With an exhibition opening on 11 August, Index launches a six-month project dedicated to the pedagogy of Open Form, created by Oskar Hansen (1922-2005). Hansen was a Polish visionary architect, artist and urban theorist. Informed by theoretical concepts deriving from architecture, Hansen’s teaching enriched art education with issues of processuality and interaction. His work became an important reference point for visual artists who treated their practice as a form of social experimentation. The exhibition will present original materials by the architect and his collaborators, including some of his didactical apparatuses — devices used to teach basic rules of composition and to exercise perception — and film documentation of “open-air exercises” developed in the 1970s. In the next months, the project will be further developed with student groups from the Royal Institute of Art / KKH and Konstfack and within Index’ pedagogical program. The project will culminate in an international conference in November 2015.
The project is co-curated with Aleksandra Kędziorek.
With kind support by the Polish Institute in Stockholm, the Polish Presidency in the Council of Baltic Sea States, the Adam Mickiewicz Institute and the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.
