Too many
dangers, too many pleasures
Stanislaw
Ruksza (curator, art historian) and Martha
Kirszenbaum (curator) consider
stereotyped myths of Poland and communism, peripheries as stimulating
places, and European politics and the conservative shift. They
will also discuss the power of utopia, Polish critical art, history,
and curatorial strategies.
