Program duration 120 min
The radical utopian concept of ‘Open Form,’ developed by influential Polish architect Oskar Hansen, was originally developed in the international context of late-modernist debates on architecture during the 1950s and was later applied to experiments in cinema and performance by several Polish artists. Hansen employed the concept at the Fine Arts Academy of Warsaw during the 1970s. These sessions witnessed the emergence of the ‘artistic game’, a mode of practice that encouraged communication and cooperation between the artist and various participants. The document some of the games carried out in the period, while two contemporary works recover the element of communication that was typical in Hansen’s work. Artists include Paweł Althamer, Artur Zmijewski, Zofia Kulik, Przemysław Kwiek.
