OOU Association for Contemporary Culture Fotopub focuses on generating links between the freshest artistic activity and its wider cultural context.

Unlike many other cultural institutions working in the field of contemporary art, our foremost intention is to work actively at the site/place where emerging photographic practices meet unconventional curatorial gestures. We aim to recognize the qualities of young artists and connect them with established professionals in the field of contemporary art, thus enabling future interactions and support

ing the development and acceleration of their artistic careers. Fotopub occupies and builds a space for emerging artists in a need of a platform for independent research, experimentation and practice, forming a multigenerational initiative for interdisciplinary cultural integration.

Fotopub is pleased to announce the appointment of Dorian Batycka as curator-at-large. The position of curator-at-large has been specially created at Fotopub to energize our institution with new ideas, adding alternative perspectives for the exhibition program, research and public program.

Dorian Batycka (b. 1985) is a Polish/Canadian curator and art critic fluent in post-truth and the semiotics of contemporary art. He is particularly absorbed by the signs, symbols and memes used in the everyday cultural vernacular of the internet and performance studies. He contributes regularly to publications such as Hyperallergic frieze, artnet and The Art Newspaper. His curatorial work often engages in public interfacing projects, globalization and decolonial thinking. His work has been activated as far afield as the Centrum Sztuki Współczesnej Zamek Ujazdowski and the La Biennale di Venezia.

The appointment of Batycka will help synthesize the strategy of Fotopub to question its own established knowledge and to engage with a multiplicity of narratives that transcend Western European modernism, and thus help examine our own foundations and purpose moving forward.

It is with great enthusiasm that we welcome Dorian to the team.
