  • The Hidden Decade. Polish Video Art 1985-1995

    The Hidden Decade is a selection of works that are crucial to the history of Polish video art. The ten-year period from 1985 to 1995 was a remarkable era in Polish art: an era when new artistic approaches were taking shape – an era full of social, political and cultural transformation. It started with dissent against the realities of Communist Poland, especially after the repressive martial-law period; it lead to the emergence of a forerunner of the art scene as we know it today.
