Lidija Laforest, Bruxelles, 1958.<\/p><\/div>\n

International female avant-garde art exhibitions in 4 cities: Ljubljana, Riga, Warsaw, Zagreb and innovative on-line repository that will contain around 1.550 sorted graphics, drawings, paintings, art installations, personal notes, poems and photographs will be made among the European art project \u201cNot Yet Written Stories \u2013 Women Artists’ Archives Online\u201d that just have started in Poland, Croatia, Slovenia and Lithuania. The project based on rich collection of European woman art has plans for workshops, international conference and publication.<\/p>\n

For several years Arton Foundation, based in Warsaw, with partners has been implementing archive digitisation projects concerning the European avant-garde art of the second half of the 20th<\/sup> century. The main idea of that art bridge is to create an innovative database \u2013 public cross-border online repository that is made by collaboration of international students who learn about digitization of art and working with artists\u2019 archives. The upcoming project called \u201cNot Yet Written Stories – Women Artists’ Archives Online\u201d<\/strong> is dedicated to avant-garde women artists and lacuna of their art in European heritage.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs art historians and professionals from the visual art sector, we find as extremely important to\u00a0include into public discourse on visual arts works created by women artists, to avoid further discrimination against\u00a0women\u00a0artists consisting of their elimination from European history<\/strong>\u201d, says Marika Ku\u017amicz, the curator of the project. \u201cThe digitisation by using the interactive innovative tool, like common database will help enrich the European heritage of modern art and save a significant part of it from extinction\u201d, she explains.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0scholarly \u201csin of omission\u201d and exclusion of work by women from the canon of history art resulted in erasure of achievements of numerous artists.\u00a0Such\u00a0omissions\u00a0were\u00a0common place, and occurred regardless of the socio-political situation. However, women artists in culturally and economically \u2018peripheral\u2019 countries of the Iron Curtain<\/strong>, outside the mainstream of the art world, were at risk of double exclusion, due to issues of both geography and sex. The project is aimed at counteracting this situation, as well as educating a new generation of researchers, art historians and cultural experts who are aware of this state of affairs and have the knowledge and tools to\u00a0remedy\u00a0it.<\/p>\n

The European project involves the organization of workshops<\/strong> with the participation of students from various countries, next based on their work will be organized an international exhibition in Warsaw, <\/strong>Ljubljana, Riga and Zagreb<\/strong>. Four workshop groups made of students, under the supervision of four teams of tutors, in each of the partner countries, will conduct research aimed at examining the scale of the phenomenon of exclusion of women artists in their countries and the consequences of that exclusion. The repository will contain approximately 1550 of sorted and classified archive<\/strong>s. Such rich collection of female art will be presented to public completely for free.<\/p>\n

The opening<\/strong> of the exhibition in Salon Akademii gallery is already scheduled for 16th<\/sup> of May 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, the participants of the workshops will have the opportunity to attend the conference<\/strong> with institutions<\/strong> from Poland, Croatia, Slovenia and Latvia<\/strong>\u00a0to present their own opinions about reception of the archives. The effects of the conference will remain published for the international public.<\/p>\n
