Thick indiscretion.

matter is not the freshest news, but nobody wrote about it, so someone must.
In January this year at the CCA in Torun, ended the exhibition "The apogee. A new expression of 1987." Reactions for the exhibition was rather poor in terms of quantity and quality. However responses were interesting.

's first blog Raster . It was not, however, review of the exhibition, only a review of its curator, Christopher Stanislavski: an exhibition that he did not like it should. Instead of dolls, Zbigniew Libera ("You can shave the baby") should have to show the film "How to Train Little Girl" by Libera, because the film was made in the 80s not a doll. The curator did not inform it about the use of Libera's work and not invited to the opening, which is thick tactless. And everything is perhaps Paul should Łubowski.

second response appeared in the pages of the December arteonu. Let me quote the entire passage concerning the "apogee"






















author admits that the accumulated body of work on display was impressive, but the dissonance is that are also works that were created before and after expression of the 80s It's actually all that the author has to say about it. Next is already opening. That gupi because: Dowgiallo spoke about the creation of a new direction, but it is an fake, that punk concert Staniszewski boring and that a group of thick Worst boring, and the spectacle of the Cinema Theatre in general off-topic. In the same article admiration of the exhibition, "Punk's Not Dead" in Lublin.

legitimacy of all these criticisms is the core of our alert, but if you're at it, it is worth recalling text of Raster Dwarf. The core of our alert, however, are two issues: first

"Apogee is a good show. More specifically, a good educational show. She showed transawangardę 80s the most interesting works from that period. At the same time it was not the exhibition of "compartmentalization," or "displaying works from the direction of the years from to ". This dissonance, ie the use of work outside the drawer, he created the value of the exhibition. can be traced as unfolded fate of the" new expression, "what were the consequences in our culture, in art (which is a great example of a doll Libera). You can it was unexpected to find clues. Tarasewicz example, in the image "Untitled", 2006 Statement from the California mon amour "Dowgiałły gave an interesting effect. According to us, so they should, look like an exhibition illustrating the history of art. They should show the source of attitudes and trends and their echo show contexts relevant to us today.

We do not know whether he took a doll curator of Liberty because I do not want to pay Rastrowi. Even if that were the case, we are not interested because he did a good show. As spectators and inhabitants of Torun we have deep in the ass, and Libera received an invitation or not. This is a problem curator, not ours, even if it was a mistake. The fact is that none of the writers of the "climax" has not written anything about the show.

second Apogee is not only a good show. This was the first in the Torun Centre for Contemporary Art exhibition for normal people. By "normal people" we mean someone who has better things to do than read Artforum, and Circulation to know Now what you like to be cool. It is also someone who would like to take advantage of the fact that in his city is the largest exhibition of contemporary art institution in Poland and would like to see something interesting there, which would have a chance to understand and which would enable him to learn about contemporary art.

What happens if after two years of such an exhibition in Torun finally occur? He is totally crushed to the ground without a word about what is the content of the exhibition. Because the opening was too salty. Interestingly, a rather dull "Melancholia opposition" by wunderteamu survive until Arteonie a review, which repeated what was written in the booklet accompanying the exhibition, but the words of the author (ie, positive reviews in the key of "oh, oh")

Why is it that important and interesting exhibition is concealed or panned for no reason ? Unfortunately, we do not know, but I suspect this is some form of continuation of boycott Lubowski. And maybe in the "environment" exhibition for normal people is considered unworthy of interest, because it's "easy"? Therefore we do not know, because we are not the "environment". However, we believe that it is much thicker faux pas than a lack of calls for Libera.
