Kurzfassung:
The essay critically examines the participatory excavation project The Cut (2015) performed in the former ghetto area of Warsaw in relation to the artists-in-residence program administered by POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. By investigating the spatial, social and historical framing of the artistic intervention and the discourses it mobilizes, the author contests the underlying presumption that participatory art inherently produces democratic and positive social and spatial relations. The author argues that unaddressed socio-historical contexts of Polish-Jewish relations in such art genres may lead to re-production of the oppressive patterns of culture that include exclusion and appropriation.
