The retrospective, which takes place in Berlin, intends to update the artistic practices of recent history. While this updating process accentuates the interesting phenomena and urgent problems that the artists have engaged with, it simultaneously examines the shifts and changes in the cultural landscape of Poland and abroad. Particular focus is placed on positions that address the history and politics of memory and representation, transformation and imminent transition. Featured artists (selection): Tymek Borowski, Karolina Bregula, Rafal Jakubowicz, Robert Kusmirowski, Anna Molska, Karol Radziszewski, Janek Simon. 228 Seiten mit 80 Abb., gebunden (Hatje Cantz 2016) leicht berieben/slightly rubbed
