Ephemerality of the sensual experience becomes an important challenge for researchers, art historians, and conservators. The article concentrates on the various aspects of experiencing taste, its place in aesthetics and different ways in which artists engage this sense in their works. The analysis is focused on artworks and performances of two Polish artists: Anna Królikiewicz and Oskar Dawicki. What remains as the taste vanishes? How to “preserve” taste? Why contemporary artists concentrate on non-visual senses? Those are the main issues raised in the article. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11716/12040 Artistic Education and the Artist’s Work: the Way out of Producing Objects Nakonechna, Lada In this article, the changes of the principles of teaching art in the 20th century are discussed. The artist’s path from producing objects to conducting sensory experiences, from producing representations of reality to taking an active part in the construction of reality, was reflected in the process of educational transformation. New art practices grounded in communicative features, interaction, collaboration, do not tend to make a material work as a final product, but they act in the area of the invisible. In the new conditions of the neo-liberal economy, the artist’s abilities, based on language and developed owing to pedagogical innovations in the art academies and university departments, are at risk of becoming a product of a new type, a valuable resource of creative economy, while counteraction determines new challenges for education. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11716/12039 Instructive Invisibility: Paradoxical Sub-Pedagogy of Janusz Orbitowski Solewski, Rafał The text focuses on Janusz Orbitowski, a Krakow-based painter of geometric abstraction, and on his teaching methods at the Academy of Fine Arts. This discussion is combined with interpretation of his works. Orbitowski’s distance to the academic milieu and his quiet teaching of traditional nude drawing are presented as a contrast to his openness and “energetic” lifestyle among friends, as well as to the distinct expressiveness found in his works. The text suggests that the paradoxical duality of silent invisibility, concealed by expression, could lead the artist and his students as well as the viewers of his art to a variety of cognitive experiences, including metaphysical cognition. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11716/12038 Guerrilla Girls: Invisible Sex in the Field of Art Maniak, Katarzyna The article focuses on an artist and activist collective Guerrilla Girls, created in 1985 in order to fight discrimination in the art field. It presents the group’s strategies, using selected actions as examples. The article is also a critical analysis of the collective’s achievements in the context of feminist theories, especially one concerning the relations between feminism and issues of race and ethnicity. The author is also interested in the connections between members of the group and the art system, as well as questions on sexism in the contemporary art field, after 30 years of Guerrilla Girls’ existence. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z
