The text sets out to describe the origin and development of Mariusz Tchorek’s conception of the place coined in response to post-war developments in abstract painting – Henryk Stażewski’s late version of Constructivism, on the one hand, and the informel type of painting, on the other hand. Other points of reference were Katarzyna Kobro’s and Władysław Strzeminski’s programme of Unism and Roman Ingarden’s theory of painting; the article shows the way in which Tchorek’s conception of the place connects the ontological aspect of a Unist work with the notion of intentionality developed in Ingarden’s aesthetics. In addition, it highlights the performative dimension of Tchorek’s theoretical reflection.
