ARTISTS at RISK (AR)
-
New institution at the intersection of human rights and the arts. AR is dedicated to mapping the field of persecuted visual art practitioners, facilitating their safe passage from their countries of origin, hosting them at “AR-Safe Haven Residencies” and curating related projects. Artists, writers, curators, critics and scholars are targets of politically motivated threats and persecution in great parts of the world. Perpetuum Mobile (PM) initiated Artists at Risk (AR) to provide a platform and network to support these art practitioners in a time of need. This encompasses facilitating a safe exit from countries of origin; assistance in the procurement of travel documents; providing legal assistance; and matching ARs with so-called AR-Safe Havens and residencies in the AR network. AR liaises with several cities and networks which provide “artists at risk” a safe place to live and work for a period of time.

Jan Moszumanski-Kotwica
- b. 1990, Kraków, Poland) works with film, sculpture and sound. He was studying fine arts at academies in Krakow, Oslo and Malmö. His work is concerned with emotional landscape of ideological systems influencing his life, and the relativity of value of material and immaterial labour. He is occupied with the economy of sublime and its expression in monuments, as well as the invention of commodified experience of fear through Horror fiction, that took place parallely to the Industrial Revolution, in other words affinity between the mist and the smog. In his multisensory Sturm-und-Drunk new not-so-romantic black noise show Death Wind he is challenging the pathos of romantic image of affective relation between human and weather (nature).In November and December 2016 he worked as an assistant to Bouchra Khalili's project commissioned by documenta 14 in Athens. Currently he is working on a video dedicated to problem of recursion in contemporary mechanisms of shaping identity VR Porn Must Be Third Person View or the Fun Is Gone: a Bubblecore Essay, as well as on the project for Ghetto Biennale, Port-au-Prince, dedicated to research on a model of spirituality that would work well within the framework of New Materialism. Occasionally under alias Jan Moss.
