Archive After Hand is an exhibition summarizing a project dedicated to studying the archiving processes of female artists. Agnieszka Grodzińska traced the systems used by creators associated with the Fluxus movement as well as contemporary artists invited to the project. In the process of exploring neighboring archives (Archiwum Idei in Poznań and Archivio Conz in Berlin), the most intriguing clues emerge in yet-undescribed items or unobvious objects found there. Surprising parallels in creative processes, thought constructs, or idea-forming materials engage in dialogue with contemporary approaches to the classification of art. Artifacts simultaneously escape systematization, wandering through cases of partially recognized or dispersed identities and artistic mythologies.
