Karol Radzisewski QAI X Théo-Mario Coppola | 2022-2023

Commissioned curatorial project crossing digital exhibition, experimental book and art interview

Visual artist and activist Karol Radziszewski and curator and arts writer Théo-Mario Coppola’s digital collaboration is a new commission from the LIAUX online platform. The lens- and text-based project consists of digital photographs of physical documents and objects from the Queer Archives Institute (QAI), and of an extensive interview between the two collaborators. QAI was founded by Karol Radziszewski as a self-managed archive documenting queer lives in several parts of the world, and has been regularly exhibited as part of his art practice. Working as a meta-archive, the online project considers the role of digital versions in the process of documenting.

The project is part of the Milano Digital Week 2022 programme.
