Bunkier Sztuki presents international modern art in a wide cultural context. Bunkier Sztuki is above all a gallery – the place of direct encounters with art and with artists. We organise exhibitions, show films and present discussions with artists. Around this ‘vocation’ we create rationalisations, explanations and attractions. In the Bunkier Sztuki Club, we present various problems which make artists tick. We talk about politics, religion, gender, taboos and the media. The ‘nervousness’ of art is our main programme adviser. We also keep an eye on artistic strategies and on other art institutions. Bunkier’s ambition is a programme which would present the richness of the media and reflection of modern art.
1. Exhibitions
The artistic programme in Bunkier focuses on presentation of several issues of contemporary art: the work of young artists that comment the trends and problems of the 21st century art, problematic shows, retrospective exhibitions of key figures of the contemporary art.
In the year 2009 Bunkier Sztuki realized the exhibitions of Polish and foreign artists, among the others: Robert Kuśmirowski. The Colector’s Massif, Leopold Kessler. Observations and Interventions, Witkacy. Psychoholizm.
2. Editorial activity
The catalogues published in that period constitute compendia on the work of the presented artist, they include comprehensive chronologies and critical texts.
3. Bunkier Sztuki Club – a place for discussion, comments, reflections but also performance and artists talks.
4. Little Club of Bunkier Sztuki – educational, interactive programme for children related to the current Gallery’s activity.
