Mobile Archive Coordinator:
Maya Pasternak
At Wyspa Institute of Art, the Mobile Archive will be expanded by video works made by Polish artists. To make viewing much more comfortable, it will be possible to sit and watch the chosen works on site. It is presented in Gdansk as part of “The Impossible Collection.” The archive touches upon the issues of accumulation, status and distribution of artwork though the archival forms that differ from that of the collection idea.
“The Impossible Collection” is a project taking place within the framework of a larger group of events under the leading title “Translate. Beyond Culture: The Politics of Translation”, initiated and theorized by the European Institute for Progressive Cultural Policies [eipcp] www.translate.eipcp.net .
The project is aimed at reframing the collection of the Wyspa Progress Foundation through innovative curatorial practices. The team of curators consists only of international guests in order to approach the artworks from the perspective from outside and to achieve the form of display that targets beyond just a representation of artists and subjects.
The CDA's archives are operating with the support of the Ostrovsky Family Fund and Artis
