We would like to invite to the Stanisława Dróżdż exhibition – BEGINNINGEND.
Pojęciokształty/Concept-shapes. Concrete poetry. Works from 1967-2007 /monograph exhibition/
Curator: Elżbieta Łubowicz
22.12.09 – 05.04.10
Gallery 2
The exhibition displays more than 40 works, beginning with the first concrete poetry works created in 1967 through the artist’s last work in 2007. The exhibition presents works which treat language as their basic material and those based on digits and numbers, as well as works making use of object-signs. It includes large, technically complex concepts, such as the renowned Between and Alea iacta est, a piece consisting of approximately 250,000 dice, depicting all of the possible 46,656 layouts of 6 cubes, which represented Poland at the 50th Venice Biennale (2003).
The exhibition’s title, początekoniec (beginningend), is both the title and fragment of one of Stanisław Dróżdż’s works. It points to the main source of his creativity – reflections on language and his fascination with the problem of space and time, the beginning and end of which elude us.
