found objects, to redefine for his own needs that what earlier functioned in a coherent system built by the owner. Every object had its own place and function, even a typical mess had its own logic. The artist appears in such space – like deus ex machina – and introduces his own order; objects suddenly change their use, tamed space acquires a new character; a dressing table becomes a little altar (with the gods of this apartment being probably cleanliness and minimalism), an old discoloured chromolithographic print gains a new life owing to a chewing gum lifting and an immense library becomes an area under threat, access to which is restricted by police caution tape.

Stefan Constantinescu is a Romanian artist living in Sweden for more than a dozen years, who returns to his homeland in his artistic oeuvre. In his works – paintings, artistic books and films – the artist ironically and nostalgically evokes his childhood spent in the “paradise” built by the dictator Nicolae Caucescu. At lokal_30 in London he presents his video work “Troleibuzul 92”, which was featured in the Romanian Pavilion at the 2009 Venice Biennial. Constantinescu’s film presents a scene like many others that happen right in front of our eyes – during a journey on a means of public transport one of the passengers is talking on the phone loudly and indiscreetly. Upon another connection with his female interlocutor, witnesses (and viewers of the film, just like the passengers of the bus) begin to feel deeply concerned, since what they are watching is a scene of rape and aggression inflicted through words: the man publicly (the camera shows him among other passengers, including an elderly woman beside him) threatens and intimidates the anonymous female interlocutor with untamed verbal violence. Language, which usually serves as a communication tool, here becomes a means of oppression, and the telephone appears as an artifact of degeneration or maybe even crime.

ANNA BAUMGART

Swieże wisnie / Fresh Cherries

screening at Kino Muranow

05.10.2010 at 8.30 p.m.

Panel dyskusyjny zorganizowany przez Fundacja Lokal Sztuki / lokal_30 po projekcji filmu

„Świeże Wiśnie” Anny Baumgart

kino Muranów, Warszawa, 5 października 2010, godz. 20.30.

W panelu weźmie udział: Kuba Mikurda, Katarzyna Bojarska, Joanna Ostrowska, Agnieszka Rayzacher.

ENG
In her video Fresh Cherries Anna Baumgart touches upon several significant issues in the context of working through of the traumatic past, and critical reflection on the contemporary “distribution of the sensible” within art and academia. The artist unveils the fact that being a woman in the war is not neutral, which grows from her ongoing meditation on the meaning of gender roles. Fresh Cherries is not a reconstruction or re-enactment although it plays with the convention in a very intelligent way. It is not a documentary either although one can feel lead in that direction. We enter the world of several female characters and manifold plots skilfully combined in a powerful narrative. We witness Klara, a young actress, undergoing Heilinger’s therapy, and see her in the roles of a Polish woman raped by Russian soldiers and a German woman forced to prostitution in Auschwitz. Another female protagonist, Joanna, is a young female scholar working on a ground-breaking (and shame-breaking) doctoral project on prostitution in former concentration camps, finally there is the artist herself not only stripping the shame and guilt bare but bluntly making the viewer face the question, she has been struggling with: why do I have to deal with all that? There is a man too, Marcin Kosza ka, a cinematographer and a controversial documentary film maker, here pursuing the project of making “a film about Auschwitz.” And there is one more man, present though absent, Lars von Trier, especially as the author of Dogville. Baumgart shifts times and characters to construe a well-weighed argument that there is no adequate nor unmediated access to repressed and traumatic histories, that they had been repressed for a reason and that transparency is always an illusion which needs to be questioned by the artist. And there is one more question so painfully raised: why does the female body remain a battlefield even in times of peace?

PL
W wideo Świeże wiśnie Anna Baumgart dotyka kilku istotnych kwestii w kontekście przepracowywania traumatycznej przeszłości oraz krytycznej refleksji nad współczesnym “podziałem zmysłowości” tak w przestrzeni sztuki, jak nauki. Artystka obnaża fakt, że bycie kobietą na wojnie nie jest neutralne, co można potraktować jako kontynuację jej dotychczasowych rozważań nad znaczeniem ról płciowych. Świeże wiśnie to nie rekonstrukcja czy re-enactment, choć Baumgart gra z konwencją w niezwykle przemyślny sposób. To nie dokument, choć początkowo można pójść w tym kierunku. Wkraczamy w świat kilku postaci kobiecych i rozmaitych wątków inteligentnie splecionych w sugestywną narrację. Stajemy się świadkami ustawienia Helingerowskiego młodej aktorki Klary; widzimy ją jak wchodzi w role Polki zgwałconej przez radzieckich żołnierzy i Niemki zmuszonej do prostytucji w Auschwitz, i jak z nich wychodzi. Poznajemy Joannę, młodą badaczkę zmagającą się z przełomowym dla naszej wiedzy – a w łaściwie niewiedzy – historycznej, projektem dotyczącym prostytucji w obozach koncentracyjnych. I wreszcie jest tu sama artystka, nie tylko obnażająca powikłane wstyd i winę, ale mocno stawiająca sprawę: dlaczego ja się tym muszę zajmować? Jest też mężczyzna, Marcin Koszałka, operator i dokumentalista, tu w roli reżysera „filmu o Auschiwitz”. I jeszcze, obecny choć nieobecny, Lars von Trier szczególnie jako autor Dogville. Baumgart podmienia czasy i postaci, by skonstruować misternie utkaną opowieść dotyczącą tego, że nie ma żadnego właściwego czy niezapośredniczonego dostępu do wypartych i traumatycznych historii, że zostały wyparte z jakiegoś powodu i że przeźroczystość zawsze pozostaje złudzeniem, a rolą artysty jest nieustannie ją kwestionować. I jeszcze to pytanie, trafiające w sedno: dlaczego ciało kobiety pozostaje polem bitwy nawet w czasach pokoju?

Wystawa pt. ‘Metasztuka, Metahistoria, Metasurvival’ jest drugą częścią projektu pt. ‘Producenci kontekstów w obliczu przemian’, realizowanego w roku 2010 przez fundację TNS. Tytuł projektu nawiązuje bezpośrednio do książki Leszka Brogowskiego, teoretyka i wykładowcy sztuki, zatytułowanej: ‘Sztuka w obliczu przemian’ (wyd. 1990) analizującej przeobrażenia w rozumieniu i postrzeganiu sztuki na przestrzeni wieków. W dobie postmodernizmu kluczowa stała się umiejętność stwarzania odpowiedniego kontekstu i ramy interpretacyjnej dla podejmowanych działań. Strategie artystyczne są m.in. grą z rzeczywistością społeczną oraz z uwarunkowaniami kulturowymi i ekonomicznymi a sami artyści stają się niejako producentami kontekstów starającymi się szybko update-ować swoje poszukiwania. Punktem wyjścia w konstruowaniu projektu był namysł nad fenomenem konceptualizmu i jego dalekosiężnym wpływem na charakter szeregu współczesnych praktyk artystycznych. Wiele z nich sięga swymi korzeniami do dokonań awangardy XX wieku. Celem wystawy jest ukazanie współczesnej działalności artystycznej jako swoistego, pełnego wzajemnych odniesień, ‘mentalnego survivalu’, który prowadzony jest w sieci związków, uwarunkowań i kontekstów.

Pierwszą część projektu zrealizowano w lipcu w galerii Spiż 7. Nosiła ona tytuł: ‘Nieskończoność - w czynie społecznym’. Część druga - ‘Metasztuka, Metahistoria, Metasurvival’ - realizowana jest zarówno w galerii Spiż 7 jak i na dwóch poziomach dawnego domu towarowego z czasów PRL-u, co wprowadza nowy kontekst dla odczytania znaczeń projektu. Punktem odniesienia dla wybranych na wystawę prac stają się przekształcenia, procesy i rozmaite - ogólne lub lokalne - ‘naznaczenia’ historyczne. Ilustrujący wystawę diagram* jest elementem służącym wypracowaniu pewnego modelu interpretacyjnego czemu towarzyszy świadomość, że wystawa mogłaby być wzbogacona o szereg bardzo ważnych prac. Jednak nieco ’survivalowy’ charakter wystawy i zdarzenia określił w istotnym stopniu także wybór prac artystów. Istotne jest wskazanie na ich związki, wzajemne relacje i zapładniający potencjał wyzwalany “w obliczu przemian”.
*Usytułowanie nazwisk autorów i ich prac na diagramie należy traktować jedynie jako sugestie ich odczytania w całym spektrum bogactwa ich znaczeń.

On Thursday September 9, there will be a conference at the Falstad Center (Ekne, Norway) about contemporary art and “The Painful Heritage”. The conference language is English, all interested persons are welcome to attend.
The term “the painful heritage” is often used about the mass of individual experience in the  German camps during World War II. The term may also be extended to include experiences in other war and conflict situations. It is difficult, for many even impossible, to talk about traumatic war experiences, severe humiliations and abuse connected with taboo and shame. This conference will deal with how artists have approached the painful heritage during the last 20-25 years.

Speakers at the conference: James E. Young (USA), Katarzyna Bojarska (Poland), Nikola Suica (Serbia), plus the two artists who have made artworks for this year’s Falstad Kunst: Anna Baumgart (Poland) and Darko Stojkov (Serbia).
The films “Fresh Cherries” by Anna Baumgart and “Second Journey” by Darko Stojkov will be shown in the exhibition space at the Falstad Center all day from 9 am.
The conference will start at 10 am and will be finished at 4.30 pm. Registration from 9.30 am.
