RE-DIRECTING: EAST
Curatorial research residencies at the Artists in Residence Laboratory
3 June–18 October 2013
Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle
ul. Jazdów 2, 00-467 Warsaw, Poland

RE-DIRECTING: EAST is a new project from the A-I-R Laboratory of the
Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw, drawing
attention towards regions that hitherto have rarely been present in
artists residency programs: Eastern European and Middle Eastern
countries. In the past, the complex geopolitical situation of the
region was not conducive to establishing relationships, not only
with the more distant western part of Europe, but even between
countries that border one another. RE-DIRECTING: EAST, beginning in
June of 2013, aims to build new spaces for dialogue and exploration.
The curators, artists, as well as other professionals in the field
of contemporary art that are going to be invited to Warsaw, will
contribute to the creation of communication networks and the
exchange of knowledge as well as experience between remote worlds.
Warsaw, due to its historical experience and geographic location, is
an ideal place for such a meeting.
In the first edition of the project, from June till October 2013,
the guests of A-I-R Laboratory at the Ujazdowski Castle will include
curators as well as other cultural practitioners active in the area
of culture from Afghanistan, Armenia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan,
Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Moldova, Pakistan, Russia, Syria, Turkey, and
Ukraine.
Public presentations of RE-DIRECTING: EAST Conversations will be
held every Wednesday at 6pm CET. On this day, the public will have
access to the Project Studio—a place of work, meetings, and a
storage room for the materials gathered in the course of project
development, a proto-exhibition space designed by Jan Strumiłło.
The conversations will be recorded and available online at here.
