The first this year issue of Cracovian “Dekada Literacka” (1/2007) makes a goal of, to quote Robert Ostaszewski’s introduction, putting the proverbial cat among the pigeons, being in the same time aware that pigeons may stay indifferent.

As a person with skeptical view about the art classified only in a “feministic” category I’ve read this article (Natalia LL dominuje, Konopka rządzi / Natalia LL dominates, Konopka rules, “Exit” [2 (70) 2007] with a lot of joy. Truszkowski has a socio-ecological verve, which isn’t very common in Poland, especially in reasoning concerning art – and grounds some ideas of woman artists exhibiting in Bielska BWA. He asks for example: “Does Ewa Kaja, in her works concerning hair as an accessory to women, pick out that braids used by her are made from horses’ tails? Not long ago those were fragments of live animals. People kill them thoughtlessly and without any need, so many gentle animals that we don’t need to eat”.

In the March issue of “Znak” (3/2006) we read about the reasons why Masters are sometimes abandoned despite the fact that they are so hard to find. Krzysztof Dorosz talks about his fascination with Jung, about the religious quests inspired by his concepts and what definitely induced him to choose another path. At the beginning it appeared to the author, whose adventure with Jung started when he was nineteen, that he found “a patron of all deep thoughts and guide in the world of truth.” Theories of the psychologist gave him, what it seemed, the insight into “reality hidden under the surface of not only life but also intellect.”
