The Hidden Decade

The Hidden Decade project has been lead for two years by the WRO Art Centre and dedicated to the Polish video art history. The WRO 09 Biennale is the project’s first public exhibition. The project has been developed on the basis of a representative collection of works from 1985-1995 created with video and/or early digital technology.

The resulting exhibition is open now in the Wroclaw National Museum as part of WRO Biennale, opened in May 2009. It will also be exhibited in Bunkier Sztuki, Kraków (November 2009). Selected video works were made available in a set of 4 DVDs.
