The Chief Referee

Artists’ Night is a TVP culture programme featuring modern avant-garde off-art: a kind of artistic Hyde Park Corner, an uncensored platform for artistic statements.As the programme makers see it,happenings, performance art, installation, music video, and artistic provocation are a modern, uncompromising means of social communication.It is no accident that Artists’ Night is interactive in character.The viewer is not merely a passive consumer of art here, but an active part of the artistic action played out live in the TVP Kultura studio. Joining the artists in their games, viewers must face uncomfortable questions regarding their role in social and media games. How strong is the media impact on modern society? Can a TV message become a tool of violence? These are some of the questions posed by the artists of The Chief Referee,the hostesses of Artists’ Night.
