Jagiellonian Art Network in Central Europe
Date du début: 1 juil. 2011,

The project Jagiellonian Art Network in Central Europe (JANICE) has been initiated by 4 museums and one research institute based in Poland, the Czech Republic and Germany with the intention to strengthen their cooperation in the fields of research, museology and education. It is headed jointly by the House of Brandenburg-Prussian History in Potsdam and the Research Centre for the History and Culture of Eastern Central Europe in Leipzig. Project partners are the National Museum and Royal Castle at Warsaw as well as the Central Bohemian Gallery in Kutná Hora. Through this project the cooperating institutions aim to create greater public awareness of the common cultural heritage of Central Europe and make it accessible more widely.JANICE centres upon a collaboratively conceived and organized exhibition to be shown in all three countries. This exhibition displays the art and culture of Central Europe during the era of the Jagiellonians, the most powerful European dynasty c. 1500, presenting the manifold cultural traditions of this epoch as well as its intense artistic network and exchanges. For the first time these phenomena are shown within a historically accurate framework transcending national boundaries. Hence the exhibition forms a vital contribution towards a more comprehensive and challenging perception of Europe, opening up perspectives which have thus far been obstructed by nationalist interpretations of the past. Multi-national expert knowledge as well as artefacts are drawn together for the first time and thus provide new scholarly insights and a crucial impetus for further research.JANICE comprises the cataloguing of the Jagiellonian dynasty's cultural heritage for the central exhibition project and its respective regional cornerstones (including research, documentation, and conservation); flanking events; and collaborative education and publicizing projects aiming at a general public. It is only the central component that funds are being applied for.
