David Crowley. Making Exhibitions, Making Public. Curation and the Challenges of Exhibiting Eastern Europe under Communist Rule
Original language description
Reflecting on the themes of his current exhibition in the Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź in Poland on the life and art of Henryk Stażewski, David will consider the challenges of the biographical format on which so many exhibitions depend. Workshop will consider the way that long-lived avant-garde artists and architects, active in the 1920s, experienced the future that they had once imagined. Stefan Sebök and Marianne Brandt (both Bauhausler), Lajos Kassák (Hungary), Henryk Stażewski (Poland) and Konstantin Rozhdestvensky (USSR) feature. They were figures who remained in Eastern Europe and – with the exception of Sebök - survived Stalinism and Fascism to experience socialist modernity in the 1960s and 1970s. What was their place in the new worlds which formed after 1945? How did they use art and design to narrate their own histories, particularly concerning the trauma of authoritarian rule? And how might curators engage with these acts of what might be called autofiction?
