Lech Majewski - Eleven Moving Poems

The Tel Aviv Museum will present an exhibition of Lech Majewski's video-art works as part of EPOS festival.

Lech Majewski, a Polish artist who works internationally, is known for the films and videos he writes, directs, and shoots. A graduate of the Lodz Film School, Majewski is also a poet, painter, and stage director. In 1980 he left for England,and soon after to Hollywood.

In 2006, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York organized a retrospective of his works, defined it: “His stylized moving-image works eschew language in favor of music and fantastically expressive landscapes, both domestic and topographical. His imaginative features—whether based on legends, like The Knight and Angelus, or on such real-life figures as Jean-Michel Basquiat and the poet Rafal Wojaczek—are distinguished by a unique sensibility hovering not only between the absurd and the metaphysical, but also the beautiful and the profane.”

Majewski has received numerous awards for his films, which three of them will be shown during the festival.

You are welcome to a gallery talk with the artist on Friday, 3.2 at 12:00, Haft hall (Upper level).
