Witaj w klubie AIDS. Cenzura i kanon wobec nienormatywności na przykładzie wystaw „5000 sztuk” i „Ja i AIDS”

Abstract

Welcome to the AIDS Club. Censorship and the canon in the face of non-normativity on the example of the exhibitions ‘5,000 pieces’ and ‘Me and AIDS’ The paper reflects on the censorship after 1989 in the context of its ability to create and paradoxically legitimise the otherness. As an example the author uses Polish imagery around the HIV/AIDS epidemics with special focus on two artistic exhibitions from the early 1990s with the epidemic as the subject. One of them was quite successful, but it is forgotten today; the other is remembered to this day and often mentioned in the context of 1990s art even though it was censored back then. Showing the relations between censorship and discourses of otherness the paper reflects on different political possibilities inscribed in the history of transition.
