“To reach within oneself as soon as possible”. A conversation with Grzegorz Wróblewski, an asemic artist

Abstract

A conversation about asemic writing with the leading Polish artist of this genre, Grzegorz Wróblewski. Wróblewski discusses his inspirations and motivations that led him to choose asemic writing as his form of expression. The artist, who has developed his own recognizable style, muses on the genre’s reception, its growing international popularity and the problem of discussing and researching this underdeveloped genre in Poland. He does so against the background of his own experiences with publication and reception. His thoughts on asemic writing and art in general allow for a better understanding of the work of this multidisciplinary artist.
