ARTUM FOUNDATION ewa partum museum "The act of thinking is an act of art"
ewa partum The ARTUM Foundation was established in 2016.

The main goal of the Foundation is to create an art museum in the rural area, where the presence of contemporary art in everyday life has been marginal. The Foundation undertakes translocal activities that can be understood in terms of generating relationships, knowledge, and experiences. We aim to create an infrastructure of exchange – an inclusive platform for developing local, regional, and tra

nsnational dialog. We are primarily concerned with the distribution of knowledge about contemporary art following the idea that art is the key to imagination and to the practice of critical thinking as expressed in one of Partum's work: "the act of thinking is an act of art." The Foundation cooperates with local, regional, and international partners, including artists and institutions, realizing educational programs, festivals, and exhibitions together. We plan to develop an inclusive program of artistic residencies, workshops, and meetings addressed to both the local and international public. A special place in our program is given to developing a cultural offer for children and young people.

WOMEN’S DREAMS / FRAUENTRÄUME
An imagined encounter between women artists active in the 1980s in the GDR and the People’s Republic of Poland — a meeting that political circumstances at the time made impossible.
The exhibition brings together works by Ewa Zarzycka, Ewa Partum, Izabella Gustowska, Christine Schlegel, Cornelia Schleime, Gabriele Stötzer, Tina Bara and the collective Künstlerinngruppe Erfurt.
🕊️ In the 1980s, martial law, censorship, and closed borders shaped artistic life in both countries — even between states officially considered “brotherly.” Scarcity, surveillance, and repression left little room for artistic freedom. Many chose internal emigration, others left the country. Some, however, developed alternative and underground practices. These women artists challenged state-controlled images of femininity, resisted prescribed gender roles, and reclaimed control over their own bodies and representations. Working with performance, 8mm film, photography, collage, graphic art, zines, and independent exhibition formats, they invented new artistic languages under conditions of political and social pressure. In front of conservative audiences, their bodies became sites of confrontation — exposed, painted over, bound, or constrained — making visible the intersection of political repression and patriarchal control. Their practices were radical, experimental, and deeply connected to subcultural and avant-garde networks: punk and underground scenes in the GDR, conceptual and avant-garde traditions in Poland.
🤝 Despite closed borders, a sense of solidarity and sisterhood emerged through informal exchanges, collective initiatives, and alternative spaces.
Women’s Dreams stages the encounter that history prevented — and invites us to reflect on the act of looking itself. The exhibition architecture creates two perspectives: a conventional display and an elevated viewpoint that frames the works as a contemporary dialogue with the past.
A story of resistance, artistic autonomy, and solidarity across borders that once divided.
