September 21–October 22, 1994

This—the inaugural exhibition of Ubu Gallery—consisted of a rare group of photographs by the Czech avant-garde artist, Jindrich Styrsky (1899-1942). These photographs were the basis for the artist’s surrealist masterpiece, On the Needles of These Days, published clandestinely in 1941 with original photographs and more widely in 1945 with gravure reproductions. The photographs in this exhibition were accompanied by a characteristically surrealist and anti-war, anti-Nazi poem by Jindrich Heisler (1914–1953).
