According to some, dance is the space in which social possiblities are tried out. Based on the art of Katarzyna Kobro, Paulina Olowska, Silke Otto-Knapp and others, Jan Verwoert demonstrates how this social choreography should not be taken too literally.

Call it a feminist re-interpretation of Modernism. Paulina Olowska’s explorations into the history of the avant-garde are steered by idealistic conviction. While most in Poland look forward to a more lucrative European future, this young Polish artist looks back at what her country leaves behind. Convinced as she is that what is dismissed can still be of great value.
