Archiwum Polskiego Performansu Muzeum Sztuki Nowoczesnej w Warszawie

Polish artists and circles involved in performance art were in many ways critical of Polish People's Republic authorities. They would often be involved in the so-called “second circuit” of publishers and galleries that functioned without public support and independently from national institutions. Performers’ actions themselves were also loaded critically not only towards the authoritarian practices of the “people’s” government, but also the patriarchal and hierarchical aspects of Polish culture. The Archive of Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw presents the history of Polish performance art. It uses an attractive web portal to publish photographic and video recordings of artistic actions along with commentaries from curators. The Archive is also engaged in research and promotion activities, and is participating in the preparation of Museum’s permanent exhibition.

波兰艺术家及其参与表演艺术的团体在许多方面对波兰人民共和国的当局持批判态度。他们常常置身于所谓的“第二圈层”，即那些不依赖公众支持且独立于国家机构的出版社和画廊。表演者的行为本身也承载着对‘人民’政府的威权实践、波兰文化的父权制和等级制度等方面的批判性反思。华沙现代艺术博物馆档案馆展示了波兰表演艺术的历史。它通过一个引人入胜的门户网站发布艺术行为的摄影和视频记录，并附有策展人的评论。档案馆还致力于研究和推广活动，并参与博物馆永久展览的筹备工作。
