Action–Substitute. Alternative tour of the "Practice of occupation of the work" exhibition

Wrocław Contemporary Museum and TIFF Festival 2018 invite to the alternative tour of the Practice of occupation of the work led by Maciej Bujko – program director of the TIFF Festival.

The exhibition takes place in an unspecified, yet seemingly distant future. The museum space unsealed after years of shutdown reveals a suddenly aborted investigation by a team of researchers. In the third decade of the 21st century they conducted an enquiry seeking to determine the true authorship of the works in the collection of the Wrocław Contemporary Museum. Artistic objects taken out from the Museum’s storage have become the subject of scrutiny attempting to determine their authorship and the contribution of hitherto unrecognized creators. Who was the originator? Who participated in the creation and co-created selected works of art? What elements of the individual and collective achievements of mankind have been appropriated by artists?
