Edited by Clément Dirié, Andrzej Przywara. Text by Daniel Buren, Paulina Krasiska, Andrzej Przywara, Anka Ptaszkowska.
This intimate publication documents an iconic art space of the 20th century, the Warsaw apartment and studio of Polish artists Henryk Stazewski (1894–1988) and Edward Krasinski (1925–2004)—a lively artistic and social space shared by multiple artists.
Referencing Daniel Spoerri's landmark artist's book An Anecdoted Topography of Chance (1962), it interweaves a detailed photographic survey of the studio—still preserved today as it was after Krasinski's death in 2004—by Polish photographer Pawel Bownik with numerous short stories written by relatives, artists, critics, curators and friends of both artists in commemoration of the importance of this location in the definition and social life of the Polish avant-garde, and in the dialogue between Western and Eastern European contemporary art scenes. Contributors include Daniel Buren, Andrzej Przywara, Anka Ptaszkowska, Joann Mytleowska, Adam Szymczyk and many others.
