"Obrazowość" poetycka. Notatki o niektórych twórcach i przejawach

Author(s): Karol Maliszewski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 20/2016

Powyższe przykłady usiłują wypowiedzieć tę prawdę, że bardzo często w akcie kreacji, w owym procesie nowego spojrzenia wspomaga poetę malarz czy fotograf. Zamknięcie ułamka świata w kadrze czy ramach obrazu sprzyja poecie, wyzwalając intensywnie poszukiwane skupienie. Wyostrzenie poetyckiego wzroku szuka równie zaangażowanego w akcie rozpoznawania rzeczywistości, podobnie współpracującego, narzędzia, pędzla, piórka, rylca oraz innych aparatów artykulacji i ekspresji. Chciałem, aby wszystko, na co patrzę, zmieniło się w kompozycję, i zrozumiałem, że stan taki można osiągnąć - powiada taki poeta, intuicyjnie korzystając z udzielonej mu przez malarstwo lekcji widzenia.

"Po nas choćby potop"? Zachowanie sztuki naszych czasów

Author(s): Monika Jadzinska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 5/2011

This article outlines issues associated with the preservation and conservation of contemporary art and the role that documentation plays in this process. A contemporary artwork, in order to become an object of interest, analysis, purchase, collecting, exhibiting etc. must exist, and its existence must be preserved. Its preservation does not always mean, however, fixing the matter and halting the processes of deterioration such as in the case of traditional art, but it may adopt a totally different form, for example preservation in the form of documentation. The changeable character of ephemeral art, the use of perishable materials or ready-mades, as well as innovative concepts and techniques makes conservation a complex issue. An additional worrying factor is also often improperly conducted activities associated with exhibiting, transportation or storing of the artworks that cause a falsification of the artist’s concept and destruction of an artwork’s structure. The conservator must analyse, identify and preserve the matter in a professional way or, on the contrary, after an appropriate examination, act according to the artist’s intention, and treat it in a way that is adequate to the artwork’s character. This may involve the making of a replica, a reconstruction, an emulation, a re-enactment or preservation through documenting, or it may use entirely different possibilities of modern conservation. One must set a proper strategy of care and protection over the works of art and the proceedings must keep the authenticity of the artwork. The author of this article analyses the notion of authenticity and shows the change in understanding this concept, and the influence which this change had on the form and method of preserving artworks in the past, in contrast with contemporary visual art. She writes about the new role of an artwork’s matter and substance, and the challenges that result from it, and about the new role and relationship between a conservator, an artist and other “stakeholders”. She describes the threats to preservation and the aims and limits of preservation and conservation, pointing out the key role of documentation. She also pays attention to various forms of documentation by illustrating the article with comprehensive examples of good and bad practices associated with documenting contemporary artworks.

"Prawdziwe męstwo" – czyli o możliwościach lektury gatunku jako politycznego zwierciadła

Author(s): Ireneusz Skupien / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 93-94/2016

The article shows how the postmodern cinema uses the tradition of a genre in order to construct the discourse of contemporary America. The author hypothesized that “True Grit” by Coen brothers, a western entangled in a web of intertextual references (both literary as an adaptation of the novel by Ch. Portis and film based, as a remake of H. Hathaway’s film), has the potential of creating representations not based on text. The present article is a polemic against the most common research stand, which negates the possibility of generating by the postmodern aesthetic meanings beyond the text. The author defends the thesis that the film by Coen brothers is a text which lends itself well to interpretation as a reflection of social attitudes, anxieties and desires. The author also discusses the question of demythologization and polemics of the Western tradition and the matter of approaching the western as a source of historical meanings.

"Quo Vadis?" by Enrico Guazzoni and "Quo Vadis?" by Gabriellino D’Annunzio: Production – Dramaturgy – Reception

Author(s): Anna Miller-Klejsa / Language(s): English / Issue: 18/2017

The paper concentrates on two feature films based upon Henryk Sienkiewicz’s novel about ancient Rome – "Quo Vadis?" (dir. Enrico Guazzoni [1913]) and "Quo Vadis?" (dir. Gabriellino D’Annunzio, Georg Jacoby [1925]). Both films belong to the peplum genre, popular during the era of silent cinema. The paper reconstructs production circumstances of both films as well as their historical reception. It is argued that both films can be seen through the prism of socio-political contexts, including the colonial ambitions of the Italian state.

Education is a personal process in the infinite, it is the place where one can experiment, create new methods and technologies of teaching. One of the main accentuation is that universities are turning into laboratories, in which students study, make experiments and create art. Any modern university institution builds a local cultural centers, art galleries, creative areas and festivals in support of student creativity.

"Suszyć, skruszyć, zmielić, zważyć". Kino gatunków a filmy z Panem Kleksem

Author(s): Radoslaw Pisula / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 15/2016

Polish genre cinema in the time of Polish People’s Republic was in stagnation due to the sociopolitical situation. Limited access to the thriving foreign film industry suppressed a natural evolution within the genre cinema. However, the liberalization of stagnant and overly politicized rules in the communist film industry brought change in the 1980s.The government used to saw movies as a way to sell propaganda in the country. This cultural revolution was marked by the appearance of a new generation of directors, similar in some ways to American New Hollywood; rise of a VCR market and laxity of political restrictions.One of the best representatives of this progression is the Mr. Kleks movie trilogy. Adaptations of Jan Brzechwa’s cult book series: Academy of Mr. Kleks (1983), The Travels of Mr. Kleks (1985), Mr. Kleks in Space (1988). All of theme were directed by Krzysztof Gradowski. The series is a perfect example of a genre-melting pot. Something unprecedented in the Polish cinema.Although there are many radically different conventions in the story, the narrative is very coherent. The release of the first installment clearly marks the beginning of the transformation in the Polish film industry.In the article, I will present the ways in which the film genres are functioning in the Mr. Kleks movies and analyze how these highly original productions were part of a turbulent period of transformational change in communist Poland.

"Theoretical turn” in post-avant-garde art and the aesthetics of de-differentiation

Author(s): Iwona Lorenc / Language(s): English / Issue: 17/2015

In this article I use the term “theoretical turn” to refer to phenomena in contemporary art that incorporate theory into their body and mode of action. I understand this incorporation similarly to Arthur Danto, Robert Jauss and Scott Lash. Within the domain of aesthetics these developments are related to a new philosophical, conceptual framework, open to the changes taking place in contemporary culture (particularly its mediatisation and aestheticisation). This involves de-differentiation and the blurring of borders between the aesthetic and the non-aesthetic rather than the Kantian criteria of differentiation. It acknowledges the tendencies of late modernity (e.g. the avant-gardes) to autonomise the aesthetic and rewrites them as a temporary element of cultural transformations. The aesthetic no longer occupies a separate domain; it concedes the existence of borders, but at the same time, points to the processes in which they dissolve.

"Vidi coelum novum et terram novam". Treści ideowe i geneza form Kaplicy Matki Boskiej Karmelitańskiej we Frydmanie

Author(s): Maria Kazimiera Staniszewska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 17/2017

The paper deals with the chapel located by the parish church in Frydmanin the Spiš (Scepusium) region, founded by the local parish priest Michał Lorencs in 1764.The interior of the octagonal building, is fitted with a homogeneous set of furnishingsconsisting of a centrally located two-sided retable surmounted by a unique shrine inthe form of a glazed star, and numerous wooden sculptures decorating niches in the walls.The chapel used to be a pilgrimage site and became the founder’s resting place. The paperdiscusses the history of the chapel, the religious and political context of its foundation aswell as problems explored in earlier studies, both popular and scholarly ones, with specialattention devoted to the article by Jan Białostocki and Adam Miłobędzki, from 1957, thathas served as a crucial point of reference in the existing interpretations of the chapel.Further, the article attempts to elucidate the still unresolved problem of the origins of thechapel’s plan and forms of its retable, pointing to the traits they share with the sacred architectureof pilgrimage sites, particularly shrines. The Chapel of the Holy Shroud in Turin hasbeen suggested as the closest counterpart for the Frydman chapel as far as its architecturalplan, the retable type and the way of displaying relics are concerned. The soft, flowing linesof the a-tectonic forms of the retable, in turn, seem to resemble South-German small-scalearchitectural church furnishings from the mid-eighteenth century.As far as the message carried by the decoration of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Chapel isconcerned, selected Old- and New Testament figures, depicted in the retable and wall niches,have been identified, and particular themes represented in the above decoration have beendetermined. The first, sepulchral, theme is manifested in the unmarked burial site of FatherLorencs, located ad sanctos, in the immediate proximity of the relics of catacomb saints.The next, Carmelite, theme is related to the Scapular Confraternity that had been associatedwith the chapel and church. The paper discusses also the Marian symbolism of the chapel,already explored to some extent in earlier literature, and its prominent Christological andEucharistic themes, which have hitherto not been adequately examined. In conclusion, OurLady of Mount Carmel Chapel is considered as a symbolic representation of the HeavenlyJerusalem and a powerful profession of faith in the intercession of saints and the Virgin Marybefore God.
