PTV: Performance TV – Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art

Is television dead – or are we living in a post-TV era? Can everyone have their own channel? PTV: Performance TV is an experimental performative programme in the form of a television studio. The starting point is the impact of the medium and its idiom on current artistic practices.

We have invited contemporary artists who employ formats such as soap opera, talk shows, documentary and video clips – and also those who proclaim the death of television and are out to prove that it is the Internet that has taken over TV’s former function in society. The project draws on the democratic nature of the latter medium, based on the idea that everybody can create their own TV today.
