Thesis
The Art of Being Together: Inside the Studio of Henryk Stażewski and Edward Krasiński
My PhD project is funded by the AHRC (LAHP) and supervised by Professor Briony Fer. It focuses on the studio of Henryk Stażewski and Edward Krasiński in order to pursue key problems in abstraction and conceptualism. Concentrating on the intergenerational dialogue between representatives of two avant-gardes, it interrogates the concepts of cohabitation and collaboration, posing wider questions regarding intersection and interruption in twentieth-century art.
