The book focuses on representations of the body in contemporary Polish art. It explores the approach of artists towards the subject of individuality; specifically, and investigates the gendered body as material for art. The central claim is that art produced in Poland after 1989 is a documentation of a process – the process of the reestablishment of art within the nation.Analyzing works of art produced by various Polish artists after 1989, the author proves that they use the body as a medium for recording the changing condition of the individual in Poland. Works by Kozyra, Kulik, ?ebrowska and ?mijewski are shown in the context of the shift from the singualrity and inclusiveness of the category ”body” the multiplicity and plurality of subject positions, and art becoms a cultural strategy that modifies and extends the range of existing cultural categories, adopting them to the particular anti-patriarchal and anti-exclusionary interests.
