Action Lublin! Chapter 2

1 / 31

Akcja Lublin! Chapter 2 is another exhibition from the series presenting performance art. This year we are again reaching back to the past and the archives of Galeria Labirynt, choosing the most significant – according to us – performances and performative actions which have taken place in Lublin. At the exhibition we are presenting works by artists such as: Jerzy Bereś, Maria Pinińska-Bereś, Akademia Ruchu (Academy of Movement), Jan Świdziński, Zbigniew Warpechowski, KwieKulik, Ewa Partum, Józef Robakowski.

The other group to participate in the presentation are the students and graduates of the Studio of Spatial Activities run by Professor Mirosław Bałka and Zuza Golińska, M.A., in the Faculty of Media Art at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. In our opinion, the ‘performative turn’ which has taken place in the activities of the Studio provides an opportunity for a fresh and renewed approach of the young artists to performance. The presentation involves pieces of activities performer in front of a camera and without viewers, video performances and footage of the activities of selected students and graduates of the Studio. The confrontation between the pieces by the classics of performance and the budding artists provides an overview of the search and the transformation, which has taken place in this field of art.
