Film portraits of the artists: Władysław Hasior

2016-01-19 / 19:00

On 19 January come and watch a film portrait of Władysław Hasior.

Polska Sztuka Współczesna [Polish Modern Art] (10’), dir. Konstanty Gordon, commentary: Jadwiga Jarnuszkiewiczowa, 1963

Hasior (45’), dir. Jerzy Passendorfer, 1982

Głos w dyskusji o tak zwanym konstruktywizmie [A voice in the discussion about the so-called constructivism] (16’), dir. Grzegorz Dubowski, wr. Anna Micińska, commentary: Władysław Hasior, 1971

The film night of Władysław Hasior consists of some lesser-known images of the artist and his art works made at different stages of his career. The first film regards the works of Hasior, Alina Szapocznikow and Tadeusz Sieklucki, and it is a fragment of a film series made by Konstanty Gordon. The film is also the first film footage about the artist, when, still a young creator, he displayed his works for the very first time in Zachęta. The other film is a documentary made for a German film studio by Jerzy Passendorf. It reveals a bit different, less adulatory picture of Hasior than the more known ones, fragments of which we will also watch during the screening. As well as that, it introduces less obvious aspects of Hasior’s art, including his projects in the Podhale plein-airs. That the film was released during the martial law in Poland gives some more piquancy to Hasior’s controversial image. Last but not least, A voice in the discussion about the so-called constructivism, seems exceptional for two reasons. Firstly, Hasior is the very author of the commentary in the film. At the same time it’s an explication of his understanding of art, whose most important value is emotion generated by temperature, which in turn is constructed with form. Secondly, it is a film version of his photographic Notebooks, the least known work consisting of app. 20 000 slides and amassed for 60 years until Hasior’s death in 1999. Historian, art critic, curator of two exhibitions of Władysław Hasior (Photographic Notebooks, Only the moon left after the sky, 2015), Ewa Tatar will give a talk about the screening.

Admission free

The event is a part of a programme accompanying the exhibition “Zbigniew Libera: It’s not my fault that this sculpture rubbed againts me”.
