Artist in a Factory. The Mission of the Factory Gallery on the Example of the Nowa Huta’s Rytm ZDK Huty im. Lenina Gallery

Summary/Abstract: This outline is about the presence of artists and their works on the premises of factories andindustrial sectors in the times of PPR. The author pays special attention to factory galleries,social agreements between the artist environment and the management of factories andthe forms of industrial patronage over artistic culture. This phenomenon was connected tothe mission, proclaimed by communist ideologists, cultural activists and artists and criticssupporting them, of making art more commonly available, especially in making plastic artavailable for industrial environments. Despite the utopian aspect of many views of that times,the example of Nowa Huta confirms the efficiency and sense of the actions started then,though of course it does not justify the circumstances and methods of their implementation,which at best can be perceived as outdated.
