Timeline

1933

Jasia Reichardt (born 1933) is a British art critic, curator, art gallery director, teacher and prolific writer, specialist in the emergence of computer art.

Jasia Reichardt was born to Maryla and Seweryn Chaykin in Warsaw, Poland, in 1933.

Her mother was an illustrator and pianist and her father an architect and engineer.

1939

An assimilated middle-class Jewish family, they were overwhelmed by the German invasion of Poland in 1939 and were incarcerated among the capital's Jewish population in the Warsaw Ghetto.

Jasia survived there for a while with her mother and grandmother who tried to shield her from the unfolding horror.

1942

In 1942 she was smuggled out, but both her parents were murdered in the Holocaust.

1946

She was subsequently hidden under an assumed identity by a series of Poles, spending time in a convent, until she was able to join her mother's sister, Franciszka Themerson, and her husband, Stefan Themerson, in London in 1946.

She attended Dartington Hall school and then went to study production at the Old Vic Theatre School in London.

1950

In the 1950s she was assistant editor of Art News and Review, for which she wrote numerous reviews, as well as exhibition introductions for various galleries of contemporary art.

1960

In the early 1960s she was the general editor of the "Art in Progress" series published by Methuen.

1963

She organised various exhibitions of new art, and in 1963 – 1971 was assistant director of the ICA

1965

Apart from writing and organising exhibitions, she broadcast on the arts programme, "Critics’ Forum" for the BBC, 1965 – 1977.

She collaborated with artists and continued to focus on the intersection of the arts and science on which she wrote a monthly column in the New Scientist.

1968

In 1968 she was curator of the landmark Cybernetic Serendipity exhibition at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts.

She is generally known for her work on experimental art.

After the deaths of Franciszka and Stefan Themerson she catalogued their archive and looks after their legacy.

Her own self-description reads: Jasia Reichardt writes, lectures and organises events about subjects which deal with the relationship of art to other areas of human activity such as architecture, science, technology.

She was assistant director of the ICA, director of the Whitechapel Art Gallery, and tutor at the AA.

She has written books on art, computers, robots and the future.

In 1968, she organised the ground-breaking Cybernetic Serendipity exhibition, and edited the special issue of Studio International, which replaced the catalogue.

The same year, she curated Fluorescent Chrysanthemum, an exhibition of contemporary experimental Japanese art.

Other exhibitions followed, including Play Orbit of objects to play with by British artists.

The exhibition included works from Cybernetic Serendipity (1968), Australia ‘75: Festival of Creative Arts and Science (1975), and contemporary pieces curated by the School of Cybernetics.

In describing Reichardt's Cybernetic Serendipity exhibition the school stated that it "represented points of expanding the cybernetic imagination" and was a "ground-breaking" "glimpse of a future in which computers were entangled with people and cultures, and through this she fashioned a blueprint for the future of computing that has since inspired generations".

Jasia Reichardt was married first to Tony Richards (later Reichardt), art dealer and collector, and secondly to art historian and artist Nick Wadley.
