The Archives in statu nascendi. Tymoteusz Karpowicz and Krystyna Miłobędzka – an Introduction to Creativity Research

The article is to present a preliminary analysis of chosen archival materials by Tymoteusz Karpowicz and Krystyna Miłobędzka –the representatives of Polish postwar Avant-garde. The study is a part of the multiperspective research on these two partly related poetic projects, which seem to be similar in seeking for experiments and new forms of expression, although they are based on different concepts and stylistics. Further research on the creative processes, exposing the material, dynamic and intentionally open-ended nature of their texts can shed a new light on the history of Polish postwar Avant-garde. The archives of Karpowicz and Miłobędzka remain the ‘works in progress’, which is significant in the context of their creative programs and poetic practices.
