Transformation of Energy, Expansion of Consciousness: On the Origins, Assumptions, and Evolution of Marek Rogulski’s Artistic Concepts in the 1980s and 1990s
Abstrak
This article examines the key concepts, ideas, and recurring motifs in the work of Marek ”Rogulus” Rogulski, a Gdańsk-based artist who emerged in the mid-1980s and founded, among others, Fundacja Tysiąc Najjaśniejszych Słońc [The Thousand Brightest Suns Foundation] and the galleries C14~~~, Spichrz 7, and Spiż 7. Through an analysis of his actions, works of art, and theoretical writings, the article explores the central categories of energy and consciousness transformation, which Rogulski consistently investigated throughout the 1980s and 1990s. The primary interpretative frameworks include non-heterodox spiritual traditions (shamanism, New Age thought) as well as the anti-holistic premises of postmodern philosophy. Given the growing scholarly interest in positioning the art of the 1990s within the broader context of esotericism, this article argues for Rogulski’s artistic and theoretical practice as a crucial ele-ment in the reconfiguration of the artistic landscape during Poland’s transitional period.
