At the beginning of the lecture philosophy of modern art: the body, and what (who?) Still Thomas Kitliński invited to reflect on the essence of the body in contemporary art. As first presented the work of Helen Chadwick Self-portrait. The artist was one of the Young British Artists, a group of British artists working today in the 90s Twentieth century, died at the age of 44 years for heart disease. Self-portrait is a photograph of the author hand that holds the hands of the brain. This gesture brings to mind protectiveness and love to the held object. The oval shape means mourning. Doing This picture Chadwick had already destroyed their hands disease. Watching them has an irresistible impression that the last touch of his presence in this world, looking at humanity from the top - from a distance, yet tenderly. Undulating fabric nude colored background refers to the folds of the brain, as if that part of the hands barred fold, extracted from the sea of \u200b\u200bcarnality, matter, surrounded by identity, and soon had them back drop. Chadwick points to touch on different terms than the assertion of Jean-Paul Sartre. Sartre read every touch as sadomasochistic, feeling entangled in the world depending on where every gesture is a sign of the hierarchy. However, not all livestock perished in the jungle, Merleau-Ponty objects to this finding, as Julia Kristeva and Hélène Cixous, which combine a touch of tenderness and care. Finally, perhaps the only, allowing the government to get out of underdevelopment is a state of mind, calling create a relationship to reality. A touch, can there be only one of its kind?

Kitliński called union of body and soul, the mythological lovers Cupid and Psyche. We watched Gavin Hameltona vision, the neoclassical painter, the representation of a winged youth and nymphs. However, since the time of Sappho, this compound can be depicted by a same-sex couples, as in the photographs presented at the lecture Katherine Opie, who filmed against the pair of women's everyday life, underlining the closeness, the intimacy of the relationship. Where

discern the soul, if not in sight we presented the face of photography and Paulius Svajone Stanikas Asthma face - which we see suffering from asthma Svajone. Her eyes filled with the consciousness, the presence of the model, where it feels touch someone else's story. Wherever I see this face, it is for me synonymous with the definition of the soul, which seems to me to be exhaustive.
Project World War said the Lithuanian pair who lives in Paris, depicted in the 50th Venice Biennale revolves around strong emotions: aggression and sexuality, war and sex. I began to wonder whether the absolute survival instincts, Eros and Thanatos, could see his reflection in the flesh, Amor, over which the specter of death and pregnancy erotic life force Psyche. Death provokes eroticism, mortality of the species determines the need for reproduction, explains the force of death, violent, unbreakable bond of Cupid and Psyche.

During the lecture, there are the words of St.. Augustine: Well and closer than I did while paradox: I have become a question for himself . Something that seems so close to us, is both ontologically unexplored. The soul-butterfly, the breath is called the sense of structure by combining the body with the world - his speech will be responsible for his reactions, vitality. Examined by doctors and philosophers since time immemorial, doszukujących to its specific location. The subsequent formulation of Freud's mental apparatus also can not be reduced merely to the body. French philosopher and psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva argues that today's civilization is digested by the illness of the soul. Janion Mary posed the question - Do we know what we experienced, if not we'll find out what is the soul? Inseparability of body and soul expression highlights taken from Diderot: L'Âme au corps - soul in the body, which becomes the subject of discussion Claire'a Jean, a French art historian and essayist, director of many years Musée Picasso in Paris. This relationship can be studied by observing the person as part of the community, city dweller. Simon Pietrasiewicz, Lublin, cultural animator, in one of his actions portrayed St. Nicholas begging at the mall, this gesture is said to include a focus on the rejected by society, the crippled, the homeless. I have mixed feelings, this gesture might inspire indifference, need help. I can not resist the impression bankrupt myth, Claus as a symbol of generosity here takes the opposite face, although the goal is noble, for me this action is a symptom rather the end of poetry, than it embodies, calls for a response. Dreams often fade in the goblet of bitterness, if we have the right to look out for Santas, what we see?

search of the soul in a social context that makes the art may be a gesture of salvation, according to the French thinker Hélène Cixous. Kitliński brought two Hebrew expressions-tikkun-rescue, repair and restoration of meaning, transformation, very violent, deconstruction - a word taken from Heidegger to Abbau, used by Derrida, has been postponed as perestroika, to, apparently the satisfaction of the latter. Second-term tikkun olam - the responsibility for the world, deep justice.

are two different concepts of art, the art of thinking - by Hubert Damischa and Ernst van Alphen then and, according to Georges Didi-Huberman's art touches the skin. Author lecture considers it logical to combine these two observations. But I'm closer to the superiority of mind, perhaps the reactions of sensory information that comes to our mind are themselves outside the mind, are the only incentive. For me, these incentives are the language of thought, thought is probably not simply a reflection. But if the inner senses lead the conversation, guided by our bodies faster than our will, is yet another proof of that body and soul are one, are often a bundle of human-animal conflicts, where the unconscious can keep an animal like a word plucked from the leash. So consciousness, the unconscious, and even superconsciousness, participate in the transmission and reception of art, every aspect of the artist included in his creations, and we still try guessing how deep conduct a dialogue with them. Thomas
Kitliński repeats as Hannah Arendt and Julia Kristeva stresses that the art life, for Freud, that is sublimation, is opposed to the assertion Rosalind Krauss, for whom art after modernism that matter. Are also opposed to Clement Greenberg and Michael Fried, who can see the direction of modernism in the other direction, over the matter. Art has to be friendly to those who experienced it, the company has even celebrate it, cherish diversity consisting of a mixture of strangeness, the richness of culture.

Openness, sublimated, sublimation - I understand these concepts as gaining consciousness, which enables to produce more, it shows the way out, opens the gate. I feel that the more often called the art of the phenomenon of despair, disease of the soul is still absorbing the minds of sensitive artists who produce skołtunione emotions, feeling relieved, not caring about how their creations will affect the recipient.

We want to make the concept of art has been increasingly enriched by the work that defines him as he elevates, pushing towards solutions, and not for the loss, they can alleviate suffering, pull the vicious circle of depression, and so are antagonistic to egoism, rozsmakowywania the victimization and lack of self elevating to the level of achievement.

During the lecture, presented the works of Thomas Kitliński Szapocznikow Alina, an artist of Jewish origin who survived the Holocaust, died of cancer. He showed her a job Plongée , or dipping - with a mysterious organic matter emerges, emerges feminine breasts. Artist inspired by the body, przestawiała fragments that are often cast with own body parts, trying the same fix his life, all the emotions associated with it, their source. One of her last cycle of death is Herbarium, where it forms a body cast from his son, flattened, deformed like botanical specimens on cards Herbarium, like the last time she wanted to create a living memorial of penetrating between her hands. Created a whole cast of characters, Peter, a young man's body seems to be elongated, very delicate, fragile, this is a consolidation of ties of mother and child, just before the separation.

Another artist of the kind mentioned Kitliński was Christian-Narbutt Robb, who had similar experiences during the war. Human figure drawings, they find her in time as if surrounded by a protective cocoon, and then depart, leaving an open space. Drew a hill, mountain, sometimes referring to the mastaba, in his poem, she wrote poetry too, remembers mole memento mori, mound that covers the life.

In her work also need to be filmed spur of the manifestations of life are the objects symbolizing the bond with her relatives. Creates Fugue memory, next to the words Celan: I know it's true that we lived . In opposition stand glass Glass-cases, indicating the deceased person with small objects, which, after they were signed and a short, suggestive of who they were, what happened to them. It was established, many gablotek-gifts for husband of the artist and her friends. The small size of the objects, handicraft items, are manifestations of the feminine, the deliberate selection, is cited for comparison of girls' secrets. I find there is another objection to the war, patriarchy, femininity is the opposite. Gifts are to be the love of life, opposing the cruelty of the Holocaust, as Paul said Leszkowicz, memory Fuga Fugue replaces death-Todesfuge .

Another artist David Wojnarowicz, a New York gay, in turn, experienced a different fate, escaped from the lower classes, with the past addiction to drugs and bitter gigolo drew inspiration, he criticized the ethics of society. He is widely recognized, went to museums and academies. But the past drew after his hands when he died of AIDS, his partner Peter Hujar. Wojnarowicz care of him until the end, recorded the last time his image, after the death of Peter. The year of his death is also the completion scandalous film Fire In My Belly . Mouth and lashed ants wandering the crucifix is \u200b\u200ban expression of helplessness, a silent cry of desperate, lonely man, over which hangs the specter of death due to AIDS, a disease then ignored by society.
work appeared on the show Hide / Seek Difference and Desire at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, but was censored by the director Martin E. Sullivan, under pressure from the extremely conservative votes, which the ants on the crucifix dopatrzyły only images of Christianity (to the holiday season, it was in December last year). For the metaphorical image of the suffering of ants as you can see all the movie is not inclined, insult - but only for indifference to life, still many have lashed the mouth. Were sent to the Director a list of, among others. Paul Leszkowicz from the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan and lecturer Thomas Kitlińskiego lecture. Wojnarowicz quickly found work at the New Museum in New York.

Similar situations have place not so long ago in Poland. With last year's exhibition Homo Ars Erotica from the National Museum in Warsaw, they wanted to delete the installation Alexandra Polisiewicz, but director Peter Piotrowski was not pressure. Piss Christ, the critical work of Andreas Serrano had to hang in the 90s at the CCA in Warsaw, but Christ is beaming golden light of a transparent container in the urine its critical power exceeded the threshold of tolerance. But for me these two crucifixes have ambiguous meaning. Ants I read as a symbol of much more subtle, in the end, their job is to purify, it can be brought down here and the only mourners. Christ seems to be a reference to the late Peter Hujara, Wojnarowicz also may feel helpless ant and there is nothing funny. Serrano starts from a different position, but uses a stronger argument, but repeating the gesture, which is critical, it is not the same thing, certainly unfashionable and reckless attempt to suspend the lights in the tunnel, enjoyable show that the tunnel is dark and dirty. Golden light disappears from a different angle of view ...

duo performance artists, according to Chief Justice examines the conditions prevailing in the society, that sadomasochism can be sublimated in the form of rebellion. Judge in the performance allowed the audience to issue a command, surrendered to the auction audience, their shows are often an attempt to physical and mental strength. Will this work as psychoanalysis without prudery mirror, or seeing yourself improve canons of fairness? Or wipe the end of the trail depriving idealistic illusions, utopia, as we know we are not in danger, remain silent judgments, helpless observation of their involvements. We can contend with each other, how many animal instincts can be covered with the cloak of evolution. Religions try to make the auction for ages, trying to convince the noble objectives, whether the faithful are faithful to each other? Strangeness is reportedly valued in the world today. Yes, the values \u200b\u200bof such misfits as Socrates, who overcame his thoughts, trying to arrange a multitude of colors in the rainbow, not gray. Only the colors of the rainbow still do not like all the best, if they were a little zbrudzone not entirely ethical freedom. Efforts outstanding appreciated from a distance, placed on a pedestal, but so is a soothing feeling that we him away, giving due tribute, we can go his way. During the lecture we hear
interpretation of Marcel Proust: Gay, heteryk, or lesbian? - Elizabeth Bojanowski, Lublin, actress, recording is from three months before her death in 2001. We hear the conversation between the parts of themselves, are spoken reflections on internal otherness, their relevance and care, interpretation of the constant overflowing with internal stake Alberta Albertine, the hierarchy of the personality, the inner jealousy of temporarily repelled, seductive part of the interior, one time, once a second. Center and the periphery of self reproach, here hamletowskie question has its silent response-to be one of them, or not to be ... just which one? Which ranks the stock fund, to be as close to each other and not be devoured in the arms of Sodom and Gomorrah?
It is a reflection of bisexuality. The text has been recognized by Robert Kulp of "Ha! Arta" for queer narrative. Although personally I like most about the identity of the term liquid Marcel Proust. Albert and Albertine could have an infinite number of varieties, each of which is becoming one of the aspects life that need to juggle to jump to the next rung of survival. The problems of being a creep touches at some point, more or less, each, when it finds in itself something that sets its originality.

Kitliński In summary, emphasized the importance of art as a lived experience, inter-subjective humanity, its all possible states of consciousness. The variety of grammar, cultural gender in the arts are combined, a weapon against the exclusion. Instead of xenophobia - filoksenia, regurgitation, and not receiving humanity, to increase interior space. They shall
cited words of Hélène Cixous, feeling that Rembrandt managed to paint the invisible, the voice - the word angel inside. Cixous's daughter, Anne - Emmanuelle Berger says: I-is another , in the words of Arthur Rimbaud: I- someone else .

How much and which, with internal views to respond, then what is the soul, whether we are someone, or something, taking place in society? Do you exclude, and instead prioritize, not better connect? That's what we do on the outside is our souls, does not exclude any part of myself, my personal appeal - let's go beyond the definability, behind it, as far as possible, becoming a genuine act together.
