And what if … Institution: alternative scenario
Mednarodna delavnica
Galerija Labirynt, Lublin, Poljska
5–7. oktober 2012
Delavnica je del projekta Giant Step.
Kustosinji: Anna Smolak, Magdalena Ujma
Kustosinja iz Galerije Labirynt: Magdalena Linkowska
Na delavnici bodo sodelujoči umetniki, kustosi, kritiki, raziskovalci prevpraševali možnost ”idealne institucije” in tako poskušali soočiti pojme povezane z institucionalno kritiko z različnimi praksami in odnosom do kulturnih institucij. Razmišljali bodo, ali model institucije nasprotuje ideji kreativnega dela, ali je notranji konflikt neizogibno inherenten umetniškim institucijam in kako se konstruktivno spopadati s to problematiko.
Delavnica And what if … Institution: alternative scenario je del raziskovalnega projekta Giant Step, ki je platforma s katero evropske institucije – Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven), Mostyn Gallery (Wales), Vessel (Bari) in Galeria Labirynt (Lublin) – skupaj in individualno analizirajo različne politične, ekonomske in kulturne značilnosti tako umetniške produkcije znotraj institucij kot potenciale umetniške kritike kot orodja za spremembo.
Sodelujoči: Karolina Breguła – umetnica (Varšava), Zuzana Bodnarova – kustosinja (Štokovec), Milovan Farronato – kustos, Via Farrini (Milan), Marianna Hovhannisyan – kustos (Yerevan), Magdalena Linkowska – kustos (Lublin), Milan Mikuláštík – umetnik, kustos (Praga), Saša Nabergoj – kustosinja, kritičarka (Ljubljana), Anna Ostoya – umetnica (New York), Francesco Scasciamacchia – kustos, raziskovalec (London), Anna Smolak – kustos (Krakov), Waldemar Tatarczuk – umetnik, direktor Galerije Labirynt (Lublin), Magdalena Ujma – kustos (Krakov)

Workshop around an ideal institution is an attempt at confronting notions related to institutional critique with individual practices and attitudes towards institution of culture. We will ponder whether the institutional model contradicts the idea of creative work, whether permanent conflict is inherent in the institution of art, and how to cope with it and use it constructively.
Aware of the determinants of the functioning of contemporary institutions (influence of cultural policy, hierarchies and strategies of government, economic constraints, information policy as well as the historical and geographical context), we want to give free rein to imagination and treat the gallery as an institution with a potential to assume various forms, depending on the wishes, aspirations, knowledge and needs of those participating in our session.
At the same time, the project is carried out in relation to a specific venue, and we believe in the power of genius loci and its effect on the processes taking place inside.
We are interested in various models of work and collaboration, in creating bonds and broadening the knowledge collectively as well as in acquiring self-awareness through contact, dialogue and creative confrontation.
Our goal is to create an artistic “think-tank”, a generator of ideas that would combine visionary imagination and practical experience and, consequently, infuse Galeria Labirynt with new energy. Depending on the effects of the workshop, we envisage a publication or exhibition inspired by the results of our work.
The And what if… Institution: alternative scenario workshop is part of the Giant Step research platform within which four European institutions – Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven), Mostyn Gallery (Wales), Vessel (Bari) and Galeria Labirynt in Lublin – analyse, individually and in dialogue, various political, economic and cultural determinants of artistic production within institutions as well as the potential of art critique as a tool for change
