Home - the Road to Suprasl

K. Baranska

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 1(272) > 158-170

The text originated from a selection of recorded interviews conducted with Maria Parczewska and Janusz Byszewski from the Creative Education Laboratory at the Centre for Contemporary Art in Warsaw. The conversations concerned the 'Home - my centre of the world' art project realized in Suprasl in September 2003. The prime organizer was the Polish Culture Institute at Warsaw University, with the British...

The Baboon-Woman, the Bear-Woman. The History of Viewing Julia Pastrana

A. Wieczorkiewicz

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 1(272) > 40-47

The point of departure is the life of Julia Pastrana, an unusually hirsute Mexican woman who during the second half of the nineteenth century was exhibited as a freak, the missing link, or the Ape Woman, and who also attracted the attention of men of science. Her biography provides us with insight into the nature of viewing people endowed with bodies contrasting with the norms recognized by society...

Venice - Kinshasa. Invisible Towns

L. Zaremba

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 1(272) > 89-99

The article deals with the institution of the exhibition and, quite possibly first and foremost, with the manner of 'displaying' (representation), characteristic for this institution as well as reception and comprehension, closely associated with it, whose range transcends far beyond museum walls. Similarly to the map, the museum constitutes a point of departure for further reflections about perception...

Cartoon-work

K. Murawska-Muthesius

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 1(272) > 82-88

Caricatures and cartoons, an established technique of both the 'overloaded' and 'liberated' image, constitute an especially relevant medium for the studies on visuality and the mechanisms of representation. Although traditionally perceived as 'weapons', the instruments of social and political interventionism, caricatures and cartoons have been demystified as 'sermons', the tools of policing the established...

The Complex of Echidna. (The Visual Beast)

W. Michera

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 1(272) > 47-67

In the medieval commentaries on Genesis 3:1 and in the art of the 13th-17th century, the Edenic tempter is often visualized as having a maiden's face. The author argues that this feminization of the serpent means that the sin is defined as a 'representation'. In Part I, the author examines the late ancient discourse on the evil. Plotin, who identifies the evil with the matter as the non-being - intelligible...

Casting Spells on Representation

S. Wrobel

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 1(272) > 119-131

Where should one seek the archaeological sources of the representation system? Are those skills embedded in our behavioral and even emotional functioning since in accordance with the suggestion formulated by Freud sources of human symbolism should be sought in defensive mechanisms which allow us to deal with the first painful wounds inflicted against our narcissism? In the beginning there was the...

The Works of Jerzy Grotowski as a 'Research Subject'

Z. Osinski

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 1(272) > 132-157

This text emerged gradually in the course of several years. Its consecutive stages were composed of author's presentations at numerous conferences and symposia dedicated to Jerzy Grotowski. For many people Grotowski was, and remains primarily a «spiritual master», a sage and a guru, while others consider him to be an outstanding politician and strategist who managed to successfully tackle even the...

Vesalius and the Print Culture: Public Dissection as Intimate Ritual

C. Klestinec

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 1(272) > 15-25

Published in 1543, Andreas Vesalius' 'De humani corporis fabrica' contains one of the most celebrated and debated images of human dissection. The frontispiece features a large audience around Vesalius himself, who demonstrates the reproductive organs from the uterus of a recently dissected cadaver. Rather than see the image as a reflection of Vesalius's modern or humanist approach to the study of...

Wild Animals - the Theatre - Gods. Plato's 'Virtue' and Aristotle's 'Golden Mean', or Classical Theses about Ethics and Politics, or Antitheses about Mimesis

Y. Papadopulos

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 1(272) > 110-118

An analysis of the Platonian concept of virtue, Aristotle's 'golden mean', and the role played by them in moulding the socio-political reality of Greece. The author ponders on the place assigned to man in the conceptual structure spanning between two extremities defined as 'wild animals' or 'gods'. Within this context he reflects on the social function of politics, which in its capacity as an ideological...

Invisible and Visible Technology. The Anatomist, the Corps and the Public

J. Simon

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 1(272) > 25-39

Gunther von Hagens's popular 'Body Worlds' exhibition has raised a number of issues concerning not only the ethics of presenting real human cadavers in public spaces, but also the question of whether the work of anatomical preparations is art or science. The author compares the work of this modern anatomist with that of his eighteenth-century forebear, Honoré Fragonard. While both anatomists share...

Harmonia mundi. Several reflections on the Imagery of Stanislaw Fijalkowski

A. Melbechowska-Luty

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 1(272) > 100-109

The retrospective exhibition of paintings, drawings and graphic art by Stanislaw Fijalkowski, held in 2003 in Poznan, Wroclaw and Warsaw, brought the public closer to the oeuvre of this acclaimed author, already regarded as a classic of contemporary art. Fijalkowski, born in w 1922, studied at the State Art Academy in Lódz in 1946-1951 under L. Tyrowicz, S. Wegner and W. Strzeminski, his master. Influenced...

The Travelling Ethnologist. Triste Arctique in a shamanic costume, under a festival masque

J. S. Wasilewski

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 2(273) > 5-14

The everyday life of the Eveny, a group of reindeer herders of Yakutia (Siberia) is split or dissociated in several ways. The male herders, migrating continuously in the taiga, are separated from their settled-down womenfolk, which results in a basic discontinuity in the transmission of culture. With the post-soviet economic collapse animal husbandry lost its meaning. The purpose of the reindeer herders...

The Text of the Image

A. Kos

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 2(273) > 149-153

Although the perception of the photograph as a 'mirror of reality' is universal, it cannot be upheld. The process of noticing the complexity of relations between language and reality is by no means a new discovery. Already at the very outset of photography there appeared theoretical opinions indicating that it faithfully registers only the physical world while the remaining meaning is created by a...

The Director's Intentions. A Record of Assumptions

A. Sawicka

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 2(273) > 121-127

This text is a 'record' of assumptions about the intentions motivating Krzysztof Kieslowski and the opinions which this director could have voiced in a discussion on 'The eye, the view, representation. The image in culture'. All the questions and answers come from the authoress of the article. The basic point of reference is a series of TV films made in 1988/1989 under the joint title of 'Decalogue'...

The 'Animation' of the Image as a Method of Creating a Theatrical Work

M. Rozanski

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 2(273) > 136-140

The text focuses on the possibility of 'animating' an already completed work of art which serves as a theme and source of inspiration in the process of creating another artwork. The author cites the example of the efforts pursued by the 'Gardzienice' company while referring to ancient Greek vase painting, primarily the Francois Vase, as well as iconographic themes relating to the Greek Cabiri mysteries.

Greenaway á la 'Greenaway' - or an Englishman's Creative UNIVERSE in a Nutshell

A. Hirszfeld

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 2(273) > 141-148

It is a cursory survey of the wide spectre of films by Peter Greenaway from the perspective of innumerable webs composed of events, symbols and figures. The whole Greenaway oeuvre, his collages - the reference to earlier and later works, the creation of imagery and installations or theatrical-opera spectacles which supplement his cinematic pursuits - enable the spectator to enter premises full of...

article

Clouds

D. Kosinski

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 2(273) > 60-64

Essay 'Clouds' is author's reflection after performance 'After the Birds' (Theatre Association Chorea in cooperation with Earthfall Dance). The author situates the performance in the context of the contemporary theatre and music phenomena in Poland, inspired by the culture of Antiquity. He develops his iterpretation in relation to the text of Aristophanes 'The Birds', which was the pretext for the...

'The Black Square' by Kasimir Malevich

M. Sutryk

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 2(273)

The author attempts to define the role played by the form of the square in the suprematist painting by Kasimir Malevich. This was the form which in the artist's oeuvre acted as a point of departure and a goal, by designating the beginning or signalizing the end. Furthermore, the form in question encloses all the suprematist accomplishments of the painter. The article tries to decipher the form of...

A Few Thoughts on the Training

E. Rojek

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 2(273) > 81-84

The authoress analyses the emergent form of training that has been the result of many years of her work on Ancient Greek dance 'reading' the movement from the paintings on ancient vases, relieves and other iconographic sources. She also writes about other inspirations: film, diverse form of dance, literature, and gives an example how a piece of text was made into a piece of movement. She places her...

Painting of the Pre-Raphaelites, or the Composition Which Can Be Itself

B. J. Obidzinska

Konteksty - Polska Sztuka Ludowa > 2006 > 60 > 2(273) > 114-120

In order to fulfill the function of depicting something else than itself, the painting must leave the centre of attention. It is this act of departure that art wishes to avoid. Successive attempts at rendering the representing-represented dichotomy whole proved to be ineffective - abstraction resigns from the represented, illusionism - from the representing, academic realism transforms the represented...
