Kolekcja Tomasza Sikorskiego o Pracowni Dziekanka

The collection is about the activities of the Dziekanka Students' Art Center and Dziekanka Workshop (Pracownia Dziekanka) in the years 1976-1987. Under these two names was the same place, an extraordinary interdisciplinary artistic and educational laboratory, combining the debuting students of Warsaw's art academies and outstanding artists from Poland and abroad. Around the studio, a unique milieu was created, combining post-Fluxus artists interested in new media and avant-garde theatre ventures, but also painters and sculptors of new expression or punk music bands. The years 1976-1987 is the most intense, though the heterogeneous period in the history of Dziekanka, filled with exhibitions, performances, shows, discussions and social life. During this time Tomasz Sikorski was an active participant in events at Dziekanka, and from 1979 he was the co-director of the institution. Owing to his constant presence and managerial function, Sikorski gathered an extensive collection of photos and other materials documenting the functioning of the initiative, going beyond the definitions of independent galleries.

本数据集聚焦于1976年至1987年间Dziekanka学生艺术中心及Dziekanka工作室（Pracownia Dziekanka）的活动。这两个名称之下，实则指的是同一处非凡的跨学科艺术与教育实验室，汇聚了华沙艺术学院的初出茅庐的学生与国内外杰出的艺术家。围绕工作室，形成了一种独特的氛围，融合了后波普艺术家对新媒体及前卫戏剧尝试的兴趣，同时亦包括了新表现主义画家、雕塑家以及朋克音乐乐队。1976年至1987年，尽管是Dziekanka历史中异质化的时期，却也是最为激荡的岁月，其间充斥着展览、表演、演出、讨论及社交生活。在此期间，Tomasz Sikorski积极投身于Dziekanka的各项活动，自1979年起担任该机构的联合总监。得益于他持续的参与和管理工作，Sikorski收集了大量照片及其他材料，详尽地记录了该倡议的运作，超越了独立画廊的定义。
