I Festival of Art in Public Spaces

Lublin, Poland 22 June-20 July 2009

Open City is a new festival of contemporary art in public spaces of Lublin. The project involves the activation of urban space and the introduction of the artistic impulse in its structure. Its aim is permanent presence of art in public space of Lublin. We would like to transform the city into an inexhaustible area of artistic explorations, with no framework and limits.

The term "open city" originates from military language and describes a city which during armed conflict, is annouced by the authories in power to be undefended. The purpose of this annoucement is to stop the enemy from attacking and plundering the city.

Curator: Waldemar Tatarczuk
