Ladies
and Gentelmen, We
are pleased to have an opportunity to familiarize you our presentation of
Weavers Craft in Kowary on CD-ROM. The
symposium (Weavers Craft Simposium) was initiated in 1974 by an artist Ewa
Maria Paradowska Werszler, the founder of
a Weaving Group called 10xTAK.
Our
presentation shows the whole history of Weavers Craft in Kowary, year after
year. It presents the places where particular symposiums and exhibitions
were held (art galleries, museums, hotels and cities). Apart from a
rich collection of photographs (about 2000 scanned photos), film sequences
from our “creative” meetings (about 100 films), the presentation also contains lists of
participants of particular meetings involving painting in the open air and
those who participated in accompaning exhibitions.
Moreover, you can find there catalogue and press texts (a full editorial and
press biography of Weavers Craft in Kowary). Apart from the above-mentioned documents
regarding Weavers Craft in Kowary in the years 1974-2002, the CD-ROM also
contains biografies of the participants of Weavers Craft in Kowary and their
works (photographs of their works). Unfortunately,
we have not managed to collect all the data as regards the participants,
therefore the above-mentioned material is presented selectively. However, we
invite all the people who might be interested to send scanned photographs of
their artistic works as well as up-to-date biographies (see:
the organizer’s address). Except
for the artists who participated in the meetings, we also present other
people who had some influence on the development, documents, events and
activities connected with Weavers Craft in Kowary throughout the years (artists,
directors of museums and factories, people connected with hotel industry,
art critics and many others). Talking
about Weavers Craft in Kowary, we mustn’t forget to mention the activity
of the group called 10xTAK.
On our CD-ROM you will also find a lot of information about the group. We
