The exhibition is a part of the Copernicus Festival

A collective exhibition dedicated to experiencing time. In everyday life we assume that time flows only in one direction. You can’t turn it back, it runs mercilessly and all we can do is accept it as it flows at a steady pace, measured increasingly accurately. Subjective experience of time, however, is rather different – it flows at various speeds, we can imagine turning it around, its movement in many directions. Then there are achievements of modern science which sometimes defies time, and the ways science defines it are often much different to common knowledge.

Artists invited to the exhibition will show their interpretation of time, inspired by both common conviction and science. We will be asking about the possibility of stopping the flow of seconds, minutes and hours and what would happen if we succeed. There are moments in life, when time gets suspended – when we see a stunning landscape or when we’re happy. Another situation when we have the impression that the clock has stopped is while travelling, immobilized between the starting point and the destination. These situations, when we’re stopped in mid-time, will be the main topic of the exhibition.

11am–7pm | 18 – 25th of October | Cricoteka | ul. Nadwiślańska 2-4, level 3 | Cargo, exhibition by Marek Chlanda | tickets for 1PLN with password “Krakers”

Artist
Marek Chlanda

Curators
Marta Bryś, Magdalena Kownacka, Izabela Zawadzka

As the project members say – ‘We never know what’s going to happen’. 270 drawings entered the room (stage) of Cricoteka. For now they are grouped in 20 drawingbags, in three series which will seat on 70 chairs. Five films are looking for proper conditions to be shown. Oh, and a few sculptures got a lifting. 52 steps long and 18 across. Rather mediocre acoustics. Time flows slowly. ‘The realm of drawings is not so much what can be drawn, but what has been drawn hundreds and thousands of times’ – this is how Marek Chlanda introduces us to the event. We’ve been working here for over a month, mostly as tools to measure distance, temperature, hardness, smell and strength. The works cover several spheres: the area of ​​direct experience, the space of drawings as verbal concepts, and transmissions from the afterworld. Action thinking, intuitive locking of events, choreographic look and various other procedures are all milestones of our progress. We place capacity, buoyancy, content of actions in the place of interpretation, substance and understanding. We study mechanic and organic movement, remembering and forgetting. The exhibition room is our territory, inhabited by mocking Jesters and an existential reverie of the Afterworld, cams and right angles. We govern the space, authorizing the views of our not-really organism, not-really landscape. It’s a bit funny, but not without pressure and exploitation.

Marek Chlanda’s Cargo is a project placing itself at the meeting point of an exhibition, installation, performance and research process. It is currently lead by a team consisting of Marek Chlanda, Marta Bryś, Kaja Gliwa, Magdalena Kownacka, Izabela Zawadzka, Gaweł Kownacki i Aleksandra Idzikowska. Cargo, or a shipping service is the starting point. We all have our formatting experiences, teachers, masters, ideas and realizations which establish their artistic and life ‘me’. For Marek Chlanda it was the year 1975, when he saw Jerzy Grotowski’s Apocalypsis cum figuris and Tadeusz Kantor’s Dead Class. These experiences were key to his art and the way he understood art. He was a 20 years old student of the Faculty of Graphics of the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. Chlanda is the only member of the team so far, who has seen those spectacles live. The rest knows them through somebody else’s experience. Each of them is facing the contents of Cargo.

The exhibition room will be undergoing constant changes. Marek Chlanda and the other team members will be present in Cricoteka through the whole project. A group of coworkers will be growing. Guests from different environments and fields will be invited to join the project, and the variety of points of view will become the beginning of the publication accompanying the event.

Cargo will be open to viewers from the 9th of October 2020.

The exhibition is a part of ‘Difficult pasts – uncertain futures’, celebration of 40th anniversary of Cricoteka.

10am-7pm (with a technical break to disinfect common spaces between 1pm and 3pm) | 18–25th of October | Ethnographic Museum in Cracow | pl. Wolnica 1 | TRANSmissions – an invitation to participate in a perceptive-interpretative experiment | entrance included in the ticket to the permanent exhibition

What if we told you that art is a variety of ways to experience reality and a means for constant training the senses? In the ‘TRANSmissions’ experiment we will be faced by a work of art, a testament to extreme emotions. We will try to take the challenge of being not only a receiver, but a participant, an interpreter and the mediator of art (and the artist). The exhibition ‘Unclaimed land’ will be the realm of our activities and our sensoric sensitivity will be tested.

The experiment will be conducted by dr.Monika Nęcka.

10am–6pm | 18-25th of October |Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology | ul. M. Konopnickiej 26 | Merian, exhibition by Maria Sibilla | ticket is half price with password ‘Krakers’

10am–6pm | 18-25th of October |Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology | ul. M. Konopnickiej 26 | Galeria Europa - Daleki Wschód | Araki/Tsujimura. On the border of shadow | ticket is half price with password ‘Krakers’

It would be hard to find more individual, controversial and at the same time deeply Japaneese artists. With his bold and monumental work Nobuyoshi Araki has set the trends and shifted the borders in the world of photography. Shiro Tsujimura on the other hand, considered a revolutionist by the circles of Japanese ceramics admirers, has made his way to the reality of modern art through his unique, muted style. What both artists have in common, besides almost titanic productivity and working ‘on their own terms’ without compromise, is following ethical and aesthetic traditions of zen. This, at first glance contrasting, juxtaposition of two most outstanding Japanese artists will be the point of the exhibition presented from 12th of May to the 25th of October 2020 in the Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology.

10am–7pm | 18–25th of October | Nowohuckie Centrum Kultury| al. Jana Pawła II 232 | White Gallery CENTRUM | Jubilee exhibition of Małgorzata Jagiełło’s painting| free entrance

Małgorzata Jagiełło – a graduate of the Faculty of Graphics of the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. A diploma in the Copperplate Studio under the supervision of prof. Mieczysław Wejman. Took part in many individual and collective exhibitions. She is a member of Cracow’s Chapter of ZPAP.

She does oil and pastels paintings, drawings, photography, digital graphics and poetry. In her work she focuses on the variety of contexts in human life. Despite the charms of abstraction she mostly creates representational art.

10am–7pm | 18–25th of October | Nowohuckie Centrum Kultury| al. Jana Pawła II 232 | Black Gallery CENTRUM | An exhibition of objects and photographs by Bogna Becker, accompanied by a biographical movie | free entrance

At the beginning of all world’s cultures, besides weapons and tools, humans created a figurine – an image of deity, but also themselves. It had many functions – it was used in magic, it could be an offering and many more.

With time, this alter-ego became a portrait, a first object of art and a toy.

This is how a doll was created. A companion of a person from birth to death. Rich and poor, primitive and those with ‘sophisticated personalities’, naked and clothed according to the wealth of the owner, dolls share the fate of their owners, carry the signs of time, use and also cruelty.

Passed from generation to generation they were decorations of childrens’ beds, strollers and sweet rooms. They have become a universal symbol of a human being. For many years, besides other forms of art, I have been building ‘little worlds’ covered by glass domes. Metaphoric scenes almost like from a puppet theater. I buy or find dolls and various objects on the flea markets and antique shops, sometimes my friends give them to me in different states. When I am creating those little worlds I am an author, director and a scenographer of these spectacles. I save these ‘played out’ dolls by giving them a new life. They symbolically carry the truth about the condition of a man, the comedy and tragedy of their lives.

Bogna Becker – born in 1946 in Cracow. urodzona w 1946 r. w Krakowie. A graduate of the Secondary School of Fine Arts and the Faculty of Painting and Textile at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. She works in painting, sculpture, conservation and photography. Numerous individual exhibitions, participation in many collective exhibitions. Works in museums and private collections in Poland, France, Italy, Scandinavia, Germany, Israel, USA, Canada.

18-25th of October | Cracow’s Museum | Open collection - online activities | film

The pandemic has changed a lot in the lives of many institutions, including ours. Our plans of organizing an exhibition in Hipolits’ House for KRAKERs had to be adjusted and will take the form of a film. The exhibition space of the bourgeois house in the Hipolits’ House is a place where history meets modern times. The interiors, furnished according to the tradition supported by available archives, iconography and memoirs, allow us to dive into the past. Visitors has a feeling that the owners are still there and they’ve been invited to meet them. Unique feeling of continuity, undisturbed even by the presence of the people supervising the display and other security measures necessary in a museum, makes it possible to experiment and surprise the visitors with something unexpected. People who lived in this house surrounded themselves with art and craftsmanship, which allows us to think that if new generations of people lived here they would continue expanding this collection. They might focus on classic art or on the contrary – start a collection of modern art. The video we have prepared for this year’s KRAKERS will be an attempt at creating a virtual walk through the bourgeois house and an occasion to have a conversation about modern art (from the collection of Cracow Museum) in the context of the history of culture and customs.

18-25th of October | MOCAK Museum of Contemporary Art in Cracow| on-line activities | a competition in which the participants can win MOCAK’s publications

We invite you to participate in the competition that will soon appear on the Facebook profile of the museum. The participants can win MOCAK’s publications.

The ZALUPOWANI project – a collection under construction (edition III) from 20 October to 8 November, Stary Theatre Museum (MICET), Tues.-Sun., 11:00 am-7:00 pm, tickets PLN 12 (full) / 8 (discount)

I know I’m always repeating myself, but everything’s in the details… In the meanderings of path we grope along. The fingers get a different detail every time around… No one knows what segment of the way will give the traveler the blessing of strength. That is why the road must be walked time and again… The more imperiled I feel, the wider I have to draw my horizon.

Krystian Lupa is one of the greatest European theatre directors. He has been associated with the Stary Theatre since 1978, preparing here sixteen stagings that work as laboratories of shifting memories (his own, the actors’, and the viewers’).

Ewa Kulka (born in 1979) graduated the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow with honors in 2004. Her art is dominated by female characters, an intimate atmosphere of everyday life and symbolic carnality. The artist paints mostly with oil paint on large formats with rich colours, however she feels equally good in smaller forms painted with watercolours.

Moderation: Kamil Kuitkowski

Is an artist’s studio a place where they focus on their work and shouldn’t invite guests? Or is it rather a place where they meet with people and, occasionally, do some work? Is it hard to maintain a studio in Cracow? All these questions, and more, will be answered by Agnieszka Jankowska-Marzec, Martyna Nowicka and Anna Stankiewicz, creators of the ‘Pracownie do wglądu’ (“Inside the studios’) project, Bogusław Bachorczyk, Magdalena Lazar and Adam Rzepecki – three artists participating in the project, and Bogdan Renczyński, who will be talking about the Gallery-Studio of Tadeusz Kantor. The meeting will be moderated by Kamil Kuitkowski. ‘Pracownie do wglądu’ (‘Inside the studios’) is a web portal which, thanks to photographic documentation by Anna Stankiewicz and conversations of Agnieszka Jankowska-Marzec and Martyna Nowicka, allows everyone interested to take a look inside the studios of Cracow’s artists.

Iga Bałos. I see everything as…law, or are movies about art really about law?
on-line lecture

Art is an open concept also in the context of copyright protection. For some artists it is considered not effective as it is not protecting results of their work. On the other hand representatives of selected trends condemn the copyright monopoly for setting limits of creativity and inspiration. Legal assessment of art is not easy. Not every creator is considered an artist by law, and not every work of art is a protected creation. Tales of limitations, privileges and other consequences resulting from copyright will be based on movies about art. They will sometimes be dedicated to particular artists or even paintings. In some cases the plot is an homage to art as an important part of social life.

Topics that will be talked about during the meeting:

Did Bernardo Bertolucci use the right to quote properly and was he really allowed to create his own ‘Sardanapal’s Death’?
Did image protection and GDPR influence working on ‘The girl with a pearl’?
Do lawyers make ‘big eyes’ when they hear about Margaret Keane changing her mind in regards to the authorship of her paintings and the way they are marked?
Did Mr.Bean break the copyright law for “Whistler’s mother’? Or maybe the movie’s producer did?
Was ‘The last family’ about the Beksiński family or about law?
Is ‘Banksy in New York’ mocking copyright law?
Would Rembrandt give a like to ‘The Next Rembrandt’?

Józefina Chętko (Lou Cantor / Alfabet) & Piotrowska/Szczęśniak atelier
moderation: Romuald Demidenko

The lockdown in spring has frozen the institutions for some time, but didn’t slow the pace of work for artists – for many of them it meant even more work. The discussion we have planned between Józefina Chętko (Lou Cantor/Alfabet) and Piotrowska/Szczęśniak atelier was supposed to be about artist-run spaces which fill the void left by local artistic institutions, appearing in the gaps in the system and proposing new formats of activities. What did the pandemic change for those places and how do they answer to overlapping crises?

This event is organized during KRAKERS, which made many local initiatives emerge, i.e. CSW Wiewiórka, Elementarz dla mieszkańców miast, Potencja, Jak zapomnieć (they’ve all been presented on the ‘Entire Poland’ exhibition in BWA Wrocław 2019/2020). You can add many others to that list – Monika Drożyńska’s Embroidery school for ladies and gentlemen ‘Handymen’, the legendary Open Studio on Dietla street or Piotrowska/Szczęśniak atelier. ‘We work during the day, in postal hours, preferably between 8am and 6pm. We are not night owls, we do not fulfill the romantic vision of an artist in a nocturnal creative craze. There are exceptions, but in our case artistic work is a day job’ said the members of the duo in a conversation with Martyna Nowicka.

Many of those DIY microinstitutions appeared, or are scheduled to appear, in other cities, like in Łódź, which has its own tradition of independent art – W Y gallery, known for its exhibitions and musical and publishing activities might be a good example, as well as the Portrait Studio exhibiting young artists representing not only local, but also international contexts, or Czynna Gallery filling city’s empty spaces. ALFABET, a virus, changing and open for experiments and a tool using the semi-formal space inhabited since 1993 by the Museum of Artistic Books in the villa of an industrialist and a patron of the arts Henryk Grohmann. Here you can find one of the most unique examples of printed ephemeris from yesteryear and printing machines which will be used again. According to what its creators are saying, ALFABET ‘might have a ballroom, but its immune to vacuum (…), might be entangled in history, but is restless’. The name of this virus-collective microinstitution is related to the process of creating something from the ground up, the possibility of making a mistake and to the very beginnings of one of the most important corporations converting data into resources – Google, which called its mother company Alphabet.

The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak became an excuse to reflect on the abundance of exhibitions, projects while at the same time the fact that our contact with exhibitions and artist got limited to screens grew to be an issue. What did the pandemic change for those artists and how are they coping with these new, difficult conditions?

Józefina Chętko is an artist, curator and a lecturer of the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź and a guest lecturer of Camberwell College of Arts in London and University of California in Los Angeles. She is a member of Lou Cantor collective, called by its creators ‘a collective entity’. The main interest of the artist is studying intersubjective spaces, undermining authorship and the sovereignty of the work of art. They also contemplate the ways units interact, their incarnations, perception and areas in which, sometimes unconsciously, relation sets emerge. Lou Cantor draws from modern theory of communication in which the medium, the message and the meaning cross traditional boundaries, creating a new language. Their artistic search and research resulted in a series of theoretical publications made with Sternberg Press: ‘Turning Inward’, ‘Intersubjectivity Vol. 1’ and ‘Intersubjectivity Vol. 2’. The works of Lou Cantor were presented in the Museum of Modern Art and Leto gallery in Warsaw and also on Berlin Biennale and Baltic Triennial.

Sara Piotrowska (1989) and Maciej Szczęśniak (1989), visual artists, supposed cousins, live and work in Cracow and Warsaw. Academics with a passion for methodological guerillas, they mostly work site-specific, conducting long term case studies.They use objects, installations, performances, text and process. They cooperate since 2016, when they discovered the commonality of blood and of ideas. They were co founders of the L14 artistic group, with which they realized such projects as Myths and Harlots or There were ten of us. Sara Piotrowska graduated from the faculty of International Culture Studies of the Jagiellonian University, Maciej Szczęśniak from the faculty of Intermedia of the Academy of Fine Arts. They also both graduated from the Faculty of Media Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where they submitted their diploma as a duo. Nowadays they are making their PhDs at the Faculty of Art of the Pedagogical University in Cracow. They successfully participated in many competitions, i.e. Biennale of Young Art Fish Eye 9 (2017), The Artists organized by The National Art Gallery Zachęta in Warsaw. Their individual exhibitions were presented in many places in Poland and in other countries.

Since 2019 they own a place born from an exhibition project made for Cracow Gallery Weekend KRAKERS and in which they decided to stay for a longer time to initiate new activities. The pandemic accelerated the process of demolishing the building in which the artist-run space, used as a workspace and a laboratory, was located. As a result in 2020 they have become just a method to implement in any place and context., Chorus OS 2.0.

The meeting will be moderated by Romuald Demidenko

Lecture will be available online.

Elsa von Freitag, forgotten by the history of art German precursor of the artistic avant garde, was one of the most colorful figures of the boheme in New York in the second decade of the XXth century. Her shows, performed in magnificent costumes on the streets of New York, can be considered as the first performances of happenings, in which Elsa treated her body as a living work of art. The “Lady Dada’ exhibition presents artists who in their work more or less directly reference the baronessa’s art.
