Wolf ManSlawa Harasymowicz
The Freud Museum is delighted to announce an exhibition of works by Polish artist Sława Harasymowicz. The show combines an installation of silkscreen prints and drawings, including images from the recently published graphic novel 'The Wolf Man', alongside items from the Freud Museum archive. These items collectively document Freud's attempts to unravel the source of the Russian aristocrat, Sergei Pankejeff's, crippling neurosis. The installation is intended to draw the images out from their paper medium into a suggestion of method. The repetition involved in Harasymowicz's working process harks back to Pankejeffs repeated accounts of personal history and his recurrent dreams, revisited during Freud's psychological analysis.

Whilst Freud never claimed for himself the title of ‘founding father’, Jelly Roll most certainly did, attracting derision and controversy in the process.
