Showing the Rhythm

Summary/Abstract: Katarzyna Fazan describes the Kantor/Schlemmer exhibition at the Cricoteka Center for the Documentation of the Art of Tadeusz Kantor (04/10/2016 – 15/01/2017). The author begins by presenting the difficult space of the Cricoteka, then moves on to point out the skillful arrangement of the exhibits, the attempts made by the architects and curators to enliven the space of the institution. Fazan analyzes the rhythm of the exhibition and the rhythmic flow of the space in terms of Schlemmer’s work and explorations. The exhibition’s first task, however, was to demonstrate the less than obvious relationship between Tadeusz Kantor and Oskar Schlemmer, both the similarities and the differences. The author opines that “what links these artists over the generations that divide them is the desire to translate their own experiences into art, to reorganize aesthetics and restore artistic expression, drifting into regions of the abstract and the corporeal.”
