CZYM BYŁA / JEST KULTURA ZRZUTY?
WHAT WAS / HAS BEEN THE PITCH-IN CULTURE?

Summary/Abstract: The Pitch-In Culture was a cultural phenomenon of the eighties, happening in Poland at various artistic milieus. The Pitch-in Culture emerged at the ground level as an artistic initiative. In artistic terms it was a trend based on post-conceptual art. On the one hand it expressed the ending of modernism, and on the other – the beginnings of postmodernism in Polish art. Therefore, it gathered together the most progressive art at that time. It closed the past of avant-garde art, and at the same time it opened new post-avant-garde perspectives for art. Therefore it was the Pitch-in Culture that caught the continuity of Polish art during the turn of modernism / postmodernism, and the continuity broken in other fields by martial law.
