ORIGINAL – COPY – REPETITION

Meeting No 1
May 15, 11 a.m.
How does art of the 20th and 21st centuries understand such terms as “original” and “copy” – especially as far as photography is concerned? How did the arrival of reproduction to the realm of art change the ways in which art is defined and evaluated? The two questions, as well as some others, will be posed during the first lecture of the series. Special attention will be paid to selected strategies of “copying” which are present in all types of artistic activity. Moreover, a reproductive quality of visual messages indicated by the artists themselves will be thoroughly investigated
The lecture and discussion will be followed by a guided exhibition tour.

Meeting No 2
May 22, 11 a.m.
Repetition is an important strategy in Magritte’s painting. Not only is a given motif (be it a pipe or an apple) multiplied, but the work itself is subjected to a process of duplication. It is widely known that Magritte often produced replicas of his paintings. However, in Magritte’s oeuvre, repetition also operated at a different level. It was powerfully present when the artist investigated mutual relations between paintings and language by means of juxtaposing textual and visual signs.
The lecture will offer an attempt to look at Magritte’s Surrealism from the combined points of view of linguistics as well as Freudian psychoanalysis.

Meeting No 3
May 29, 11 a.m.
Surrealism is widely known as the movement which originated and flourished in Paris. However, it also developed in other European, and, following the end of the Second World War, non-European cities. As early as in 1925 the Belgian artists established a new group of surrealists – independent of Paris and its influences. They were joined by, among others, one René Magritte. In the 1930s Prague became an important centre of European Surrealism.
The lecture will offer a overview of the achievements by surrealist artists associated with, other than Paris, European centres of the movement. Special attention will be paid to the photography-related activities of the artists. An important point of reference will be provided by the photographs by Magritte displayed at the International Cultural Centre Gallery.
The lecture will be followed by a practical component. The participants will be invited to a discussion on René Magritte’s photographs and their links with the specimens of European surrealist photography shared with the audience during the formal lecture.
