About

lokal_30 is located in a pre-war house in Foksal Street, Warsaw. It serves as an alternative and complementary art space, which aims to create a venue for meetings and discussions where every participant has an equal voice. Adapting lokal_30 for its new function as an exhibition space was limited in that the removal of furniture was the only means of refurbishment so as to make more space for artistic activity and, eventually, exhibitions. All other traces of the previous tenants have been preserved. Lighter spots on the wall where paintings had once hung, or bookshelves outlined in dust. Owing to the decision not to sanitise the past in any way, the space has retained its exceptional informal atmosphere. In return anyone who contributes to the space in any way will have a place in its history. lokal_30 make presentations and exhibitions of works by artists from Poland and from overseas, and run a number of collaborative projects within other venues and museums. Alongside being an exhibition space, lokal_30 also provides residencies for artists from Poland and overseas hosting meetings, lectures and performances. Over coffee and a light meal, participants of their regular breakfasts with the artist are able to view documentation of artworks and slide-shows, and take part in spontaneous performances. Every breakfast is a unique event conceived entirely by the artist. There are also regular meetings with art curators, collectors, and theorists in the make-believe televiZJon studio run by artist Zuzanna Janin. Each televiZJon studio "production" is an exceptional encounter shaped by the personality of the special guest.
