Available for the hearing impaired Available for the visually impaired Available for the physically impaired

This exhibition of the work of Julian Antoniszczak (Antonisz), prepared by the National Museum in Kracow and the Zachęta National Gallery of Art, was the first comprehensive presentation of its kind, covering all areas of the work of Julian Joseph Antoniszczak (Antonisz) — co-founder of the legendary Studio of Animated Films in Cracow, experimental animator, designer, musician and inventor.

In addition to presenting a rich heritage of film, the show was focuse on exhibiting the no-less-fascinating workshop of the artist. The starting point is an archive containing the diaries and ‘ideactionaries’ (collections of notes, ‘golden thoughts’, newspaper clippings and designs accumulated and sorted out over several decades).

An important part of the exhibition comprised mechanical devices designed by Antonisz according to his original ideas for cameraless experiments made directly onto film. Unusual machines — pantographs, sound gadgets, animographs, sonographs — enclosed in suitcase-like boxes gave the artist the opportunity for individual creative work independent of institutions and bureaucracies.

Unusual tools and everyday objects designed by Antonisz, as well as certain elements of a unique ‘interior design’, also ‘handmade’ by the artist, create a special workshop-laboratory atmosphere for this exhibit, an ambience in which — as Antonisz put it — technology became an art form in itself.

The exhibition was accompanied by the first publication to summarise all aspects of Julian Antonisz’s work.
