Symposium

The symposium focused on the city of Warsaw’s policy towards art studios. The discussion was attended by representatives of grassroots self-organised exhibition spaces operating in premises intended for art studios i.e. the Przyszła Niedoszła gallery and Pracownia Wschodnia. The discussion aimed to raise questions about the reasons why the operation of independent exhibition spaces is hindered and to find possible ways of solving the problem.

How to live and work in Warsaw? A symposium on art studios.

What is it like to rent a studio from the city? What are the conditions ? What are the problems in accessing and using the municipal art studios? The Warsaw Observatory of Culture, together with the Zachęta Society of Friends of the Fine Arts, invited you to a meeting entitled How to live and work in the city of Warsaw?.

The symposium focused on the official policy of the city of Warsaw towards artist studios. The debate was attended by representatives of grass-root self-organised exhibition spaces functioning in premises designated as art studios—the Future Unfinished gallery and Pracownia Wschodnia, as well as Michał Krasucki—the capital city conservationist—the initiator of Warsaw’s historic art studios and representatives of the mayor of Praga Północ district and ZGN Praga Północ district.

The event was chaired by Hanna Wróblewska—president of the Zachęta Society of Friends of the Fine Arts.

The aim of the debate was to consider the causes of the difficulties in the functioning of independent exhibition spaces and to propose some possible ways of solving this problem.
