| book description |

This book presents an in-depth study of the relationship between two outstanding Polish artists of the post-war era: the legendary Conceptual artist Edward Krasinski and the photographer Eustachy Kossakowski, both central protagonists of the Foksal Gallery in Warsaw, founded in 1966 as a sphere of groundbreaking experimentation in the Communist era. The creative interaction and exchange between them spans from 1964 - 1970 when the latter emigrated to Paris. Krasinski developed in these years his seminal concept of the Blue Line , a strip of scotch tape extending horizontally in a given space. In 1964 Krasinski enacted his piece Spear in a Field, which was the first 'happening' that his friend Kossakowski, originally a reportage photographer, captured with his camera. The illusion the artists created in the remaining photo series was much like he would enact in his pivotal piece J'ai Perdu La Fin!!! in which he pretends to have 'lost the end' of a cable cord. This exciting publication in collaboration with Broadway 1602, New York, presents Krasinski's 'happenings' and mise en scenes in the first comprehensive volume focusing specifically on his partnership with Kossakowski. Never intended for an audience, but strictly composed for Kossakowski's camera, the result was an original marriage of conceptual restraint and laconic humour.
