Spolia (about Images on/in Images)

Summary/Abstract: A presentation of discussions accompanying compositions by the Chapman Brothers “supplementing” valuable and unique works of art. The activity of the Chapman Brothers is often accused of “vandalism”, “profanation” or “maiming” works of art. The artists opted for the term: rectifying. Roma Sendyka discussed the “maiming” or correcting of artworks as a serious creative and interpretation-oriented tactic, one of the important artistic gestures of twentieth-century art. Upon the example of a transformed series of works by Goya or the composition by Edward Dwurnik from 2009, created by combining an original Dwurnik composition with a painting by another artist, Bartek Materka, the article, using the category of spoliation, discusses complicated inter-discursive strategies of creating inter-image relations.
