Polski Kosmos offers a look at the work of Polish artists having lived in The Netherlands for several years, as well as Dutch artists working with Polish themes. For the individual exhibitions, Dom Polski in Amsterdam provided both the space and helped with the organization. The intention was not only to show quality work but to integrate cultural circles, bringing together people who under normal circumstances might not have the opportunity to meet. And both objectives have been realized. Amsterdam’s free and tolerant atmosphere was a fine location for the exhibitions which were visited by large numbers, among them local Poles, new Dutch friends and visitors from Lithuania, America, Israel and Russia. The openings were time after time graced with performances that became an introduction to the exhibitions and beautiful concerts with local musicians which included excellent Polish performers. Polski Kosmos has definitely been a success!	NYC International Perspectives photography currated by Andrei Martynov & Jennifer Drucker Museum of History of Photography ul.

... When the wedding guests and the weekend tourists are gone, merciful silence closes in again on the fields and gardens of Salos. The silence is enchanting, as is the melancholy of the derelict agricultural implements scattered about the fields, or the crumbling wooden cottages.

Die Kunst kann uns aus der Gebundenheit des Alltags herausheben und Wunschbilder, Tagträume, Sehnsüchte und Utopien in Bildern einfangen, welche dann als Artefakte einer möglichen oder unmöglichen Gegenwart unsere Gedanken und Gefühle beeinflussen.
Das Ausstellungsprojekt “The Great Escape“ macht sich die konstruktive und manipulative Macht der Fotografie zu nutze, um in einem kollaborativen Prozess der Bilderfindung die Formen der Sichtbarkeit auszuweiten und abzuheben von dem, was sonst als logisch, linear und realistisch angesehen wird.
24 KünstlerInnen aus 9 Ländern nahmen an diesem gemeinschaftlichen Arbeitsprozess, der im Netz in einem dafür eingerichteten “Virtual Studio“ nach festgelegten Spielregeln ablief, teil.
“Escape“ bedeutete für alle Teilnehmenden in dieser speziellen Arbeitssituation auch das Überschreiten der eigenen Grenzen:
das Aufgeben der Autorenschaft als bewußter Schritt gegen den Individualismuszwang im Kunstsystem; neue Erfahrungen sammeln in Bezug auf die persönliche Arbeitsweise und nicht zuletzt die Herausforderung, neue Interpretationen der eigenen Bilder zu zulassen.
Zu Beginn stellte jede(r) der Teilnehmenden eigene Fotos ins “Virtual Studio“, welche dann wieder und wieder von allen bearbeitet wurden, wobei jede(r) KünstlerIn unter einem “nickname“, also inkognito arbeitete.
So sind im Zeitraum von vier Monaten mehr als 300 gemeinsam erarbeitete Fotos zum Thema “The Great Escape“ entstanden.

Kuratorinnen: Brigitte Konyen, Ilse Chlan

Zur Ausstellung erscheint ein Katalog in deutscher und englischer Sprache

Art can lift us out of the limitations of everyday life, capturing ideals, daydreams, longings, and utopias in images that then, as the artifacts of a possible or impossible present, influence our thoughts and feelings.
The exhibition project “The Great Escape“ harnesses the constructive and manipulative power of photography in a collaborative process of visual invention that seeks to expand the forms of visibility and depart from what is otherwise regarded as logical, linear, and realistic. Twenty-four artists from nine countries participated in this communal operation, which took place in accordance with fixed rules in a “virtual studio“ set up on the Internet.
“Escape“ also meant that the participants in this special creative situation would transcend their own boundaries, forsaking individual authorship as a deliberate step against the compulsive individualism in the art system, gaining new experience with respect to their own personal way of working, and, not least important, learning to live with new interpretations of their own pictures.
Initially, each participant contributed his or her own photographs to the “virtual studio“. All participants then repeatedly manipulated each others pictures, working incognito under assigned nicknames.
Over four months, this process has led to more than three hundred collaboratively created photographs around the theme of “The Great Escape“.
