Mariusz Tchorek – George Brecht. Portret podwójny, możliwy, nieprzypadkowy, konieczny
Mariusz Tchorek – George Brecht. A Double, Possible, Non-Accidental, and Necessary Portrait

Summary/Abstract: This text is conceived as a “non-symmetrical” image – with the author intending to take a closer look at the views and undertakings of Mariusz Tchorek via the prism of Brecht rather than to analyse the works of the American anti(artist) from the viewpoint of the writings of a Polish critic. The radical project of Brecht’s inter-medial oeuvre is delineated by the horizon of anti-Cagean aesthetics, which played an extremely important, albeit still insufficiently appreciated role in Tchorek’s thought during the 1960s. The significance of experimental music for Tchorek’s oeuvre becomes lucid when we juxtapose his texts and activity with musical projects exploring accidence and realised at the Foksal Gallery at the time when he was associated with it.
