press release

This exhibition, which will be shown first of all in Ujadowski Castle, the Warsaw Contemporary Art Centre, takes a look at the “continuous” history of experimentation in cinema and art, and at the interaction between both of these fields. It covers the work of artists and film-makers from different cultural contexts and a range of generations.

Based on Poland’s abundant vanguard film production in the 1960s and 70s, 1, 2, 3 Avant-gardes will offer a selection from this cinematographic output, which is, by the way, material that has scarcely been shown previously in the Basque Country or in Spain. It will also include contemporary artistic offerings, video projections, sculptures, installations, photographs and other objects that, taken together, offer a challenging cocktail for the interpretation of the history of experimental cinema.

Participating artists:

The Polish film selection from the 1970s includes works by the following artists and producers: Akademia Ruchu, Antosz & Andzia, Kasimierz Bendkowski, Bogdan Dziworksi, Marcin Giżycki, Janusz Haka, Oskar Hansen, Tadeusz Junak, Jacques de Koning, Grzegorz Królikiewicz, Zofia Kulik, Paweł Kwiek, Przemysław Kwiek, Natalia LL, Jolanta Marcolla, Ewa Partum, Andrzej Pawłowski, Zygmunt Piotrowski, Józef Robakowski, Zbigniew Rybczyński, Zygmunt Rytka, Jadwiga Singer, Zdzisław Sosnowski, Mieczysław Szczuka, Michał Tarkowski, Teresa Tyszkiewicz, Ryszard Waśko, Jan Stanisław Wojciechowski and Krzysztof Zarębski.
