<\/strong><\/p>\n

The source and symbolic beginning of the exhibition and its title are to be traced to the works of Anna \u015awirszczy\u0144ska (1909-1984) \u2013 a poet, journalist, playwright and prose writer. The poet believed in \u201cchange for the better\u201d and liked to stand on her head in an attempt at giving expression to her \u201cfemale rebellion.\u201d She longed to be united with plants, animals, elements, and her own femininity. \u015awirszczy\u0144ska\u2019s poems are records of the feelings of overflow and surplus \u2013 \u201csongs of excess.\u201d They speak of pushing boundaries, of experiencing the self as the lightest of beings while at once gigantic and uncountable. She wrote: \u201cI ooze, I spread, I fan out, I am explosion, I gush, I jump out of my skin, I mushroom.\u201d The excess thus communicated suggests indeterminacy and complexity that, although ungraspable, can be shared at will.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stories composed by the artists take place at the intersection of literature and art. The visual and audio narratives revolve around power and the absurdity of existence, sensual choices and vulnerability, around language, its energy and feebleness, around overflow and the motion that \u201csparks a revolution by bringing gladness, causing surprise and achieving liberation.\u201d The show has been moulded through such processes as combining, entwining, striking chords, assembling various emotions and states, and the crossing of time and history, of the imagined and the real.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Put on view are artworks that owe their inspiration to the poet\u2019s work and biography. They also reference the eponymous \u201cexcess,\u201d a phenomenon whose relevance extends as far as contemporary culture. The field of references provided by the exhibition is consistent with the multidimensional and assamblage-type character of the displayed pieces. They have managed to create a layout that is both dynamic and, paradoxically, coherent.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two radio broadcasts: El\u017cbieta Konieczna\u2019s Spotkanie z Ann\u0105 \u015awirszczy\u0144sk\u0105 [Meeting with Anna \u015awirszczy\u0144ska] (1983) and Anna Balicka\u2019s Z Krupniczej na Parnas [From Krupnicza Street to Parnassus] (1984) constitute the prologue to the exhibition. Both were produced by the Krak\u00f3w Section of the Polish Radio. The poet\u2019s connection with the radio provided an impulse for strong emphasis to be put on sound which is present at the show in the form of installations and audio plays.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The excessiveness of the exhibition allows room for symbolic recollection of the postwar history of the building in 34\/35 Szeroka Street. Caf\u00e9 Marysie\u0144ka that was once located at this address surely witnessed an excess of encounters, stories, sounds and scents. We have done our best to recreate their atmosphere and significance as a relational area in the dynamics and rhythm of the exhibition.\u2003<\/p>
