The exhibition Codex Postpartum is part of the Prototypes project to test the concept included in the title on the material from the collections of the Art Museum in Łodź. As part of it, invited artists use the works from the museum’s resources to try to model our contemporary reality. Thanks to their activities, the museum’s collection turns into a pool of practices and methods awaiting updating, reusing or launching them. In Codex Subpartum, the artists use the sound to search for words in Wacław Szpakowski's great-handwriting, memories in the graphics of Mona Vatamanu and Florin Tudor, computational algorithms in Suzanne Treister’s diagrams, or distorting vision elixirs in the works of Bob Cobbing.
