Industrial Ruins
and Other Objects

Karol Sienkiewicz

Wyspa Institute of Art in Gdańsk Shipyard keeps on redefining itself. This year’s Alternativa investigates two areas: materiality and its own archive. The outcome of the first one is much more convincing

Occupation: Photojournalist

IWO ZMYŚLONY TALKS TO BOGDAN ŁOPIEŃSKI

I couldn’t fathom that plant directors would just let artists wander around their factory floors. That could never happen in a socialist country – Bogdan Łopieński about the 1st Biennale of Spacial Forms in Elbląg in 1965

Polish Documentary Film Looking Up

Jo Harper

Andrzej Kołodyński notes that although documentary films in the early 1990s were respected and well-reviewed by the press, this did not mean that they were seen by a lot of people. How is it now, and what is the future of Polish documentary?

Photography Reclaimed

Iwona Kurz

The albums ‘Polesie’ and ‘Kronikarki’ are a successful attempt at reclaiming photography. Chomętowska and Chrząszczowa’s images make the past seem contemporary, or at least stripped of the nostalgic patina of age

Freedom Fighters in the Ghetto

Joanna Ostrowska

Panek’s film is an excellent example of the shift in our understanding of historical films, once associated with ‘heavy’ period pieces

COCTAIL ARTY:
Feasts with Devils

Paweł Soszyński

The 17th century ‘Town Chronicles of Kalisz’ recount a very interesting testimony of a certain witch named Dorota. Her account is a fascinating tale of a magical nighttime journey through the wilderness to a feast with devils

Amerykanka

Lidia Pańków

We are given a series of modern, attractive, and fun pictures. The authors of the collection have discovered a theme that allows them to present the frivolous side of the work of Zofia Chomętowska

WHO'S WHO AND WHY:
Igor Pudło a.k.a Igor Boxx

Agnieszka Le Nart

Igor Boxx is performing works off of the Breaslau album at the European Culture Congress. The DJ series at the Festival Club – Four Domes Pavilion hosts Boxx on Friday, 9 September, 2011 at 22:30

Soft Spot for Nutjobs

AGNIESZKA WÓJCIŃSKA talks to MACIEJ ZAREMBA-BIELAWSKI

I wrote this book out of frustration – ‘Hygienists. From the History of Eugenics’

THE INFOHOLIC:
Culture is a Remix

Jarosław Lipszyc

There’s no such thing as remix culture. Culture is a remix. Culture has always been a remix. The products of creativity do not exist in a vacuum

People Dealt this Fate to People

KATARZYNA ZIMMERER talks to IRENA GRUDZIŃSKA-GROSS and JAN TOMASZ GROSS

The entire history of Poland now needs to be rewritten as a multi-ethnic history – Jan Tomasz Gross, author of ‘Golden Harvest’

The Comedy of Tragedy

Aleksandra Perczyńska

When we laugh at tragedies, we alleviate the tension associated with sudden destruction, we negotiate its absurdity, we ease the emotional chaos and we tame the taboo of death
