  • Franciszka Themerson Lines and Thoughts Paintings, Drawings, Calligrammes
    ! 44a Charlotte Road, London, EC2A 3PD Franciszka Themerson Lines and Thoughts paintings, drawings, calligrammes 4 November - 16 December 2016 ____________________ Private View: 3 November 6.30 - 8.30 pm Calligramme XXIII (‘fossil’),1961 (?), Black, gold and red paint on paper, 52 x 63.5cm, © Themerson Estate, courtesy of l’étrangère. " It seemed to me that the interrelation between these two sides: order in nature on the one side, and the human condition on the other, was the undefinable drama to be grasped, dealt with and communicated by me. - Franciszka Themerson, Bi-abstract Pictures, 1957 l’étrangère is delighted to present a solo exhibition of paintings, drawings and calligrammes by Franciszka Themerson - a seminal figure in the Polish pre-war avant-garde. She developed her unique pictorial language during the shifting years of pre- and post-war Europe, having settled in Britain in 1943. Together with her husband, writer, poet and filmmaker, Stefan Themerson, she was involved with experimental film and avant-garde publishing. Her personal domain, however, focused on painting, drawing, theatre sets and costume design. This exhibition brings together Franciszka’s three paintings completed in 1972 and a selection of drawings, dated from 1955 to 1986, which demonstrate the breadth of her work. ! The paintings: Piétons Apocalypse, A Person I Know and Coil Totem, act as anchors in the exhibition, while the drawings demonstrate the variety of motifs recurring throughout her work. The act of drawing and the key role of the line remain a constant throughout her practice. The images are characterised by a fluidity of line, rhythmic composition and the humorous depiction of everyday life.

His wife Alicja (1905–1993) was a translator of Russian literature, theatre critic, and columnist, also participating in film script writing. Towards the end of her life, she wrote a children’s book. Following her husband’s death, she took care of his manuscript collection, preparing previously unedited texts2 for publication and making their home archive available to literary researchers interested in Stern’s writing. Stefan Themerson (1910–1988) was a novelist, poet, essayist, philoso- pher, author of children’s literature, and composer; together with his wife Franciszka (1907–1988), he made experimental short films in interwar 4 Vol. 2016 Libraries Polish 1 Cf. i.a.

Dubbed the ‘Father of Video Art’, Paik created videos, sculptures, installations, performances and television productions and was part of the experimental group Fluxus along with composer John Cage and artist George Maciunas, among others. Internet Dream consists of a video-wall of 52 monitors that form a large unified shifting collage of electronically processed images, originally commissioned by the German television broadcaster RTL for its Cologne headquarters. Paik believed that the medium of television could elicit viewer participation, as well as foster intercultural understanding. The work’s title demonstrates Paik’s interest in what was then the relatively new medium of the Internet and the possibilities it offered. The title of this exhibition, Electronic Superhighway, is borrowed from a term Paik coined in relation to the potential of telecommunication systems in 1974. 3 Jill Magid (b. 1973, Bridgeport, CT, USA) Surveillance Shoe 2000 Video 6 mins.

I8 Black River balls, WI 54615 "Watch Out for Obscure Publications" FRAGMENTS FROM translated by Barbara Wright drawings by Franciszka Themerson Obscure Publications 2001 c PETIT NEGRE ECRIRE PETIT POEME I am a poor child abandoned by the Muses. They’ve gone up the marble staircase, the cloud-staircase, and they’ve climbed higher towards On High, while I’ve been left down here, all alone. It’s true, the Heavens begin where the earth stops being hard and palpable, they start a quarter of a millimeter above the pavements and the grass. Yes, I I too am immersed in the Ocean of the Heavens, but I move through it as the crab movesJhrough the sea-with its claws. It’s because my soles and heels are stuck in the bed of the Ocean of the Heavens that I’ve been left down here, where I was born. Why did you lose patience, oh my Muses, why did you flee, why didn’t you wait until the end of the war? I’ve been left all alone with my pencil and a glass gf wine-so much has happened around me in thirty long years that I can neither remember it, nor draw any conclusions, nor find any common denominator.
