<p>This exhibit presents the first acts of Polish ‘performance art’ in the late 1960s, and its development as an art movement over the 1970s. Via archival footage, film and photography of various happenings, performances and installations the highly varied work of radical artists from this period is presented as part of a bona fide movement that went against the dictates of the status quo and mainstream art establishment. Extensively annotated, the exhibit offers insight into the freedom these artists found by taking their art out of the established context of galleries, how they were able to diverge from the modernist style that prevailed at the time, and bring their art into a more social and political context.</p>
