DIK Fagazine “BEFORE ’89” issue launch at Motto Berlin, 05.04.2012 – 19.00.

DIK Fagazine is happy to invite you for the Berlin premiere of our “BEFORE ’89” issue at Motto. Join us for a launch event with editor Karol Radziszewski and Berlin based artist Piotr Nathan who is interviewed in this issue.

The latest issue of DIK Fagazine, “BEFORE ’89,” is the culmination of extensive archive work, as well as travels across Europe. Drawing from a range of contributors, the magazine traces a cultural legacy specific to Poland, while following a trail through Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Serbia, Hungary and the Czech Republic.

Wolfgang Tillmans, who first visited Warsaw in 2011, provides an account of the anniversary of the plane crash in Smolensk, celebrated in the overblown national-religious vein of the Polish right. Bruce LaBruce’s contribution gives the impression that he’s describing a time when communism is alive and well, and not Poland in the year 2000.

The publication explores park cruising areas, train stations, beaches and other casual hook-up spots. Ryszard Kisiel shares the astonishing story of his zine titled “Filo”, Slava Mogutin uncovers the story of homosexuals in the Soviet Gulags, and BEFORE ’89 conducts a search investigation for Michel Foucault’s Polish lover.

Contributors of DIK Fagazine 8th issue include Arobal, Wojciech BƒÖkowski, Bruce LaBruce, Boris L. Davidovich, Andrej Dubravsky, Paul Dunca, Christine Fenzl, Nan Goldin, Kamil Julian, Ryszard Kisiel, Slava Mogutin, Jaanus Samma and Wolfgang Tillmans.

UNESCO succeeded in the transposition of the “International Convention on the Immunity for the Emigrant Artist” – regarding visa regime issues after the last state member of the UNESCO-General-Conference adapted the law relating to the free movement of artist. The decree was approved by UNESCO-General–Conference in the last meeting in 2011 in Paris.” The decrees’ special concern is to provide emigrant artists with a particular status of immunity. With the Artist Immunity implemented, the decree states that artists (irrespective of race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, economic status or birth) will be free to travel across the borders of the Globe, will be provided with the working permits, will be enabled to produce art works and will be facilitated with a right to reside in the country of their choice. The privilege of the Artist Immunity will be granted to everyone (irrespective of race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, economic status or birth) who can successfully verify and confirm their artistic status to the states authority of the residency in choice.
