Lyrics are the most precise tool to examine and measure oneself<\/em> – G\u00fcnter Grass used to say. It was lyrics that also inspired the two Noble Prize winners: Wis\u0142awa Szyborska and Herta M\u00fcller to create the exceptional collages, that are going to be displayed at the G\u00fcnter Grass\u2019 City Gallery.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

PRACOWNIA in Piwnica pod Baranami (Krak\u00f3w) was the first host to showcase the cut-outs by Wis\u0142awa Szymborska in February 2013. \u00a0It was one of the events commemorating the first anniversary of\u00a0 her death. In 2013 the exhibition travelled to Rome, Madrid, Nurnberg, K\u00f3rnik and Makau. In 2014 it will be shown in Krak\u00f3w, Sofia, Budapest, on Sardinia and in Gda\u0144sk. The display of Herta M\u00fcller\u2019s collages, which have so far only been known from their printed versions, will provide the first chance to see them in Poland.<\/p>\n

              Wis\u0142awa Szymborska<\/strong> (1923-2012) was one of the most superior and recognised Polish poets \u2013 her poems have been translated into over 40 languages , an winner of numerous prizes and honours, including most prominently: the Noble Prize for Literature (1996) and the Order of the White Eagle (2011). She was also a translator and author of amusing columns about books, a collector of old postcards, a lover of literary games, an author of collages and a mastermind of famous raffles, that abounded in peculiar oddities. She lived in Krak\u00f3w since 1931. Between 1945 and 1948 she studied Polish philology and sociology at the Jagiellonian University. In March 1945 she debuted with the poem Szukam s\u0142owa \/ Looking for a Word<\/em> published in a supplement to the \u00a0daily paper \u201cDziennik Polski\u201d. Between 1953 and 1981 she was on the staff of the Krak\u00f3w-based weekly \u201e\u017bycie Literackie\u201d \/\u201dLiterary Life\u201d where she ran the poetry department and her own column Lektury nadobowi\u0105zkowe\/Non-compulsory reading<\/em>; a collection of these essays has seen several \u00a0republications in book form.<\/p>\n

              \u00a0<\/p>\n

              Szymborska published 13 volumes of poetry: That\u2019s Why We Are Alive <\/em>(1952), Questioning Yourself\u00a0 <\/em>(1954), Calling Out to Yeti <\/em>(1957), Salt\u00a0 <\/em>(1962), No End of Fun <\/em>(1967), Could Have <\/em>(1972), A Large Number (<\/em>1976), People on the Bridge <\/em>(1986), The End and the Beginning <\/em>(1993, 1996), Moment <\/em>(2002), Colon <\/em>(2005), Here <\/em>(2009) and a posthumous, unfinished volume Enough <\/em>(2012). Szymborska also translated foreign poetry \u2013 mostly French and German \u2013 into Polish.<\/p>\n

              \u00a0<\/p>\n

              Collages are obviously pieces of art. They are also\u00a0 Wis\u0142awa Szymborska\u2019s signature. It\u2019s worth focusing on their crucial meaning, though: they are a trace of friendship and a call to it. <\/em><\/p>\n

              Herta M\u00fcller<\/strong> (1953 – ) was born in the German-speaking village of Ni\u021bchidorf in Romania. Between 1973 and 1976 she studied German and Romanian philology in Timisoara. Her first book Niederungen\/ Nadirs<\/em> was kept unpublished for 4 years before finally being issued in a radically modified form in 1982. In 1984 the book was published in Germany and after that Herta M\u00fcller was forbidden to publish in Romania and fell prey to constant questioning and threats from the Romanian secret police Securitate. In 1987 she moved to Germany and worked as a visiting professor at Universities in the UK, the USA, Germany and Switzerland. Her international recognition is confirmed by numerous translations into foreign languages, prizes and honours \u2013 with the Nobel Prize and the Gro\u00dfes Verdienstkreuz of the German Federal Republic in 2010 being the most prominent ones. So far the Carl Hanser publishing house has published: The King Bows and Kills<\/em> (2003), The Pale Gentlemen with their Espresso Cups (2005), The Land of Green Plums<\/em> (2007), Even Back Then, the Fox was a Hunter (2009), <\/em>Swinging Breath<\/em> (2009), The Appointment<\/em> (2009), Nadirs<\/em> (2010), Travelling on One Leg<\/em> (2010), Immer deselbe Shnee und immer deselbe Onkel (2011), Father is Calling the Flies (2012).<\/em><\/p>\n

              Working on a collage is sensual and resembles real life a lot: words meet by coincidence, the size of a sheet of paper limits the capacity of the content and once has been glued, it cannot be changed.<\/em><\/p>\n
