Nowe zjawiska w sztuce polskiej po 2000 roku

Edited by Grzegorz Borkowski, Adam Mazur, Monika Branicka

Without succumbing to the magic of numbers, one nonetheless has to admit that the image of Polish contemporary art after 2000 is so different from that of the 90s that it demands a new diagnosis, a kind of inventory, and a guide through the new territories. Besides the already established artists, who have successfully continued their practices, numerous new, intriguing phenomena have emerged.

Initiated by Jarosław Suchan, a few-month project At the Very Centre of Attention, realised in the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art, from the very beginning included the concept of the publication, which in the form of the lexicon of the personalities of the Polish art scene (complemented with the thematic essays) would capture the newest and the most interesting phenomena in Polish visual art of the recent years.

The formula of the book including a register - or rather a dictionary - of artistic strategies, in the most practical and least biased manner, fills the gap on the market of publications devoted to Polish contemporary art. At the same time, it respects an exquisite diversity and polymorphous character of this field.

The book presents 71 artistic strategies and includes essays from 38 authors presenting various perspectives and styles of writing on art. It is not only for professionals but also for the growing audience interested in the visual culture in its diverse manifestations.
