Exhibiton

As a part of a Polish-Portuguese project dedicated to new forms of networking, the exhibition brings together works of visual artists, poets, and amateur users of both countries, confronting various strategies in which the elements of internet culture are now used for creative purposes. While paying legacy to a wide range of older initiatives of this kind (not excluding the 2015 p2p exhibition curated by Piotr Marecki and Alvaro Seiça), it aims at introducing the visitors to the most recent examples and, through that, provoke a reflection on the generational and technological shifts, the processes behind the emergence of the so-called vernacular digital cultures, and the new concepts in curatorship, literary theory, and artivism. 

Divided on 13 spaces spread around Poland and Portugal – as well as an interactive, digital room in Piotr Kopik’s Kliki i Obroty Gallery — the project engages over 40 artists and academics, while also putting in dialogue audiences from the two opposite sides of the continent. In this sense, it is also the initiative itself that becomes a living, susceptible network, in equal parts dependent on digital and analogue media. With many works and accompanying events picking up on the notions of hybridity, recombination, multilinearity and parasitism, it also highlights different forms in which the engagement with various technologies enhances and modifies the ways in which we connect with one another.

Below, you can find the list of the events taking place in Lisbon. For the whole programme, please check the official website of the project (www.porpol.net). Aleksandra Stokowiec
