"HOMMAGE À HENRYK STAŻEWSKI, CABANE ÉCLATÉE AVEC TISSU BLANC ET NOIR, TRAVAIL SITUÉ, 1985-2009"
A permanent exhibition in the Art Museum In ŁódźPreview: 6pm. April 28, 2009
more...Starting from April 28, 2009 the Art Museum in Łódź presents "Hommage à Henryk Stażewski, Cabane éclatée avec tissu blanc et noir, travail situé, 1985-2009", a project prepared in cooperation with, and with financial support from the Signum Foundation. It is now available as a permanent exhibition.
The installation is a repeat of the events which took place during the exhibition entitled "Dialogue" in Moderna Museet in Stocholm in 1985 and the exhibition of works by Stażewski in the Polish Institute of Culture in Paris in 1997, which involved the situational dialogue created by two artists, Henryk Stażewski and Daniel Buren. The exhibition "Dialogue" in 1985 presented the works of 8 Polish artists and their quests with the idea that all the works exhibited enter into a dialogue indicated in the title. It was then that Daniel Buren invited by Henryk Stażewski presented his Cabane éclatée nr 9, which was at the same time used as the exhibition space for Stażewski's paintings. Buren based the structural framework of each wall of the installation on the principle of the modular net consisting of 24 squares arranged 4:6 making in this way a clear reference to the principle followed by Stażewski in many of his reliefs , especially those from the so called series of coloured squares. Ten years after Stażewski's death when the Polish Institute of Culture in Paris prepared an exhibition of his works from the years 1958-1987 (which came from many different collections including those from the Łódź Art Museum) Daniel Buren paid homage to Stażewski by making a new Cabane éclatée in black and white stripes. The idea that the installation should find a permanent exhibition site in the collection of the Art Museum in Łódź was then conceived. However, putting this idea into practice became possible only now. Cabane éclatée dedicated by Daniel Buren to Stażewski presenting the space for a dialogue between artists will become installed in the Łódź Art Museum next to the Neo-visual-art Hall – the space which Władysław Strzemiński dedicated to other great avant-garde artists.
