Skąpski on Machines
2010/05/14

In 1982, in the village of Zasań near Myślenice, I witnessed an attempt to start up a machine for ploughing up potatoes. The machine was homemade by a farmer from an SHL motorcycle. It looked ridiculous: handlebars at the back from the motorbike; no back wheel, in place of which was a ploughshare; the motor had been moved to the front, on a metal paddle wheel apparently taken from some kind of agricultural machinery. I stared in disbelief at the farmer’s struggle. I couldn’t begin to imagine that this construction would work. Since in rural Poland I had already seen a variety of handmade machines, I thought to myself that it would be worth documenting.

On Goes the Marathon of Meetings!
2010/05/13

Yesterday we had the chance to meet and talk about some of the most important texts in photography theory, and today we present a book by Allan Sekula. We will also have a chance to stop and wonder: When did photography become an art? The evening will bring another Photomonth concert, this time with Basia Bulat.

Become a Citizen of Culture!
2010/05/11

 

Citizens of Culture is an informal volunteer civic movement to increase spending on culture to at least 1% of the state budget, and to change the principles of cultural management and financing.
This movement has come about as a response to the current state of cultural funding, which puts Poland at the tail end of the countries of Europe.

We've Survived the British Invasion!
2010/05/10

With the weekend's openings behind us, we've survived a real British invasion: the few dozen special guests we invited were unable to hide their astonishment at how popular photography is in Krakow. We had to stuff people into some of the galleries, there was no sitting room in the meetings with the artists, and the curator tours drew people aged five to one hundred. Even the weather turned out - after another rainy day, the sun beamed on the Starmach Gallery opening.

British Sunday

It’s the last day of the weekend’s openings. Most of the exhibitions are already open, but they’re always worth revisiting – especially since it could be in the company of Mark Power or Anna Fox.
