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. -

Anatol Stern and Stefan Themerson and Stefan Anatol Stern Janusz Lachowski ANATOL STERN AND STEFAN THEMERSON. ON EUROPA AND THE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO AVANT-GARDE ARTISTS ON THE BASIS OF THEIR MUTUAL CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE YEARS 1959–1968 Anatol Stern (1899–1968) was a poet, one of the founders of Polish futur- ism, a prose and drama writer, literary critic, essayist and author of memo- rial sketches1 as well as a prolific scriptwriter and film journalist of the Pol- ish interwar period. 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.

That Swedish critic that he once told us about, is in London. [i.e. Lars Gustav Hellstrom] He has a copy of Bayamus and has read it, and he very much wants to meet you. It seems that he wants to write about you, or to translate Bayamus into Swedish. Anyway, he is not a phoney, as Manning says, and he absolutely must see you. -

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.

Nieuwe reeks. Jaargang 1999 (nrs. 85-88) 5 [Nummer 1] Redactie Franciszka en Stefan Themerson Bij dit nummer De schrijver, uitgever en filmer Stefan Themerson (1910-1988) en zijn vrouw, de beeldend kunstenaar Franciszka Themerson (1907-1988), hebben een leven lang samengewerkt. Om te beginnen in Warschau, vervolgens in Parijs en ten slotte het langst in Londen. Daar deed de Tweede Wereldoorlog hen belanden en raakten ze bevriend met onder meer Kurt Schwitters en met Bertrand Russell. In het piepkleine fonds van de uitgeverij Gaberbocchus die ze in Londen begonnen, verscheen zowel hun eigen werk als dat van bijvoorbeeld Alfred Jarry en Raymond Queneau. Met Nederland hadden de Themersons een speciale band; S.T. sprak wel eens van ‘my adopted country’. Relatief veel van zijn werk is bij De Bezige Bij in vertaling verschenen. Een andere Amsterdamse uitgeverij, De Harmonie, zet - zo goed en zo kwaad als dat gaat - het Engelstalige fonds van Gaberbocchus voort. Het werk van de Themersons komt in dit nummer op diverse manieren aan de orde. Twee redacteuren namen een kijkje in het Themerson Archief in Londen. Daar vonden zij een schat aan materiaal. Zoals een briefwisseling met de filosoof Bertrand Russell, waaruit voor dit nummer een keuze is gemaakt en vertaald. -
