'Language / Język' by Jaroslaw Kozlowski.
Kozłowski's rich and multifaceted work has its roots in conceptualism. It is marked by a critical-analytical discourse with art and the mechanisms of perception, self-reflection and the building of correlations between the grammar of the artistic language and the sphere of meaning. In the 1970s he created works of a purely linguistic nature; they reflected his interest in language games and puns, as well as in transposing the rules of formal logic to reality and vice versa.
Kozłowski’s Language/Język is a procedural/poetic work with a strong visual element, which shares similar concerns with work being produced in the West at around the same time in the field of Concrete poetry.
