Drawing of a Stool, 1974 Foksal Gallery, Warszawa

Drawings of Lines, Galeria Foksal, Warszawa, 1975
Drawings are placed on the walls and in the corners of the room.
The drawings in the corners are the initial phase.
The drawings with two lines meeting in the corner are able to perform
a didactic function.
The drawings on the walls of the single lines—horizontal, slanted and vertical—
are the most important.
The drawings are not illusion of any objects whatever; neither are they able to
describe shapes.
While earlier drawings were concerned with illusion in the sense that it was their
aim to bring it out, the problem has been cut from the present ones.
The drawings are not illusion of objects, but they come to be concrete visual
objects themselves, i.e., the lines.
The drawings-lines are concrete irrespective of how they have been made,
seen, associated or inquired into.Krzysztof Wodiczko
Two Red-and-Blue Drawings
and Three Black Drawings on
the Walls, Ceiling and Corners
of the Gallery Akumulatory 2 Gallery, Poznań, 1976
The drawings are placed in the corners, on the walls and on the ceiling.
The drawings in the corners are the initial phase whereas the drawing of the
blue-and-red lines is different and can have a didactic function.
The drawings of single lines—horizontal, diagonal and vertical—are of decisive
signifi cance here.
The drawings are not an illusion of any objects, nor are they able to
describe shapes. Whereas the earlier drawings (e.g., the Drawing of a Taboret) concerned illusion insofar that they were meant to abstract it, here the problem has been removed. The drawings are not an illusion of objects but are concretized as visual objects themselves.
The concreteness of these drawings exists irrespective of how they are made.
The viewing of the drawings is reduced to freely studying them, without
psychological or optical investigations and without searching for applications.
