Selectors EAST 09
Raster Gallery
Lukasz Gorczyca and Michal Kaczynski run Raster independent art space in
Warsaw. They work both internationally and locally to combine progressive art with a spirit of everyday social existence. They are also known for "Raster" art magazine launched in Warsaw in 1995. In Autumn 2000 it was transformed into an online weekly journal www.raster.art.pl. Raster has been instrumental in promoting the work of Wilhelm Sasnal, Marcin Maciejowski, Rafal Bujnowski, Aneta Grzeszykowska and Michal Budny.

Art & Language
EAST 09 will be selected by Michael Baldwin and Mel Ramsden of Art & Language. The name Art & Language was adopted in 1968, to refer to a collaborative practice that had developed over the previous two years. The journal Art-Language was first published in May 1969. By the mid 1970s some 20 people were associated with the name, divided between
England and New York. From 1976, however, the genealogical thread of Art & Language’s artistic work was taken solely into the hands of Baldwin and Ramsden, with the theoretical and critical collaboration of these two with Charles Harrison. Art & Language have also collaborated with BANK, the rock band The Red Krayola and on theory installations with The Jackson Pollock Bar. They have been included in many international exhibitions including Documenta in 1972, 1982 and 1997 and Galerie Foksal in 1975. They have also had several major exhibitions in recent years at the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume, Paris (1993), F.A.T Barcelona (1999), P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, New York (1999) and the Musée d'Art Moderne, Lille (2002). They are represented by the Lisson Gallery and are preparing a show at EMMA, Finland in 2009. They live in South Northamptonshire.
