Title: Fugitives from Culture" : The Polish Neo-Avant-Garde and Beyond
Description: Berlin, Germany, Penka Rare Books and Archives, 2024. Softcover. Black and white illustrated wraps with blue text and French flaps inside both covers. (3) 4-131 pp. Features many color and b+w illustrations. "Fugitives from Culture" is not only a richly illustrated exhibition and rare book catalog, but also a comprehensive introductory documentation of unofficial art in Poland in the 1970s and 1980s, based on difficult-to-access, mostly handmade artists' books, magazines, multiples, posters and other ephemera, as well as photographs, drawings and autographs. Art-historical interest in the still largely unexplored underground art behind the Iron Curtain is growing. These groups saw themselves less as "avant-gardes" and more as "fugitives from culture" who worked outside the established cultural institutions in East and West. Various groups developed new practices for producing, showing, critiquing, and archiving art. VG .
