The issues related to the studio/apartment of Henryk Stażewski and Edward Krasiński refer to “other spaces” of art and art history in Poland after 1945, which invalidate binary oppositions private/public, interior/exterior, history/memory. The aim of this conference is to reflect upon history, but also upon the artistic and social phenomenon of the studio, to discuss the contemporary potential of this place, and to present new research perspectives related to the work of Henryk Stażewski and Edward Krasiński.
The conference languages are: Polish, English.
