This survey of videos by pioneering Polish artist Wojciech Bruszewski (1947-2009) examines Bruszewski鈥檚 groundbreaking moving image experiments in perception. Alongside fellow 鈥榮tructural rebels鈥 active under the umbrella of the Workshop of the Film Form at the highly regarded Film School in L贸dz during the 1970s (including J贸zef Robakowski and Pawel Kwiek), Bruszewski鈥檚 investigations into various dimensions of reality and perception left a strong imprint on Polish experimental film in the decades to follow. This compact but comprehensive presentation of key works is curated by Lukasz Mojsak of , an initiative of theMuseum of Modern Art in Warsaw. The programme aims to bring the artist鈥檚 transcendental and all-embracing artistic approach to a London audience and to encourage critical and institutional recognition of these important works.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion about Bruszewski, his contemporaries and his exchange with British structural filmmakers.
