On the first day of the festival we open Atelier 72 Revisted exhibition. It provides a new perspective on the groundbreaking exhibition of Polish contemporary art curated by Richard Demarco in the scheme of Edinburgh Festival in 1972. The enlarged pages of the original catalog, each of them devoted to one artist/group and designed by him/her will be a starting point of the exhibition. We present works of selected participants of the cult exhibition, also the ones that were created after 1972. The exhibits are paintings, graphic works, posters, films, video, photographs, sculptures, installations, sound pieces and documentation. The exhibition arranged in the form of a labyrinth which relates to the historical aspect, multilayered nature of time and variety of genres is shown in multimedia space of the sanatorium (transformed into the laboratory of art), cellars, corridors and tower. It uses the genius loci of Sokolovsko, a place of healing which relates to Richard Demarco advocating the healing properties of art, transgressing political and national divisions.
