About this Item

Warsaw: self-published, 1985. Quarto (29.5 ? 21 cm). Original side-stapled printed wrappers; [68] leaves of offset-printed and xeroxed typescript to rectos only. With original artworks, photographs, and hand-lettering throughout. Light soil to wrappers; else about very good. First volume of a samizdat journal featuring texts and original artworks by artists associated with Kultura Zrzuty, but dominated by the satirical and critical texts of Jacek Kryszkowski. Altogether three issues appeared, each with a different title: no. 2 as Hola Hoop, no. 3 as Hali Gali. Kryszkowski co-founded the journal with El?bieta Kacprzak as a more critical alternative to the already famous journal "Tango". The last page contains a small piece of a vinyl record signed ?a piece of a fine tango.? Kryszkowski and Adam Rzepecki held a mock auction to ?fundraise? for the creation of this publication, where the participants were invited to bid down on original and fake works of art; the remaining works were to be thrown into the Vistula River. Numerous issues of Tango were allegedly destroyed during the event. The present volume also contains an attack on Tadeusz Kantor, the master of Polish avant-garde theater, whom Kryszkowski saw as cooperating with the authorities during Martial Law. To highlight Kantor?s ?complicity? with the repressive regime, Kryszkowski presented him with a fake award from the Communist youth organization, documenting the act with the help of Adam Rzepecki. The diploma and photograph (whose authenticity is also contested) appear in the issue. Other contributions include mail art by Rzepecki, works by Andrzej Kosto?owski and Jacek Truszkowski, Andrzej Partum?s ?Animal Manifesto,? and a work by Zofia Kulik and Przemys?aw Kwiek. One of 100 copies. As of February 2024, not in KVK, OCLC.
