The composition, modeled and cast in acrylic resin, consists of a portrait figure of Konrad Swinarski, chairs with drapery concealing a message from the director\u2019s statements or, for example, from the epilogue of Liberation<\/em>\u2014formally developed in the form of an openwork lace of letters\u2014as well as several chair constructions symbolically concealing the message.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Konrad Swinarski thoroughly analyzed the texts of plays, uncovered their inner meanings, and was able to devote several hours to rehearsing a single line.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The elements of the composition refer to objects used by Swinarski as a stage designer, such as the bed in Liberation<\/em>. By recalling the custom of covering furniture with sheets (during a household\u2019s absence) and uncovering it for use, the sculpture becomes like a frozen frame of a theatrical performance, while the very gesture of removing the cover alludes to working with the text.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What is significant is the visible absence of seats in the chairs (\u201cthrones\u201d), emphasizing the importance of their construction, as well as the elongated legs placed on the steps of the stairs. The posture of the depicted figure of the Director is modeled after his well-known photographs, showing him in the gesture of bowing to the audience \u2014 a bow he practiced deliberately, as his wife recalled. Also characteristic is his favorite sweater \u2014 a turtleneck\u2014which provides a pretext for discovering rhythmic tensions in the folds, highlighting the expressiveness of the figure.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The whole piece was intended to be placed at the top of the stairs leading to the Cultural Center in Katowice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Center of Polish Sculpture in Oro\u0144sko co-finances the creation of sculptures in public spaces, which became the pretext for preparing, in 2024, a sculptural composition dedicated to Konrad Swinarski for the Katowice City of Gardens cultural institution. The project was not realized. In 2025, the prepared sculpture was to be part of an exhibition dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the director\u2019s death, organized within the framework of the Summer Theatre Garden by the Korez Theatre<\/a>. Due to a lack of funds, the exhibition will not take place. The sculpture of Konrad Swinarski was handed over to the Bogumi\u0142 Burzy\u0144ski Foundation for \u015aKiS and presented on the Foundation\u2019s website, as well as on Facebook and Instagram.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
