centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle



"Establishment (and its discontents)" is a group exhibition of artists participating in making of contemporary art. The project refers to a wave of "new" and "young art" exhibitions, which took place on the Polish art scene at the beginning of the 21st century. The subject of our "Establishment" exhibition are artistic proposals and individualities, which emerged out of these past shows – namely art, that appeared after "new art from Poland". Participants of the "Establishment" did not take part in those past presentations. They are artists, who made their presence on the art scene in the last two or three years. A context for our presentation is a concept of establishment – understood as a challenge for young artists, as a point of reference, a collection of temptations and an object of contest. Finally, it is a potential source of discontent.
