Alicja Wysocka
-
How do we build a sense of community, and can we imagine it beyond dominant economic and social models? On 13 May, we invite you to a meeting with Alicja Wysocka — an interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores collaboration, experiments with forms of togetherness, and tests alternative ways of organising social relations.
- In her work, the artist creates performative and participatory situations, often taking the form of shared experiences with a therapeutic dimension. She works with video installation.
- Alicja Wysocka comes from Silesia. She graduated from the Städelschule in Frankfurt and the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań. Her work has been presented, among others, at Modem in Debrecen, Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt, Kunstverein Wiesen, the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, and the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art, as well as at the Venice Architecture Biennale and the Milan Triennale.
- She has taken part in numerous residencies, including IASPIS in Stockholm, MMCA in Seoul, PARADISE AIR in Tokyo, Jan van Eyck Academie, Cittadellarte — Fondazione Pistoletto, Akademie Schloss Solitude, and Jatiwangi art Factory in Indonesia.

{Live}
-
- Every week, we meet live with artists to talk about art: creative processes, works, and current experiences.
- We host both artists who have previously taken part in Ujazdowski Castle’s programme and those making their debut. In this series, we would like to focus on individual approaches and artistic practices.
- Every week, we meet live with artists to talk about art: creative processes, works, and current experiences.
- Why take part?
- The events will be recorded for archival purposes, and the recordings will be made available online through the Mediateka.
- In times of tensions and crises, thinking and talking together about contemporary art – which responds to today’s challenges in unconventional ways – helps strengthen social resilience. Art is not only the object – just as important are the process, the thinking, the emotions, and the relationships that accompany it. The meetings offer a closer look at how art is created and, most importantly, who creates it.
- The events will be recorded for archival purposes, and the recordings will be made available online through the Mediateka.
- The meetings are open to everyone, from people working professionally in culture and art, to those who are curious about artists and their work, or simply want to talk about art.
- We do our best to make the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art accessible to everyone – we would like to adapt the event to you and your needs. To help us do that, please contact our accessibility coordinator: dostepnosc@u-jazdowski.pl, no later than the Monday before the event.
