Making New Worlds Instead of Forgetting About It
The title of the exhibition is borrowed from a featured work by Wojciech B膮kowski, a highly subjective and unique piece of art. The metaphor in this poetic phrase, along with a certain literalness, aptly captures the possibilities of art, especially video art. Additionally, these words resonate interestingly with the current moment at the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art, which is gathering strength and energy for a new opening.
The International Collection of Contemporary Art, the foundations for which were laid in the early 1990s under the leadership of Director Wojciech Krukowski, largely stems from the institution鈥檚 programme of temporary exhibitions. It serves as a kind of archive of the Centre鈥檚 ongoing activities over the past thirty years. This is a key factor that defines the unique interdisciplinary nature of the collections gathered at Ujazdowski Castle.
In the exhibition Making New Worlds Instead of Forgetting About It, we present over 30 works from 1973 to 2018, constituting the core of our video art collection. The vast majority of these are videos, but there are also computer-generated works and traditional reel films.
