Abstract
3 women and other exhibitions by the duo Toniak-Szczęśniak Curatorial work by Ewa Toniak i Małgorzata Szczęśniak in tandem embraces serious and widely disputed displays such as: 3 women: Maria Pinińska Bereś, Natalia Lach-Lachowicz, Ewa Partum (2011, Zachęta National Gallery of Art, Warsaw) and individual exhibitions by Alina Ślesińska (2007, Zachęta National Gallery of Art, Warsaw) and Natalia LL (2014-2015, Secretum et tremor, Centre for Contemporary Art, Warsaw). Although the role those exhibitions played in the process of the history of feminism cannot be overestimated, those displays distance themselves from simple interpretations of critical approaches and subversive strategies. From one point of view, the Toniak-Szczęśniak tandem created true blockbusters, however from the other, it asked artists difficult questions between the lines, participating in the production of greatness that is definitely adamant and not deprived of imperfections. The 3 women exhibition is a pretext to think about the condition of the second wave of Polish feminism and the musealization of ephemeral countercultural activities. Taking into account the contemporary influence of their works, female artists resign from the form invented in other circumstances and create the works from the seventies anew. The refreshment of art works done makes them attractive to the Polish modern middle class and their aesthetic aspirations. Small photographic copies or prints of poor quality which, in times of communism could be placed in a briefcase and taken abroad without the involvement of institutions (works which had strong anti-institutional and critical dimensions) were transformed into works the format of billboards, not only changing the size of the originals but their form too, and – as a result – also their sense.
