‘INVOLVED ART’ BY ARTUR ŻMIJEWSKI Tryka describes a relationship between Artur Żmijewski’s artistic practice and his theoretical deliberations on involved art. Żmijewski’s conception of art, expressed in a manifesto Applied Social Arts, is discussed in the context of aesthetical conception of art. Tryka starts with the description of his artistic manifesto entitled ‘Applied social arts’, which is one of most influential voice in the debate on the role of involved art in contemporary culture in Poland. Theoretical questions from the manifesto connected with the metaphor of art as algorithm, the alienation of art and possibilities of its overcoming fill the first paragraphs of the paper. In the second part, Tryka described two projects by Żmijewski entiltled ‘Democracies’ and sculptural plain-air entitled ‘Memories of Celulose’. She compared them with Żmijewski’s ideas and interpreted them in philosophical context. Żmijewski believed that the value of art cannot be measured in the context of aesthetics but only in the context of its ability to influence social and political events. He considered art as social tool which could be used to studying and forming social relations. Moreover, artists should contribute to people’s involvement in artistic activities, and in forming people’s worldviews. They should be able to develop and explore creative potential of people who aren’t yet interested in art and they should be able to properly evaluate cooperation between people.

Polish Feminism – Paradigms The issue of feminist art struggles with a great problem. In my study I focus solely on Polish artists, and thus on the genealogy of feminist art in Poland. Although all the presented activities brought up the feminist thread, in many cases a dissonance occurs on the level of the artists’ own reflections. There is a genuine reluctance of many Polish artists to use the term “feminist” about their art. They dissent from such categorization as if afraid that the very name will bring about a negative reception of their art. And here, in my opinion, a paradox appears, because despite such statements, their creativity itself is in fact undoubtedly feminist. I think that Polish artists express themselves through their art in an unambiguous way – they show their feminine „I”. The woman is displayed in their statement about themselves, about the experiences, their body, their sexuality. Feminism defined the concept of art in a new way. The state- ment that art has no gender is a myth. The activities of women-artists are broader and broader, also in Poland women become more and more noticed and appreciated. Feminist art does not feature a separate artistic language, it rather features a tendency towards realism, lent by photogra- phy or video, which reflects the autonomy of the female reception of the world. It should be stated that feminism is a socially needed phenomenon, and its critique drives successive generations of women-artists.
