A festival celebration of Polish Culture, Art and the Avant-Garde Call for Papers and Contributions to Witkacy 2009 Commemorating the life and work of: Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz (1885-1939) including a Conference on: Witkacy as a Social and Political Visionary Thursday and Friday 17th -18th September 2009 The Fyvie Hall at the Regent Street Building of The University of Westminster London W1 2 UW Dramatist, poet, novelist, painter, photographer, art theorist and philosopher, Witkacy was one of the leading members of Poland’s poetic and artistic avant-garde movement of the first half of the 20th century. Following his death in 1939, his work was to change the course of both Polish and European history. Witkacy’s own philosophy of art, existence and knowledge, is best summarised by the phrase: Unity in Multiplicity This, the first British conference about Witkacy, is created to celebrate the new contribution made to
British society by the Polish community. Held at the University of Westminster, inextricably linked throughout its history with the tradition of democracy, the broader event and the conference now seeks your contribution – papers, performance pieces or art works, which celebrate any aspect of the extraordinary varied achievement of a Modernist artist scarcely known outside his home country. Papers and pieces in languages other than English will be considered, though preference will be given to work which can be made available to the widest possible audience.
