Kaja Pawelek is art historian and curator; works at CCA Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw. Contributes regularly to architectural magazine ‘Architektura & Biznes’, as well as ‘Obieg’ art magazine, published several catalogue texts and interviews with the artists. Recently has edited the publication by architect and artist Jakuby Szczesny “Island. Synchronicity” and an extensive reader on Joanna Rajkowska’s “Oxygenator”. Her interests focus on the cross-sections of visual arts, architecture and public interventions.

I would like to say a few words about the institutional/non institutional collaboration and cross-collaboration, strategies of interacting with the public (as if to directly call the public, create a situation interesting for the public for individual exploration etc.), the misleading idea of 'general public' which never exists, modes of exclusion/exclusion and setting the (sub)territories by art projects. As I wrote you already, the interesting point is the overtaking the independency by the big fishes within the art world, invisible frame/labelling as power tool. It would be alos ineresting to ask why art not applied activism? why still art and not applied politics?

and: the difference between theories, debates, ideas and the  reality - which makes the main difference after all.
