lokal_30_warszawa_london
In September 2009, lokal_30_warszawa_london_project inaugurated its new art space in London, situated in the very heart of East End, with the aim of bringing to this scene the most interesting art manifestations from Central Europe and other regions. The programme of lokal_30_warszawa_london will present not only the most recent work of both emerging and established artists from Poland, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Romania, the Czech Republic, the former Yugoslavia, Austria, Switzerland, Singapore and Japan, but also Central European historical artistic background, including art from the 1960s and 1970s. This temporary project is linked to the lokal_30 gallery based in Warsaw, which has become an active site of artistic exchange. The London gallery, set in a disused industrial building, is the first Polish art space active at the same time both in Warsaw and London. Promoting Polish contemporary art in an international context, it will especially focus on developing new modes of artistic collaboration and exchange in new united Europe. During the a year of our presence in the U.K. we shall also propose to Londoners public participation in exhibitions, performatives, discussions and other events prepared by a group of artists, curators and art historians.
