We are pleased to be hosting Marianna Dobkowska, curator at the Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw for a one month residency in Tokyo supported by The Backers Foundation.
During Dobkowska's talk she will present some of the projects she has curated and produced at Artists-In-Residence Laboratory, a residency program where she is a curator. Founded in 2003, Artists-In-Residence Laboratory is a department of the Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw, one of the major institutions of contemporary art in Poland.
A-I-R Laboratory hosts up to 30 international artists a year and focuses on production and research based practices within the context of the residency treated as an artistic medium. Since 2014 the team of A-I-R Laboratory started a new program at the socrealist interior of the former hat shop Porthos in the center of Warsaw.
Invited architects gathered portfolios of the building while designing the revitalization of its interiors. Activities programmed in the space are directed to stimulate discussions: about the heritage of socialist realism and the social responsibility of the institutions of art.They are also focused on establishing new relations with local communities.
Throughout the talk, questions and comments from the audience will be welcomed.
We look forward to your attendance at this special event.
