Accepted Paper:
Gender uncertainty as a tool for managing community art projects in Poland. The case of Krzysztof Marchlak's "Glitter" (2022)
Weronika Plinska
(Institute of Art and Design, University of the National Education Commission in Cracow)
Paper short abstract:
In this paper I will discuss the "shimmering, synthetic appearances" (Linker 1983) created by contemporary visual artist Krzysztof Marchlak, which portray individuals belonging to the LGBTQ community in Poland.
Paper long abstract:
I will also refer to his large-scale photographic panorama entitled "Paradiso" which I will describe as a socially engaged synthetic appearance of an artificial paradise dedicated for those exiled from the kingdom of binary gender oppositions. I will argue that contemporary artistic photography can become a tool for managing community art projects created with those communities that suffer from systemic practices of delimiting their visibility in public sphere.
