The artists are called ?media pioneers? in the show?s subtitle.
?Beginning in the early 1970s, both of them took on the challenges of the new media technologies in the arts ? first as experimental filmmakers and then in video. But their methods are highly varied: Rybczyński is a constructivist painter, illustrator, and designer ? an engineer of the new time-image-spaces that he creates. Bódy in contrast is a poet, linguist and semiotician ? a dramatist. Like no other of his contemporaries, he explored the quality of a new, private, intimate publicness that, for him, is found in connection with the medium of video, its modes of distribution and its perception,? according to literature for the show.
The exhibition is taking place within the framework of the project "CHANGE OF PERSPECTIVE" made possible by cooperation between the Polish Institute Berlin and Akademie der Künste.
