{"uid":"ehg1U5fkjMJ7SGbW","type":"curator","tags":[],"group":"yes","group_name":null,"project_title":"NET \u2013 Art of Dialogue and Dissent","summary":"The exhibition presenting the NET project that was one of the most important initiatives of the 1970s avant-garde, bringing together artists from various parts of the world. The idea for NET was formulated in 1971 by Polish artist Jaros\u0142aw Koz\u0142owski  encouraged artistic collaboration and a free exchange of artistic facts. A network of contacts developed between artists, independent of institutional structures and above political barriers, driven by a wave of art\u2019s conceptualisation, fascination with mail art, and the popularity of subversive attitudes. The idea of free circulation, dialogue, and decentralisation offered an artistic alternative to the political and ideological isolation of Polish culture. \nDespite the geopolitical divisions between East and West, the NET spread through exchange between artists based in Eastern and Western Europe, Asia, North and South America. The anarchistic idea posed a challenge to both Eastern Europe\u2019s political status quo and the West\u2019s art market with its commercial mechanisms. \nThe NET meant total de-hierarchisation, its structure automatically erased the distinction between centre and peripheries. The NET, with its dispersed-action strategy, was subversive to all centres. The NET list shows the importance of  mutual contacts between artists from Eastern Europe and Latin America, living in ideological and political confinement, leftwing on one side, rightwing on the other.\nThe NET list includes more than 400 names.","space":"The exhibition includes painting, sculpture, drawing, collage, photography, object, printed matter, assembling and handmade publication, archival material. You need space with walls around 50 meters long to show the selection of the pieces from the NET archive.
