Scoring Session

The main highlight of the THIRD MIND. Jiří Kovanda and the (Im)Possibility of Collaboration exhibition’s closing was the lecture and dance performance given under the guidance of the outstanding French curator, Pierre Bal-Blanc. Pierre is also one of the team of curators involved in realizing the documenta 14 in 2017. Pierre Bal-Blanc is an independent curator, former director of Contemporary Art Center (CAC) Brétigny, France, and organizer of the “Phalanstère Project” (since 2003), a series of site-specific proposals that aim at a critical rethinking of the logic behind accumulation of art works. “Soleil politique” in 2014 (Museion, Bolzano, Italy) examines the role of the museum in the urban environment by looking back at its history and mission from the perspective of artists in all disciplines: architects, filmmakers, performers, musicians, composers, etc.

Scoring Session
Postmortem photography – the past tradition of depicting corpses of deceased people immediately before their funeral, has left behind thousands of incomprehensible, obscure and deeply intimate pictures, easy to find in today’s family archives, flea markets and on piles of discarded waste. On the occasion of Bartosz Flak´s current essay collection, he would like to present the topic of Polish postmortem photography and literary approaches towards found photographs.
