Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw Something Flashed, Something Broke, Something Re – Consciousness Neue Bieriemiennost
Consciousness Neue Bieremiennost was an art group formed in the mid-1980s in Poland by three sculptors: Miroslaw Balka, Miroslaw Filonik, and Marek Kijewski. Their collaborative exhibitions, which included action art, performances, and sculptures, mounted political protests by mocking highlights of the communist calendar, such as Women's Day, Victory Day, and Miner's Day. This volume recreates the history of the group and its often fleeting creations and sets it in the context of Polish life and politics of the 1980s and the artistic scene it spawned. Offering new insight into Polish art of the '80s, and particularly into the relationship between the communist art system and the alternative art scene that opposed it, the book offers the most comprehensive picture yet of this group's work and legacy.

Kerber Verlag Paweł Althamer: Lovis-Corinth-Preis 2022
The internationally active sculptor and performance artist Paweł Althamer (*1967) often works on projects in planned or chance collaborations that attempt to break open socially charged structures. He examines his self-portrait again and again in a spiritual way, free from any concrete religious viewpoints. Althamer broadens the conventional concept of art with unusual techniques, materials, and approaches. Social initiatives significantly determine his artistic program. The publication is produced on the occasion of the exhibition to mark Paweł Althamer being awarded the 2022 Lovis Corinth Prize and is dedicated to his projects so far as well as to new works. Text in English and German.
