The initial shots of the film were presented in the Regional Museum Leon Wyczółkowski in Bydgoszcz in so called “Cinema”, one of the three parts of the arrangement of the exhibition, next to the “Street” and the “Café”, inspired by the atmosphere of the artistic centres of the 1920s.
Next to the “Cinema” is to be seen the presentation of the artistic book Refleks / Relfex (2014) and the drawing by Jacek Szewczyk Alley without work (1999), part of the presentation Ich 7 / The 7 of them (They 7)

Początkowe sceny filmu zaprezentowane zostały w Muzeum Okręgowym im. Leona Wyczółkowskiego w Bydgoszczy, w części ekspozycji zatytułowanej „Kino“, która – podobnie jak pozostałe części aranżacji, czyli „Ulica“ i „Kawiarnia“ – zainspirowane były atmosferą centrów artystycznych dwudziestolecia międzywojennego.
Obok „Kina” widoczna prezentacja książki artystycznej Refleks (2015) oraz rysunek Jacka Szewczyka Aleja bez pracy (1999), część prezentacji Ich 7.

2 BUNT Dresden-vernis2a

In Dresden Kraszewski Museum the movie was presented already during the press conference and the opening, in one of the exhibition rooms. It allowed the visitors to imagine the parallellity of the different moments of the exhibition tour – the signing of the donation contract in Berlin by Professor Kubicki, the vernissage of the first station of the exhibition in Nationalmuseum in Poznan and the vernissage of the Ulotka / Flyer project in squat Od-Zysk as well as the presentation at the second station of the exhibition in Bydgoszcz.

W Muzeum im Józefa Ignacego Kraszewskiego w Dreźnie film prezentowany był w jednej z sal wystawowych i to już w trakcie konferencji prasowej i wernisażu, co wśród zwiedzających budzić mogło wrażenie paralelności różnych momentów tournée wystawy donacyjnej – począwszy od podpisania umowy donacyjnej przez prof. Kubickiego w Berlinie, otwarcia pierwszej odsłony w Muzeum Narodowym w Poznaniu oraz premiery projektu Ulotka na sqacie Od-Zysk, a także pokazu podczas na drugiej stacji wystawy – w Bydgoszczy.

2 Bunt Transborder Avant Garde

Arrangement with the posters of the first “Bunt” exhibition in Poznań in 1918 and the last one, in Berlin, 1922

The Wrocław edition of the exhibition Bunt – Expressionism – Transborder Avant-Garde. Artpieces from the Berlin Collection of Prof. Stanisław Karol Kubicki is a closing event of the touring display of donated art which includes exhibitions in essential pre-war centers of expressionism and the development of graphic arts. So far it has been shown in Poznań, Bydgoszcz and Dresden. It was organized to honour the donation received by the Leon Wyczółkowski Regional Museum in Bydgoszcz and the National Museum in Poznań from Professor Stanisław Karol Kubicki, son of the Polish-German avant-garde artists Margarete and Stanisław Kubicki.

About these tourning exhibition we already have written here, here, here, here, here and at many other places – just look in the index or searching.

The exhibition finale on 12 December 2015 will be connected with the aid of four bilingual publications accompanying the exhibition, among them the book by the curator, Lidia Głuchowska, Stanisław Kubicki – in transitu. Poeta tłumaczy sam siebie / Ein Poet überestzt sich selbst, and the premiere screening of a documentary-artistic film Bunt – Re-visions showing the entire tournée.

3 Bunt printsExhibition ”Bunt” – Expressionism – Transborder Avant-garde: prints of the group “Bunt”

The core of the exhibition consists of prints, drawings and pastels created by members of the artistic association from Poznań known as Bunt (“Revolt”), focused around the Poznań magazine Zdrój (1917-1922).

Margarete and Stanisław Kubicki, the co-founders of the group, began its cooperation with Polish and foreign galleries as well as such magazines as Die Aktion and Der Sturm from Berlin. The exhibit also includes works by other members of the group: Jerzy Hulewicz, Władysław Skotarek, Stefan Szmaj, Jan Jerzy Wroniecki and Jan Panieński. Proceeding the donation, the prints and drawings had remained abroad since the “Bunt” exhibitions in Berlin (1918-1922).

4 Bunt Szmaj

Linocuts by Stefan Szmaj

In Wroclaw it should be especially mentioned, that the first expressionist linocuts of the “Bunt” circle, among them The Tower of Babel from the poster of its first exhibition, were created by Stanisław Kubicki in Schömberg/ Chełmsko Śląskie, Silesia.

5 Kubicki Silesia linocuts

The Silesian linocuts by Stanisław Kubicki, among them The Tower of Babel

Logo of the exhibition is the linocut by Andrzej Bobrowski Transformation M/S. Just as the artists of the “Bunt” never create a group portrait, Margaret and Stanisław Kubicki never did a portrait of themselves as a couple.

2 BUNT Bobrowski A, Transformation M_S project, 2015a jpgThe linocut by Andrzej Bobrowski Transformation M/S [Transformation M(argarete)/ S(tanisław)] refers to the self-portrait of Margarete Kubicka from 1917 and the Self-portrait IV of her husband which was not preserved but is only known from the publications of Zdrój and Die Aktion magazines in 1918. This contemporary work of graphic art of a hybrid and panoramic composition in a form that refers to the banner is a reflection on the creative and personal relationship of the Kubickis. It is also a reflection on the passing of time and the details of artistic biographies receding in group memory, but also on group identity and the lack of integrity of an artifact in the epoch of its technical reproduction.

7 Bunt Flyer i PryenikaniePart of the presentation Flyer: print by Małgorzata EtBER Warlikowska and the installation Interference – Re-Integration by Karolina Ludwiczak and Marcin Stachowiak

The exhibition of these works created towards the end of World War I and shortly after is accompanied by the contemporary artistic projects: Refleks [Reflex, 2014-2015], Ulotka [Flyer] and Ich 7 [They 7, 2015], inspired by the art and ideology of “Bunt” and created by contemporary graphic artists from Poznań and Wrocław and a sculptor, Małgorzata Kopczyńska. The latter’s participation is a symbolic allusion to August Zamoyski, who was also a sculptor and a member of the Expressionist group from Poznań. In addition to works on paper, sculptures and documentary photography, the exhibition includes artistic films and a monumental glass installation Przenikanie [Interference – Re-Integration, 2015].

The contemporary artistic presentations demonstrate the stylistic and ideological influence of “Bunt” on the works of present-day artists, especially to its idea of critical art, and constitute a symbolic artistic response to the donation of works from Germany. Expressionist inspirations are particularly evident in the social involvement of the installations; the artworks unmask rigid conventions, instances of provincialism and xenophobia, combat the idealization of reality and the reinforcement of socio-political hypocrisy by the media as well as the limitations imposed on citizens by institutions.

The distribution of art through public media, a practice to which Reflex and Flyer also refer, was one of the typical modes of expression used by “Bunt” and other artists of the pre-war European avant-garde. The primary media used at that time were art books and political leaflets with informative and propaganda content. Distributed at rallies, they reinforced the message of artistic manifestos and supported the ideas of social and political emancipation.

The installation Przenikanie makes one understand the paradox related to the technique used to create it. The artifact made by Ludwiczak and Stachowiak is an example of a peculiar interdisciplinary game – the work they created is partly fine art and not a print on a flat screen. That way they also refer to the relief nature of linocut slabs out of which the Kubickis printed their images of themselves.

8 Bunt Ich 7

Presentation They 7: Prints by Jacek Szewczyk, Przemysław Tyszkiewicz and Agata Gertchen

The presentation They 7 concerns works of a larger format, programmatically and technologically inspired by “Bunt” traditions, executed by an informal group of seven artists. The works demonstrate the timelessness of avant-garde ideas and aesthetics as well as their potential for reinterpretation. The name of the project (containing the word ich, meaning “they” in Polish and “I” in German) echoes the bilingual name of “Bunt” (“Revolt”, “rebellion” in Polish, “colourful” in German), which reflected the supranational nature of Expressionist ideology.

9 Bunt Ich 7

 The scale of the objects of the presentation They 7 similar to the installation Przenikanie. Significantly larger than the ones from the time of the classic avant-garde, is supposed to epitomise for the viewers a change of status and the recipient paradigm. In the times of “Bunt”, graphic art was reproduced in magazines which were the main media of international artistic exchange. Today the art, which is often exhibited in large formats, has gained autonomy and dominated the contemporary iconosphere.

10 Bunt ich 7

Presentation They 7 corresponding with the architecture and life of Wroclaw. From left to the right: prints by Piotr Szurek and Przemysław Tyszkiewicz

The artists of “Bunt” in their operations considered both the national and transnational perspective, constructing our network of artistic contacts from amongst all the Polish artistic groups of that time.

There are not many documents of the international cooperation between the members of the group and other artistic associations, even though the pages of Zdrój [Source] magazine, co-created by “Bunt” artists, are proof of their relationships with creative communities not only in Germany, which is widely known, but also in France, Belgium, Italy, Russia, the Czech Republic, Iceland and even India.

11 Bunt Fotos

The impressive impact of the inter-partition and international exhibitions and publishing initiatives of these artists were also documented in their personal correspondence and some photos.

The photographic re-creation of one of the Expressionist linocuts printed in Zdrój (and Die Aktion), the Self-portrait of Stanisław Kubicki from 1918 shot by Berlin ex-Dadaist Raoul Hausmann, shows an expert use of light and shadow. Although Hausmann went on to inspire the camera masters of his time, none of them documented his meetings with Kazimierz Malewicz, the theoretician of Suprematism. The a bis z magazine is the only evidence of their discussions on the internal contradictions in proletarian art. A memento mori of the fascist period is formed from the photographs proving the existence of works condemned to erasure from official artistic life and the collective memory as part of the campaign to banish “degenerate art”. These include photographs documenting such avant-garde works as the sculptures Female torso by Otto Krischer or Mother and child by Pola Lindenfeld, destroyed by the SA and SS during searches conducted in the Berlin home of Margarete and Stanisław Kubicki.

9 Kubicki Pilsudski

Stanisław Kubicki, “In memoriam” (1935–1939) statue of Józef Piłsudski and the legionaries from the “Kobylepole group” who died in 1919–1920. The monument was located in the park of the palace of Count Stanisław Mycielski in Kobylepole, destroyed in the 1940s., postcard from the 1930s

Other photographs call back from oblivion the forgotten Eternal Remembrance memorial to Józef Piłsudski and his legions, erected in the suburbs of Poznań. It was the only commissioned work of Stanisław Kubicki showing classicist influences and a testament to the widespread cult of Marshal Piłsudski in 1934 in the face of the growing power of Soviet and fascist totalitarianism, but also the fascination of the Zdrój artistic community with the idea of Polish unification in the spirit of the Jagiellonian union, a concept dating back to the days of World War I.

The photographs provide a commentary on the history of transborder contacts and the patriotic fascinations of “Bunt” members. Despite their lack of objectivity and poor state of preservation, they clearly demonstrate the artists’ ambivalent attitude, fluctuating between approval of the “new Polish state” and enthusiasm for the utopian avant-garde idea of a “new international community”.

Reblog: Perfectionism

by Ewa Maria Blog

I found it on the Facebook some times ago. She is an author of famous Eat, pray, love, which I find lukewarm. But I really like what she writes here.

Elizabeth Gilbert

Dear Ones –

My friend Marie Forleo made this image for me, after I appeared the other day on her show, Marie TV, and we spoke about how perfectionism stops people from living their most joyful, curious, and expansive lives.

I meet so many creative souls who are not creating anything, because their perfectionism decided in advance that it would never be good enough…so why bother?

I know a brilliant and celebrated author who hasn’t been able to finish a book in nearly fifteen years, because her perfectionism refuses to allow her to release her own (always great) work.

But perfectionism doesn’t just ruin creativity. Perfectionism is a serial killer; it goes after all good things.

Perfectionism can ruin your marriage, your sex life, your friendships, your relationship with your family members, your relationship with your own poor beautiful tired human body, your relationship with the imperfect world in which we must live, and even your relationship with God. (Here’s what the perfectionist says to God: “You allow suffering and pain and injustice to exist, and therefore you are not perfect, and so you and I are DONE.”)

For me, I’m lucky enough not to suffer from perfectionism in my work (I’ve always described myself as “a discipined half-ass” which is how I’ve been able to write 7 books and let them go into the world, even though they are not perfect.) I’m very happy to let my creativity be messy, weird, exploritory, and unpredictable.

But I do suffer from perfectionism in terms of the standards to which I hold other people and myself. I have perfectionist tendancies in terms of BEHAVIOR. I expect people to be good and decent and self-accountable and reliable and kind and fair…and I expect this of myself, too. When people fail me, or when I fail myself (which is inevitable, for we are all human), I react with brittle anger, judgment, and condemnation. (In fact, I just had an episode of righteous indignation against someone this very week. And I lashed out.)

Which gets us nowhere.

I’m working on it, you guys. Because it’s taken me years to see how my perfectionism around behavior (toward others and toward myself) is a murderer of my own joy, and of my own humanity.

I would say, “I’ll try to do better”, but that sounds a bit perfectionistic, doesn’t it?

🙂

Let’s just say: I am learning how to let go of the perfect, in order to embrace the realistic, the beautiful, the messy, the true, and the good.

Because that just seems like a far, far, far happier way to live…

Blessings to you all, and ONWARD,
LG

Why? And what for?

Please!Look at it!

akismetSpam statistic for my blog in last 6 monthes

Everyday every blogger got from one to some hundreds spams. Since beginning till yesterday I got 45305 spam comments. Yellow is spam and green ham it means something I like and want have. If you are a reader, you do not see them. WordPress uses a special function (Akismet) to stop them with accuracy of 99,9%. They are not destroyed but send to a special pool, where you can see and decide, what you want to do with them. Sometimes they are short f.e. it is wonderfull blog! Or: I was looking since a long time for a good blog and I find you and I am very pleased. Or – buy Vuitton Bag for 20 €. Or even more: I love you. OK, I know it is spam, but I can understand the idea staying behind. Getting a love declaration or appreciating my doing I am pleased. And when I am pleased I click at the sender, to see who loves me… and then everything can happen. A trojan is possible or invitation tu buy viagra or oh oh indeed a great love. But that text…

What is that? Why? And what for? If you know, yeah, please write!

A Sumerian Hymn Written 3,400 Years Ago

In the early 1950s, archaeologists unearthed several clay tablets from the 14th century B.C.E.. Found, WFMU tells us, “in the ancient Syrian city of Ugarit,” these tablets “contained cuneiform signs in the hurrian language,” which turned out to be the oldest known piece of music ever discovered, a 3,400 year-old cult hymn. Anne Draffkorn Kilmer, professor of Assyriology at the University of California, produced the interpretation above in 1972. (She describes how she arrived at the musical notation— in some technical detail— in this interview.) Since her initial publications in the 60s on the ancient Sumerian tablets and the musical theory found within, other scholars of the ancient world have published their own versions.

The piece, writes Richard Fink in a 1988 Archeologia Musicalis article, confirms a theory that “the 7-note diatonic scale as well as harmony existed 3,400 years ago.” This, Fink tells us, “flies in the face of most musicologist’s views that ancient harmony was virtually non-existent (or even impossible) and the scale only about as old as the Ancient Greeks.” Kilmer’s colleague Richard Crocker claims that the discovery “revolutionized the whole concept of the origin of western music.” So, academic debates aside, what does the oldest song in the world sound like? Listen to a midi version below and hear it for yourself. Doubtless, the midi keyboard was not the Sumerians instrument of choice, but it suffices to give us a sense of this strange composition, though the rhythm of the piece is only a guess.

Kilmer and Crocker published an audio book on vinyl (now on CD) called Sounds From Silence in which they narrate information about ancient Near Eastern music, and, in an accompanying booklet, present photographs and translations of the tablets from which the song above comes. They also give listeners an interpretation the song, titled “A Hurrian Cult Song from Ancient Ugarit,” performed on a lyre, an instrument likely much closer to what the song’s first audiences heard. Unfortunately, for that version, you’ll have to make a purchase, but you can hear a different lyre interpretation of the song by Michael Levy below, as transcribed by its original discoverer Dr. Richard Dumbrill.

What a doll

When I was a kid, I had a pile of dolls, and I loved each and every one of them. I gave each of them names, biographies, and stories.

I’d even make them tiny meals! We went on adventures together. I was devastated if I lost one. I was heartbroken when one broke. Each of them was a very real friend to me as a kid.

Yet, for whatever reason, my mom insisted that I shouldn’t play with Barbie dolls, no matter how cool her dollhouse was. I didn’t quite understand why until I was older.

Dolls have always garnered much controversy. Their curvy, idealized bodies, overt makeup, and even skin tone can greatly affect the way young girls perceive themselves.

With such high expectations projected onto our daughters, how are they supposed to feel when they look in the mirror?

If dolls represent “pretty” but don’t represent or resemble the girls who play with them, what are they to believe about themselves?

Moms around the world often struggle with this predicament. They want their daughters to have awesome toys, but they certainly don’t want them to have self-esteem issues.

How do you provide a little girl with this traditional and sentimental gift without the potential of harming her sense of self?

The solution is difficult, but one mom is figuring out how to navigate the world of hyper-sexualized dolls and imagery.
