Abstract
Silesian women artists or women artists in Silesia? Exhibition Women’s art – women in art in the Silesian Museum in Katowice The focus of the article is on the exhibition Sztuka kobiet – kobiety w sztuce (Women’s art – women in art) that was held in the Silesian Museum in Katowice in 2012. However in addition, the previous exhibition Rollenwechsel. Künstlerinnen in Schlesien um 1880-1945, (2009/10) in Schlesisches Museum in Görlitz is also of high importance. Both exhibitions were based on the same source – the publication of Artystki śląskie ok. 1880-1945 (Silesian women artists around 1880-1945) by Ksenia Stanicka-Brzezicka, Toruń 2006. The authentic discovery of works created by women artists and the intent to introduce their works into the history of art, even if at a regional level, was above all the reason for featuring the art created by women in a book and, later on, in the form of exhibitions. The first part of the exhibition in Katowice, that was curated by Katarzyna Jarmuł, was devoted to the period before 1945. It tackled, after the book, the topic of “women’s art”, essentially unexplored in reference to the region of Silesia and its development in the historical and social context of that region in the second part of 19th century. The second part of the exhibition, prepared by Joanna Szeligowska-Farquhar, is applied to the post-war period and discussed the topic of the social and political changes ongoing at the time, referring among others to education and national issues. It involved women artists of Silesian roots and those active in the region of Upper Silesia and the Opole region of Silesia. This part of the exhibition aimed at underlining the different aspects of women’s post war art in reference to the works created before 1945. The exhibition, in which the criteria of choice involved gender on the one side, and “Silesianness” on the other, has become a voice in two discussions that have been conducted for many decades and are still valid: about femininity and being Silesian as elements of subjectivity.
