Syndicate: Polish contacts

[Jonathan Crabb <picoi@picoi.demon.co.uk> (by way of Andreas Broeckmann)]

Dear Andreas

I promised to send you details of some possible contacts in Poland that
maybe worth following up to see if they would be interested in involvement
with V2 East or at the very least be of interest to other members of the
syndicate.

In Krakow

Has many exhibitions including Video, Installation and Computer art.
organizes lectures and workshops and has a good bookshop covering the
above. one of the best contemporary galleries in Poland.

In Gdansk

An excellent quarterly magazine that covers Polish and international
Video, installation, photography and Net art.
In Polish with most articles translated to English. Good advertisement
section to keep you abreast of what other galleries across Poland are
showing and upcoming festivals.
Problem is overseas distribution is poor. So you'll need to order it
direct.

also of interest another Magazine,

Exit; New Art from Poland
Editorial Office
Rynek Starego Miasta 2
00-272 Warszawa
Poland
Tel 31 99 31

Covers same genre as above but specifically Polish art with English
translation. again hit and miss where you can get it .

Lastly coming closer to home are you familiar with Beaconsfield based in
London. They are heavily into net art alongside video and performance. Over
the past few years they have been doing artist exchanges with Finland. this
year they have become involved with artists in The Baltic states with a net
program called ground control. If you dont already know them you can check
them out.

Hope some of this is useful.

Could you add my address to the syndicate email Although i should mention
this address will cease on 31/12/97, after which i will inform you when i
get a new address.

all the best.
