Under The Skin: New Video From Poland

February 15 2008

The Declassified series presented a program of recent videos curated by Kamil Malinowski, including work by Yael Bartana, Bogna Burska, Krzysztof Franaszek, Anna-Maria Karczmarska, Anna Konik, Tomasz Kozak, Katarzyna Kozyra, Anna Molska, Krystyna Piotrowska, Aleksandra Polisiewicz, Karol Radziszewski, Piotr Wysocki and Artur Żmijewski. All of the works selected had been created within the past three years and have not yet been screened in New York City.

Malinowski introduced the screening and, in a post-screening discussion, elaborated upon three related themes addressed in the works: the continued negotiation of problems emerging from Polish history (including Polish-Jewish relations, World War II, and the Holocaust); education and its ambiguous correlation with patriotism/nationalism; and imaginary or fictional history with significant emphasis on gender as a defining category.

Kamil Malinowski is an emerging curator based in Warsaw, Poland. Malinowski attended the University of Warsaw and has worked as co-curator in the Supermarket of Art Foundation on the exhibitions “(Im)mortal love - VI Biennale of Young Artists” (2007) and “Welcome to the Media” (2006). Malinowski is a contributor to Sekcja art magazine and president of the recently established 93 Foundation.

Devoted to presenting recent video works from around the world, Declassified reflects the immediacy of the form by offering a venue for challenging new works. Screenings occurs the third Friday of each month.
