*Minor Compositions Podcast Episode 16 Sports & the Avant-Garde with 
Przemysław Strożek*
https://fireflyfrequencies.org/podcasts/minor-compositions

For this episode we talk with Przemysław Strożek about the relationship 
between avant-garde arts and sports in the 1920s and 1930s. We discuss 
two of his books, one as editor: Sport and the European Avant-Garde 
(1900–1945); and one as sole author: Picturing the Workers’ Olympics and 
the Spartakiads: Modernist and Avant-Garde Engagement with Sport in 
Central Europe and the USSR, 1920–1932. What was the role of avant-garde 
artists in the emergence of working class sports cultures during this 
period? How did they contribute to the shaping of the politics of mass 
sporting events such as the Workers’ Olympics? And what might these 
histories tell about the relationship between sports, politics, and art 
for today and into the future?

*Bio:* Przemysław is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Art, Polish 
Academy of Sciences and Research Associate at the Archive of the 
Avant-garde in Dresden. He has a PhD habilitation and occupies himself 
with the history of avant-garde, modernism and contemporary art. He 
sometimes curates exhibitions and also wrote a book about how sport and 
art have intermingled.
