THE ABC OF SCULPTURE – vwzż
14 February – 3 April 2015
Museum of Contemporary Sculpture
Curator: Anna Podsiadły
In 2007 the Centre of Polish Sculpture initiated an educational project “The ABC of Sculpture”. Until now there have been seven editions of this projects. Now we are presenting its final – eighth part. Successive presentations of “The ABC” aim at introducing to the viewers the world of achievements over the centuries of sculpture development. The exhibitions from this series are addressed mainly to young people interested in art, who can revise their knowledge of old and modern sculpture within one gallery space. The current exposition, similarly to the previous from the series, uses a narrative method of presentation of terms from the area of history of art referring to sculpture and sculpture-related activities.
The eighth stage of Orońsko’s ABC of sculpture focuses around the following letters of the Polish alphabet: ZWZŻ and art terms (tendencies, motifs, materials): veils of Veronica, video art, Venus, verismo, exhibition, collection, gold, deposition from the cross, resurrection, zoomorphic presentation, annunciation, iron, living sculpture, resin. Within particular sections of the gallery there spins a story built of sculptures, objects and a written commentary accompanying them, photograms of outstanding works as well as multimedia material. The art terms are illustrated by works selected from the Centre’s own collection and works on loan by courtesy of Artists as well as of Tomasz Tworek and the New Space of Art Foundation from Kielce.
