COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPETITION THEME: "What’s new in art?"

A performative meeting, taking place in real time, broadcast live, is a kind of manifestation of the and an answer to the competition question. The originators of the project closely alluded to the competition inspiration: the 1987 exhibition 'What's Up', which was a manifesto, a rebellion in the context of the parallel historical events in Poland and the upcoming socio-political changes.

 

FINAL EFFECT

An interdisciplinary creative activity by a group of students and educators inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's work The Last Supper, taking place in real time with live transmission.
