Franciszka Themerson, The way it walks, 1950, pen and ink on paper
IMPORT EXPORT is excited to be returning to Artissima fair with a solo presentation of works by Franciszka Themerson (1907-1988) as part of the curated section Back to the Future. The presentation is prepared in collaboration with Themerson Estate.
Curated by Heike Munder and Jacopo Crivelli Visconti, Back to the Future focuses on monographic exhibitions by pioneers of contemporary art who explored diverse methods and possibilities of communication between the 1940s and 1990s. Themes include language as a medium, cybernetics, human-machine interactions, and early media experiments, alongside critical reflections on the conditions and limitations of communication.
