> SURVIVAL is an event that has been held for 13 years and presents
> contemporary art in the public space of Wrocław. The Review is hosted in
> buildings and building complexes located near the main centres of events or
> in social spaces where the everyday life of the city concentrates.
> Throughout its 13-year history, SURVIVAL has been organised in venues such
> as: the squares and building in the Four Temples District, the former seat
> of the Feature Films Studio, the Pharmacy building of Wrocław Medical
> University, the former air-raid shelter in Plac Strzegomski, or the central
> railway station.
>
> The 2015 edition will be held in the historical barracks of the Riot
> Police Unit in Wrocław in Księcia Witolda Street. The exhibition concept
> will be devised basing on the context of an offence in its broad sense, and
> the inspiration for both the curators and the artists will be provided by
> the human need to violate the law and break generally accepted rules, which
> is part an parcel of human nature.
>
> The motto of this year’s edition, “Prohibited Acts”, has been inspired by
> a legal term and refers to human behaviours and phenomena bordering on
> illegality or openly violating the law. The chosen venue, which is strongly
> marked by its former policing function, will make it possible to study a
> number of notions linked with breaking human-made as well as natural laws.
> The very gradation of the phenomenon: offence – crime – felony, could be
> treated as an introduction to deliberations on the dysfunctions in social
> relationships.
>
> This year’s motto is also significant in the context of the city, which in
> scientific research is often described as an area exceptionally prone to
> victimization. Similarly to Dostoyevsky’s “Crime and Punishment”, which
> depicted a totally broken city on the verge of decline, today’s motif of
> the “sin city” is often used in art and culture as a metaphor of human
> decline.
>
> Artists have always been interested in evil. With reference to
> contemporary visual arts, the motto suggests threads connected not only
> with the traditionally understood perception of crime and offence as
> inspiration for artists, but also triggers associations with “prohibited
> acts” in art. These acts, however, do not just include the immoral and
> socially condemned practices of “appropriation”, “transformation” and even
> “destruction”, i.e. all the rebellious and deceptive actions that distort
> the authoritative social order. In the newest art, all that which is
> prohibited or borders on illegality is often consciously included in the
> repertoire of artistic methods, becoming part of contemporary
> practitioners’ manifestoes or even a legitimate field of art.
