"Przestrzeń i miejsce w praktyce artystycznej. Socjologicznestudiumprzypadku" [Space and place in artistic practice: a sociological case study] by Karolina Izdebska
"...The presented case study is based on the theatre actiontitled Przeprowadzka [Moving] by WeronikaFibich, an example of a site-specific action containing also elements of other types of art in public space. This action takes place in a specific space chosen by the artist and conceptually bound to it. This place is Niebuszewo - a Szczecin’s district of rather confused history, once inhabited a multiethnic and multicultural population, where a large part of new settlers, mainly Poles and Jews, replaced the expatriated German population..."
(from the Introduction)
"Karolina Izdebska's writing idea can be treated as a (very specific and intelligent) mashup or remix (to use fashionable expressions from the field of cultural studies); its most important goal is to keep attention, to prolong life, and actually to effectively archive the project, which was intended as an ephemeral one, yet at one point it seemed valuable enough to be preserved, so it was necessary to think about "packing it in some kind of a time capsule".
...the way the author approached Przeprowadzka– understanding it as a set of existing data – as well as her approach to everything that was happening around this undertaking: what preceded it and what followed it... is, in my opinion, a very important style of the researcher’s work, worth of the highest attention and potentially very promising. In Polish sociology it is actually a completely new quality". (from the review of ProfessorRafałDrozdowski)
