The talk was held at the WRO Atelier, on the occasion on Jaś Domicz’ exhibition On Holiday (14.04-19.05.2012). Jaś speaks on the role of art for young artists and the need to reevaluate the quality of human relations in the world dominated by social media. According to Domicz, an artist should operate in a group of family and friends, he should talk with them on a daily basis to create a real community. The quality of human relations in the social media is as good (or bad) as the quality of their interrelations in the real life. An idea, a work of art can also be spread in social networks as good as in galleries and museums. It’s the place where we create our reality and our self-image that could always be changed, by changing the status or liking certain things.

I strongly believe in a model of idea spreading which I call a decentralized net. (...) The work's value can be appreciated only when it finds its place.

For Jaś the most interesting moment in art, is when a piece of work finds itself in an appropriate space. The artist needs to know how to use proper techniques and he has to constantly ask himself fundamental questions like Why? For What reason?

Piotr Bosacki gave his talk at the newly renovated WRO Atelier — an off-gallery and a workshop space — where, as an extension of the WRO Art Center, the main theme is creative experimentation in direct contact with the public. The place has become an area of Bosacki’s latest project Music Graphs. During 4 weeks he has been working in the WRO Atelier on The Fourth Scroll, a new composition for 12 strings. On certain days the public could visit the artist, speak with him and see the evolving “Music Graphs” exhibition of sketches, graphs and scores created during his work.

For me, the process of building is always long, and when I create a construction, it always has 32 versions and different variants, which I then select.

The concept of Music Graphs was the starting point to the discussion about Piotr Bosacki’s other activities, his use of different media and genres, visual representation ofmusic and the performative nature of this project.

This space has become a place of Bosacki’s latest project “Music Graphs”. During 4 weeks, he has been working on the composition for 12 strings instruments “The Fourth Scroll” and the “Music Graphs” — exhibition of the sketches, graphs and scores created during his work.

Since my early years, I've mainly been interested in how composers put one note after the next, what is the technology of writing notes.

The concept of this project was the starting point to the discussion about his activities, usage of the media and genres, visual representation of the music and the performative nature of this project.
