Art saves the world I
COLLEGIUM POLONICUM SŁUBICE
28.02.-02.03. 2014
Performance „L’artista santo“, Fried Rosenstock, 2014
Nowa Amerika with its capital Słubfurt – what is that? It all began with an artistic idea that became an expansive work of art along the German-Polish border. An autonomous work of art, one that follows its own laws. Reality construction is its leitmotif. We witness the birth of a region that is gradually gaining a foothold in the living world. With its own parliament, university, media library and art collection, which we want to present. Not only art, but a different way of dealing with it and a new kind of art education are important to us.
Can art save the world? We want to think and talk about this with you.
