Spaces for Beauty: In Action

Spaces for Beauty: In Action Version 01.2016

WrocĹ&#x201A;aw 2016

Dear Readers, I’m happy to announce that we’ve made it! We’ve finished the preparations for Wrocław as the European Capital of Culture. A few years ago, when we were wondering what kind of capital we would be, we didn’t know much. The initial euphoria was followed by reflection and questions. Will more residents participate actively in our city’s cultural life after 2016? Will we read more, visit theatres and concert halls more often? We still don’t have answers to those questions and we will probably have to wait a long time to get them. But we know one thing – today Wrocław is already a different city. Not thanks to a beautiful, modern concert hall or interesting new seat of the ECoC office in Barbara, renovated Nadodrze district, and not only because of considerable funds we spend and will spend on culture. Why then? Because the preparations for 2016 involved thousands of people. Mainly those young and ambitious just like Wrocław itself, but also those more mature, and previously not participating in cultural life. They transform houses and backyards, participate in workshops, apply for microgrants to implement their ideas. They see participation as an opportunity, and they join in the life of the city. And this is our shared victory. Achieved today, even before the celebrations have begun. I can’t say if in January 2016 Wrocław will be different than before, I can’t say if the European Capital of Culture can change the mentality and habits of the residents. But I can say that citizens of Wrocław needed such a challenge, they tackled it with enthusiasm and are more and more openly happy about it. And in a year’s time – I hope – they will be able to say they are proud of their Cultural Capital. Rafał Dudkiewicz, Mayor of Wrocław

The book Spaces for Beauty: In Action is a guide to the events prepared for the year of the European Capital of Culture Wrocław 2016. A kind of a diary of Wrocław, the city living and breathing culture and art. Spaces for beauty here are created by architecture, film, literature, music, opera, performance, visual arts and theatre. The involvement of the city and its residents together with the European dimension of the events resulted in an experimental, diverse, modern and socially activating programme. On four ‘stages’, which are at the same time four dimensions: Wrocław, Lower Silesia, the National Stage and the European and World stage – eight curators work in eight domains of art. Their work has brought new valuable initiatives, well-known Wrocław events will have special editions, educational and activating projects will be emphasized and the focus of the whole region will be on art and culture. Openness, creativity, residents’ energy and culture flowing from Wrocław towards Europe are our common good. That’s why we come out to the streets with art, enter backyards and other unconventional spaces to bring art to those who perhaps couldn’t reach for it on their own. We want to make it close, tangible, unique and open to new initiatives. Today, we make the city and citizens undergo a metamorphosis. Spaces for beauty will become true only if we act and strive for change together. Only integrating as many individuals as possible around the creation and implementation of the programme can endow those spaces with meaning. The meaning of creating art together. Krzysztof Maj and the European Capital of Culture 2016 team

Eduardo Chillida. Sonoridades

15 Januar y – 13 March 2016

he exhibition Sonoridades is a tribute to the sculptor Eduardo Chillida, one of the most important Spanish artists of the 20th century. It is also a form of a dialogue with the sculptor’s hometown, San Sebastián, which is also a European Capital of Culture in 2016. The aim of the exhibition of over 40 of Chillida’s works, created in various periods of his life, is to draw attention to relationships between his oeuvre and music. Sculptures presented in the Awangarda Gallery will be accompanied by sound installations by Gorka Alda and a musical cycle by José María Sánchez-Verdú – both created especially for the exhibition in Wrocław. Presence of music in Chillida’s works has often been discussed in the past. This time, the idea for the exhibition is to show the sound aspect of the object itself

and mutual inspirations of creators. This new angle of looking at the sculptor’s oeuvre is a result of the work of two curators: Inés R. Artoli (art historian and musicologist) and Ignacio Chillida (the director of Museo Chillida – Leku and the artist’s son). The setting for the sculptures will be the unique post-palace space of the gallery, where a special exhibition path will be created, designed using formally understated means by Matosek Niezgoda studio, to favour individual discoveries and contemplation. Sound installations by Gorka Alda, the composer who devoted the most attention to the acoustic aspect of Chillida’s work, will recreate the sound aura of the sculptures. And José María Sánchez-Verdú, one of the most famous Spanish composers in the world, whose aesthetic and dramaturgical ideas exhi-

amburger Bahnhof in Berlin is one of the biggest museums of contemporary art in the world. For 20 years now it has been the home of the Erich Marx collection. The works rarely travel outside of the museum. The 50th anniversary year for the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum of Contemporary Art will be one of such rare occasions in 2016. This year, part of the Marx collection will be presented in the Museum of Contemporary Art at the Four Dome Pavilion, a branch of the National Museum in Wrocław – the European Capital of Culture.In this way the presentation will create a cultural link between the two cities. Next to flagship works by famous artists crucial to the collection such as: Joseph Beuys, Anselm Kiefer, Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly and Andy Warhol, the exhibition Summer Rental will also present more contemporary works, which prove Erich Marx’s constant involvement in contemporary art. Therefore, not all of the exhibited works will come from the permanent collection at Hamburger Bahnhof – the famous collector has also lent works from his private collections.

Wrocław in Europe 20 September 2016 – 31 December 2016

ood art is intelligent and it is worth using in building the image and future of a city. The local genius loci, for seven decades defined by the activity of artists, allows us to venture to say: this art is Wrocław! For three months, the capital of Lower Silesia will host a collection of works alluding to past presentations of Wrocław art. And just like decades ago, this exhibition will present its style, unique nature and potential. Not minding differences between generations, trends and media. This variety releases energy and is certainly intriguing.

acław Szpakowski worked in Wrocław for the last 28 years of his life. He was a pioneer of abstract art, appreciated internationally, but less in Poland. Rhytmical Lines is a presentation of his oeuvre, important in the history of 20th century art, and an attempt to introduce it to a wider circulation in Polish culture.

he exhibition presents the cultural diversity and importance of Wrocław and Silesia from centuries ago. A point of departure for this grand exhibition is the activity of two great personalities living in Wrocław at that time: painter Bartholomew Strobel (1591–1647?) and bishop Charles Ferdinand (1613–1655).

The story of The Flow Quartet and Spirits of Wrocław

on this and the following page: Awakening rehearsals in Nowa Siódemka hall at the Wrocław Technology Park

The Flow Quartet The Flow Quartet is the name given to the four biggest projects in Wroclaw’s European Capital of Culture, 2016. They aim to tell the story of Wroclaw to itself, to Poland, to Europe and beyond. Performed using the city as a manuscript, all four projects are a series of stories which are gradually written, as they gradually unfold.

Spirits Of Wroclaw The Opening Ceremony of the European Capital of Culture in Wrocław 17 Januar y 2016

At 16.00 n the 17th January 2016 four Spirits of Wroclaw will wake up for the first time. Starting from four places 5 to 7 kilometres from the Market Square (Rynek), the Spirits will gradually make their way to the city centre passing through streets, bridges and communities – almost all

rebuilt since 1945. The Spirits each have their own name and their own personality: the Spirit of Flood, the Spirit of Many Faiths, the Spirit of Rebuilding and the Spirit of Innovation. Only when the Spirits meet together in the Market Square at the centre of the Old Town, will we understand why they had to come together for the very first time in the history of the city. The emphasis of the entire event is on the integration of citizen artists, space, music/design and dramaturgy – the city is the story, the city as the story.

At 18.30 With a city built upon four such spirits what will be the nature of its new growth? How will this combination of tradition, creativity and vulnerability impact upon the development of this globalising city? French designer Philip Geffroy has been working with Wrocław composer Paweł Ramanchuk (Małe Instrumenty) and director Chris Baldwin for over a year in the preparation of this event. With the support of the most exciting Polish costu-

barrier is encountered. At Plac Społeczny – the waves spread through the passages and streets. When the route reaches Galeria Dominikańska the flood will be at the highest point. The Spirit of Many Faiths roclaw, the city of many faiths as witnessed by our buildings, the musical heritage, the food, and of course, the people, the liturgies, the languages. At Legnicka tram depot a choir calls to the Spirit to awaken it. At Magnolia Park it encounters a „dance of fools” - a moment where t he religion of consumption dances provocatively in the street. Through Legnicka street the Spirit is called upon by four different choirs representing the religious traditions present in Wroclaw. The Contemporary Art Museum, The Theatre School, Kładka Nabycińska Bridge are all prepared with exquisite receptions for the Spirit. Finally the last choir waits at Plac Jana Pawła II on a surprise balcony. As voices from the crowd sing songs from the different cultures of Wroclaw, the Spirit starts to go towards the Market Square accompanied by all the performers and audiences from the route.

me, object, sound and lighting designers a highly ambitious and integrated multi-disciplinary performance has emerged. Along the routes over a thousand local artists and citizens will be adding dramaturgical colour, depth and music..

confrontation they are rewarded with an image of a more creative yet equally complex future. The music changes, more harmonic, played on new instruments. The group safely arrives at the Market Square.

The Spirit of Rebuilding his Spirit is associated with the search for a new beginning, a new home. Beginning at Grabiszyńska street near the old tram depot, two groups, one with their luggage on the old tram, the second with all their possessions on the Spirit, will be joined by musicians performing on instruments made by Paweł Romanczuk. First stop will be the viaduct where they try to overcome their fear to get under it. They meet a messenger who shows them a way to a shelter. But there is no space for them. Is this the truth? They resume their journey and soon encounter the Sea of Humanity, a flowing sea made up of hundreds of mobile citizens, blocking their way. The final challenge is on the Legionów Square – this time a wall of fire. Our characters realise that only by making a huge sacrifice will they be able to break through the wall of fire. Everything gets burned, but as a result of the

The Spirit of Flood n 1997 The River Odra flooded the city, the region and neighbouring countries. The city responded with a huge demonstration of civic pride rescuing treasured books and artefacts from the university libraries and carrying them to safety. Our Spirit of Flood is both powerful and benign – she is nature, and as such cannot be controlled and cajoled. We must find the way to live with her, not in confrontation with her. At the Dąbie depot, close to Centennial Hall, the Spirit moves for the first time. She rises and then falls. At the Zoo big animals escape through the gates and try to reach the Spirit searching for safety. Forty musicians with extraordinary water pipe glass instruments wait for the Spirit at Zwierzyniecki Bridge. At Rondo Reagana another huge group of dancers and performers develop the theme of waves and the symbolic picture of a floating city. At Most Grunwaldzki a

The Spirit of Innovation he Spirit of Innovation starts at Tadeusz Kościuszko Land Forces Military Academy, in the north of the city. When the Spirit awakes, everything around it starts to illuminate. The Spirit of Innovation resembles one of those ghosts which make lightbulbs twinkle and flicker when it walks past. As it passes along Asnyka, Kasprowicza, Żmigrodzka and Na Polance Street, buildings will be illuminated by some of the best young lighting designers from Poland. The Spirit moves along the Grodzka, Szewska and Wita Stwosza Street finally arriving at the Market Square – to bring the wind of future.

Wrocław – wejście od podwórza

rojekt Wrocław – wejście od podwórza jest częścią programu sztuk wizualnych ESK Wrocław 2016. Realizacja działań w ramach projektu rozpoczęła się w 2015 roku i potrwa do końca roku 2016. Projekt polega na realizacji interwencji artystycznych na wrocławskich podwórkach. Artyści, działając w przestrzeni miasta, będą współpracować z mieszkańcami, tak by wypracowane rozwiązania były efektem negocjacji i wspólnej pracy. Celem projektu jest próba obudzenia społecznej świadomości na temat odpowiedzialności za przestrzeń tak ludziom bliską, a jednak „niczyją” – często porzuconą i nieutrzymaną. Jednocześnie chcemy stymulować potencjał do działania w mieszkańcach – zaktywizować ich. Zależy nam także na dotarciu z działaniami artystycznymi wprost do publiczności oraz na tak rzadkim spotkaniu odbiorców bezpośrednio z artystami. Z tego spotkania wynikają efemeryczne działania pozostające przede wszystkim w pamięci mieszkańców lub instalacje, które są namacalnym dowodem podjętych wspólnie wysiłków. Naszym celem nie jest rewitalizacja; zależy nam na tym, by udowodnić, że działania artystyczne zaaplikowane w przestrzeni miasta w odpowiedniej skali mają niepowtarzalną siłę kreowania nowej jakości przestrzeni publicznej. Nie koncentrujemy się jedynie na zmianach związanych z wyglądem i infrastrukturą podwórek – przede wszystkim istotne są dla nas zmiany, jakie mogą zajść w ludziach. Dlatego też najważniejsze są dla nas spotkania we współdzielonej przestrzeni, rozmowy i współpraca podejmowana w celu wypracowania wartości dodanej dla mniejszych i większych społeczności sąsiedzkich.

Uważamy, że tylko poprzez uświadomienie sobie możliwości, jakie daje praca ze wspólnym celem i obserwowanie jej efektów, można obudzić potencjał tkwiący w grupach i poszczególnych jednostkach dotychczas nieaktywnych na polu miejskich, czy raczej podwórkow ych działań. Artystyczne działania nie są celem, ale środkiem. Są polem do szuka-

Hedgehog by Iza Rutkowska

nia nowych perspektyw przyglądania się znanym podwórkowym problemom. Wrocław, otrzymując tytuł Europejskiej Stolicy Kultury, wygrał także szansę wykorzystania działań artystycznych i kulturalnych do budowania społeczeństwa obywatelskiego w mieście. Nie możemy zmarnować tego potencjału, bo taka szansa może się już nie powtórzyć.

We Pass Each Other by Dominik Lejman, a part of the project Wrocław – Backyard Door

Jestem sobą

rojekt wykorzystuje fotografię jako narzędzie aktywizacji osób marginalizowanych społecznie. Warsztaty poszerzają zakres kreatywnych przedsięwzięć, dając dodatkowe możliwości pracy nad rozwojem percepcji i ekspresji artystycznej uczestników. Przedsięwzięcie powstaje we współpracy z Miejskim Ośrodkiem Pomocy Społecznej, świetlicą środowiskową, seniorami z Nadodrza i ośrodkiem socjoterapii.

blind.wiki

elem tego interaktywnego przedsięwzięcia jest stworzenie przez uczestników (tak niewidomych, jak i widzących mieszkańców miasta) za pomocą aplikacji mobilnej nieoczywistej mapy Wrocławia, a także wywołanie debaty na temat obecności osób niewidomych w przestrzeni publicznej i możliwości wpływu sztuki na problemy społeczne. Przez trzy tygodnie uczestnicy będą brać udział w spotkaniach roboczych z artystą Antonim Abadem, autorem wielu działań opartych o realia danego miejsca oraz problemy mieszkańców, zwykle funkcjonujących na obrzeżach społeczeństwa.

Po.rozumienie, Über.einkommen, Under.standing

o.rozumienie to jedno z pięciu wydarzeń przygotowanych podczas dwuletniego projektu OpenHUB Europe (2015–2016), w ramach którego odbędą się wystawa, prezentacje i spotkania. Partnerzy z Niemiec (OSTRALE–Zentrum für zeitgenössische Kunst), Włoch (Associazione Culturale Arci Equinozio), Belgii (Netwerk – centrum voor hedendaagse kunst) i Polski (Stowarzyszenie Świat Nadziei prowadzące Wrocławską Galerię i Pracownię ArtBrut) tworzą interdyscyplinarną platformę współpracy w dziedzinie sztuki współczesnej. Wrocławskie wydarzenie zakłada aktywny udział odbiorców, wspólne działania i spotkania oraz włączenie artystów kręgu sztuki art brut i outsider art.

Lower Silesian Platform ECoC+

Lower Silesia is like a miniature version of Poland: large cities and villages, richness and poverty, extraordinary landscapes, two borderlands, multiethnicity and difficult history. Without Lower Silesia, the ECoC celebrations in Wrocław would not be complete. The programme is based first and foremost on respect for all multi-layered contexts adding to the history and culture of the capital of Lower Silesia.

erzy Kichler said that Wrocław is a palimpsest, a text overwritten many times, a place where many cultures and inf luences interact. Continuous study and discovery of stories, places, people, artefacts and ideas is a passion of many lovers of Lower Silesia. There are regions in Poland and Europe which still wait to be rediscovered. The Open Workgroup ECoC 2016 – Lower Silesia, established in 2014, organized meetings in Legnica, Głogów, Kłodzko, Wałbrzych and Wrocław, during which they debated and agreed on rules for creation of this joint programme. It was difficult to single out individual artistic and cultural events among hundreds of varied and valuable festivals and initiatives organized each year in this region. For this reason the programme will encompass many cultural phenomena in Lower Silesia in a cross-sectional way. It is most of all a way to look at the region, present its meanings and reconsider them from a European perspective, and to di-

scuss the future of our world from the point of view of Lower Silesian issues.. I n the foreground, there are activities allowing us to ponder methods for creating culture in Poland and Europe. On the basis of the experience of Lower Silesia, they will show directions for system solutions enabling transfor. “Culture of Small and Medium-sized Towns” is a year-long series of meetings of the Open Workgroup in the form of seminars, debates and conferences taking place around Lower Silesia. Discussions will include topics pertaining to cooperation, private cultural institutions, changes in municipal culture and revitalisation of cities through culture. The meetings will culminate in a conference organized on 22–23 November 2016 and a publication on the culture in small and medium-sized cities. During a conference of the UNECC network (the University Network of the

European Capitals of Culture) with the motto „Reading the City”, which will be organized between 29 September and 1 October 2016 in Legnica, our experience in deciphering the regional palimpsest will be shared with Europe. Young researches from various domains will present the results of their work. Since 2015, they have been conducting research in six Lower Silesian towns: Bogatynia, Boguszów-Gorce, Dzierżoniów, Lwówek Śląski, Oborniki Śląskie and Wołów, where they organized research and artistic activities with artists and organizers. Another important event in this area will be Not-a-Congress of Cultural Activists organized in July in Lubiąż during the biggest alternative culture festival in Poland, SLOT ART Festival. II nother line in our programme is pertains to participation in culture and regional audience access. A specially created network of ECoC Buses will allow

residents from Lower Silesia and more remote areas to participate for the whole 2016 in the most important events of the European Capital of Culture Wrocław 2016. These will be more than regular bus trips to Wrocław but rather cultural and participatory tours, with cultural activists acting as guides. An opportunity to actively co-create the programme is provided by a special textbook: Clip. Free Ideas From Lower Silesia for 2016 and Beyond. It is a collection of ideas and inspirations for activities in schools, community centres, childcare centres, informal groups and communities, and a support for cultural, mobilising and educational activities in various towns of the region and the entire nation. Clip encourages action, boosting confidence and appreciation for successfully implemented ideas. III he third line is called the Lower Silesian Programme. It encompasses actions and festivals selected by curators of particular domains of art.

VISUAL ARTS

Eduardo Chillida is an important source of inspiration for composer José M. Sánchez-Verdú. Their oeuvres share a relationship with space, other domains of art, cultures and eras, and they both continue to experiment and undermine borders – material in case of the sculptor, and auditory in the case of the composer. To celebrate the closing day of the exhibition, Sánchez-Verdú has composed a cycle titled “Khôra”.

UNESCO World Book Capital Wrocław 2016

Workshops during Salon du livre in Paris

e are often faced with the question of what will remain after 2016. As the literature team of the European Capital of Culture, we have set some very ambitious goals and for almost three years now we have been creating and supporting solutions which would help to consolidate the literary and readership community of book activists, artists and residents. To achieve that, we have realized or cooperated with the Department of Culture at the Wrocław Municipal level on such projects as Wrocław entering ICORN, the International Cities of Refuge Network, establishing the Wrocław Publication Programme or Wrocław Literature House. Another endeavour, perceived as a way to significantly revise the

image of the city in the area of books, was the application for the title of UNESCO World Book Capital City. We won, defeating the capital of Brazil for example. Contrary to what one might think, the ECoC title received much earlier was more of an obstacle than encouragement for UNESCO and three associations (of publishers, booksellers and librarians) deciding which city would become the next book centre of the world. They were apprehensive that – for example in the promotions division – the ECoC programme would dominate the celebrations for World Book Capital. But we managed to dispel those doubts and win the title, and consequently to complement – without losing the autonomy

of the two programmes – the literary programme for ECoC, which was already well under way, with strong international elements extending far beyond Europe, activities related to non-literary books, work with librarians and the youngest readers, and finally projects dedicated to the Capital, which support creative book industries and innovative technologies in this area. By winning this very prestigious title, Wrocław joined such cities as Madrid, Bangkok, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires and Toronto. On April 23rd 2016, Wrocław will begin its term as the UNESCO World Book Capital. This distinction will allow us to broaden the international scope of our activities, add variety, enrich

Bridge Builders, 20 June 2015, the project Drowning Soul Reaches for a Book

the conversation on diversity and identity, and prolong the celebration of the book in Wrocław until April 2017. Within this programme, the idea of a meeting, so crucial for literature and readership, will be pronounced in all languages of the world simultaneously. One of the notable advantages of being a World Book Capital City, undoubtedly will be the establishment of strong and long-term international relations with cities around the world which pay similar attention to thinking about literature not only as a promotional tool, but as a real driving force behind development. Equally important is thae fact that the title will allow us to introduce solutions in the city system favouring books, literature and readership, which without the context of the ECoC and World Book Capital would have to, if only for financial reasons, wait very long for implementation.

On April 23rd , 2016, several outstanding events will mark the opening ceremony for the World Book Capital. On Wrocław Main Square, the Pan Tadeusz Museum will be opened. On the same day, we will organize a special edition of the European Literature Night, an event traditionally drawing an audience of over 10,000 Wrocław residents. This year it will be uniquely celebratory and international – not only because the readings will take place in various temples.. We will take our guests to the Street of Crocodiles in a Galician town, into which – as part of the Lviv month taking place at the same time – Przejście Garncarskie will be transformed. Another event will be the publication of Gazeta Pisarzy (Writers’ Paper), an incredible action realized by ECoC in cooperation with the biggest Polish national daily Gazeta Wyborcza. On this day, the whole paper – from national news to sport, culture

and business section – w ill be created by writers. The entire nation will learn about Wrocław as the UNESCO World Book Capital. The project has already raised the interest of many journalists from abroad, appreciating its uniqueness and grand scale. We will end our term on April 22 nd , 2017. Once again we will do it originally. On that day, at the same hour, in dozens of cities across the world, the Book Anthem will be sung. This project from Wrocław’s application is an attempt to unite people of the book from the whole world. The lyrics for the anthem, translated into many languages, will be the poem Poet’s Hair by Tadeusz Różewicz. A demonically universal work, profoundly describing the role of the poet, poetry and literature in general in the noisy world where – one would assume – poets’ voices are hardly audible.

Jazz in Wrocław

Jazz on the Odra, Lee Konitz Trio

rocław has been an important city on the jazz map of Poland for many decades. Already in 1947, often on the ground f loors of houses partially restored after the war, 171 establishments with orchestras playing live music were operating here. Local newspaper Słowo Polskie informed that “we should dance for all the years of war”. During Stalinist regime, when the assumptions of social realism were implemented, jazz was ostracized by the cultural policy of the state. Participation in the jazz world became a sign of resistance against the imposed ideological content. In public reception it became (both among musicians and audiences) a synonym for freedom, spontaneity and opposition to socialist propaganda, mass songs and unifying tastes of “a new man”. The propaganda was broadcasting son-

gs glorifying work and socialism, and young people danced at home to music played on Radio Luxemburg – often jazz, which was then considered light music. Not many people had a chance to listen to Polish jazz, as it was condemned by top activists in youth organizations and the Party as a manifestation of “moral decay of the falling capitalism”, and Polish jazz musicians were gathering and playing half-secretly in private apartments. This situation started to change after Stalin’s death. From the end of the 1950s and the beginning of 1960s, jazz was gradually becoming a part of officially approved artistic activity, penetrating into students’ culture. It was constantly present in clubs and could develop relatively independently under the patronage of youth organizations. In 1964, two students from Wrocław

University of Technology (Karol Maskos and Andrzej Żurek) with their colleague from the Academy of Fine Arts (Aleksander Fleischer) initiated a competition for jazz pianists entitled “1st Jazz Survey”. The audience like it, it was positively received by other jazz centres and had positive reviews in Jazz magazine (the only magazine devoted to jazz in Poland at that time). As a result, the organizers deciided to continue this jazz initiative. Soon the name was changed to “Jazz on the Odra”. Following Wrocław, other academic centres also began to organize their festivals (Poznań, Gdańsk, Toruń, Olsztyn, Białystok and Katowice). With time, both the quality of the performed music and the audience changed. Talented amateurs were replaced by better and better educated professional musicians. Music styles changed as well

as concert venues. During its long history, “Jazz on the Odra” was the guest of Polish Radio Studio, Philharmonic Hall, Polski Theatre, Contemporary Theatre, and the Wrocław Opera. Concerts organized in the huge Centennial Hall since the 1970s drew an audience of thousands. In the grey, socialist reality “Jazz on the Odra” was a colourful celebration of freedom. The festival included performances in students’ clubs, because the core of jazz audience were – and are up to this day – students and educated people. For years the place of competitions and unforgettable jam sessions was the club “Pałacyk” on Kościuszki Street, and the legendary “Rura”. During its long history, the festival hosted an array of world jazz giants. Suffice to say that the guests of several latest editions were: McCoy Tyner, Billy Childs, Dave Douglas, Lee Konitz, Dave Liebman, Joey DeFrancesco, Joe Lovano, Dave Murray, Ron Carter, Cassandra Wilson,

Jazz on the Odra, Zohar Fresco

Jazz on the Odra, Lee Konitz

Chris Potter, Branford Marsalis, Pat Metheny and many, many others. For many years, an important part of the festival has been a competition providing young musicians with an opportunity to dazzle the Polish jazz world. Let’s mention just a few who have won since the 1960s – Zbigniew Seifert, Włodzimierz Nahorny, Tomasz Szukalski, Ewa Bem, Andrzej Zaucha and Henryk Miśkiewicz. „Jazz on the Odra” is considered the best jazz festival from over one hundred which are organized in Poland each year (according to readers voting in a yearly survey of Jazz Forum magazine). Many eminent jazz musicians are related to Wrocław, among them Piotr Wojtasik, Darek Oleszkiewicz, Piotr Baron and Kuba Stankiewicz. They perform around the world and cooperate with the greatest jazz stars, and at the same time share their knowledge and experience, teaching jazz to young people at academies and during workshops in Poland and abroad.

Swinging Wrocław is not only “Jazz on the Odra”. Jazz is taught at the Academy of Music and in the School of Jazz and Light Music. There, the lecturers are eminent musicians from Wrocław and Poland. The “Jazztopad” festival has been organized for over a decade now – it invites outstanding creators from Poland and abroad to prepare special compositions for the festival. Albums presenting this music have received many national awards and the festival is considered one of the best in the country. Jazz concerts are also organized in the recently opened National Forum of Music and in Vertigo Club. One thing we know for sure – with such audiences and musicians, we do not have to worry about the future of jazz in Wrocław! Igor Pietraszewski

The European Capital of Culture Housing Estate Nowe Żerniki, central part of the layout

Nowe Żerniki – Spaces for Beauty

ince 1929, when the exhibition WuWa was opened in former Breslau, the reality of life has changed profoundly. But this change was not followed by an equally spectacular improvement of living standards. Eighty years later, luxury is once again defined by a 48-metre, three-room apartment. A product, just like a telephone or margarine. Developed by marketing teams and traded by sales people trained in the backwoods. A perfect fit, not for real needs but for credit ranking. Price is the priority, and so it goes way beyond optimization – with miniature balconies, narrow staircases and a lonely wooden horse pretending to be a playground. Usually fenced in – to em-

phasize the neo-bourgeois prestige and to create a false sense of security. Such a product is a point of reference for our activities. Four years ago, a group of 44 Wrocław architects and studios, together with the municipality, initiated a project referring to those unique research traditions – the Housing Estate of the European Capital of Culture Wrocław 2016. The team, called a ‘super studio’ was to create a masterplan for the whole estate, and then architectural concepts for the housing. They decided to use a method of cyclic workshops – even though working in such a big group is not devoid of difficulties, it brings synergy and a

chance for the creative exchange of ideas. Workshops were complemented by meetings with theoreticians of related domains, residents and investors, all of whom constituted a part of actual consultations and social participation. Keeping in mind the imperative of Werkbund, we wanted to prove that one can live better in the same socio-economic reality. That is why we established a certain social construct, in which all powers usually involved in the development of a city cooperate closely and use the positive effect of synergy. The result is an estate based on pedestrian traffic, organized in a public space equipped with a full range of social services and powered

by sustainable technical infrastructure. A fragment of the city based on new urbanistic ideas, with a cultural centre and a local market, designating two areas of urban activity, with space for the young and for seniors. There is a crèche, a kindergarten, a school and a family doctor. There are developers’ buildings and social housing, apartments for rent and cooperatives. Friendly, safe and ecological. A better place to live. We don’t want photogenic houses but safe houses. With a whole sequence of intermediate spaces, from most private to half-private, neighbourly and half-public. We want to provide a full service package to limit the need for transit to other parts of the city. We also want to develop the idea of the workplace located at home or nearby. We do not want ghettos for the rich and the poor, we do not want barriers and fences, we want a maximum range of age, social groups, economic groups and others. In particular, we want to implement passive and low-budget solutions, minimizing maintenance costs. Apart from buildings, we design public spaces, green areas, as well as small architecture and urban furniture. Public building designs were selected in open competitions. Nowe Żerniki is not supposed to be a monument. If we had to describe it with one word, it would be more of a polygon, workshop, process. We do nothope for a revolution. We know that banks and their tables will still play the decisive role in choosing a home. But we deeply believe that we can raise social awareness. Offering a variety of solutions, we want to show the pros and cons of each of them, in order to make decisions about buying a home more conscious and conditioned by other criteria than just price. We do not want to dazzle with form and material at the estate, because we are deeply convinced that something bigger is at sta-

ke. A good space. We consciously refuse to chase after outdated icons, as we consider that immoral and oppose it. If we do not return to the tradition of research, in a few years we will be responsible for the passivity and lack of reactions to growing housing problems. We will be responsible for the fact that we‘ve chased commissions and not even tried. How is this related to beauty? We believe that the culture-creating potential of architecture comprises answering questions posed by contemporary life and anticipating those which will be posed by the future. Beauty is not an empty form with opportunistically added content but all that which sometimes happens in between the buildings.

The story of Flow Flow turns its gaze towards a conversation between Poland and the diasporas of Wroclaw, the spaces they helped build and have inhabited in the city, and the thriving and self-confident voices and cultures associated with those diasporas today. At the heart of Flow is a question, “what can Wroclaw teach us all about being contemporary Europeans?”

Flow I

Flow II

11.00 to 20.00 ix outdoor performance spaces around the Odra and city centre will host performances during the day for a variety of audiences and tastes. Contemporary dance, music, theatre and performance – generated and performed by Polish artists and those related to the diasporas of the city – Germany, Israel, Czech Republic, Ukraine and others. Linking these six outdoor spaces will be a chain of six “cultural bridges” enabling audiences to reach the next performance space – a day for many kinds of audiences wishing to enjoy their city spaces at the peak of summer. A “chain of diasporas” also attempts to articulate a metaphor and historical fact: a chain of cities, Lwów/ Lviv, Breslau/Wrocław, Tel Aviv and New York, and many, many German cities, all linked together by the shunting of large populations in the middle of the 1940’s post war “resettlements” from one of these cities to another

At 22.00 t the core of the night-time event at the river between Wyspa Piasek and Pokuju Bridge is a performance being prepared for an audience of 150.000 people. Behind this spectacular event is a quiet, detailed, intimate process which has been developing over the past twelve months. Five composers have been working from a dramaturgical impetus written by Chris Baldwin (director), supported by Alan Urbanek (musical director) touching upon the story of the city in the 20th Century. Composer Paweł Romanchuk started the process by sketching out some musical rules of the game – a couple of bars at the beginning and end of each movement. But, out of deep conversation and a process lasting almost a year, the four young remarkable composers have given form to the whole work. Amir Shlip (Germany), Udi Perlman (Israel), Jiří Kabát (Czech Republic) and Adam Porębski (Wroclaw) have been collaborating on the composition of a new symphonic piece to be performed by a specially created orchestra from the Beethoven Academy Orchestra (Poland), graduates and students of thethe Karol Lipiński Music Academy in Wrocław, the Hochschule fur Musik Carl Maria von Weber Dresden (Germany), The Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance (Israel) and Instrumentalists from the Czech Republic. The work will act as the spine for a massive interdisciplinary performance that night involving the river and the surrounding buildings – the city, we believe, will never forget this evening.

The Spanish Night with Carmen – Zarzuela Show: a Performance by the Wrocław Opera 18 June 2016

n 2016, Wrocław together with San Sebastián, Spain will be the European Capital of Culture. On this occasion, the Wrocław Opera will invite residents and tourists from Poland and abroad for a grand musical performance. The Spanish Night with Carmen – Zarzuela Show, conceived by Ewa Michnik, will be staged on June 18th at 10 pm, for an audience of over thirty thousand people. The performance is prepared by eminent Polish and Spanish creators: Waldemar Zawodziński – director and stage designer successful in Poland and abroad, Ignacio García – Spanish director specializing in zarzuela performances, famous across Europe and in Latin America, Prof. José Gabriel López Antuñano – outstanding specialist in the art of zarzuela, conductor Tomasz Szreder, costume designer Małgorzata Słoniowska, choreographers –Natalia Ferrandiz, Janina Niesobska and Bożena Klimczak, coordinator of all choirs – conductor and director of the Wrocław Opera choir Anna Grabowska-Borys. The performance is based on the plot and music from the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet, including the famous habanera and seguidilla, and the toreador’s toast. Action is set in Seville. In the second act, in a Spanish tavern there is a

swinging party, for which Carmen and the tavern’s owner invite eminent guests, i.e. stars of world music scenes, including laureates of Grand Prix in the Placido Domingo Competition for the best zarzuela performance. Some 500 artists will perform in the show: the orchestra, ballet, choir and soloists of the Wrocław Opera, f lamenco ensembles from Madrid, Wrocław academic choirs, vocal and dance ensembles from Lower Silesia, brass orchestras (police, mining and KGHM), Andalusian horses owned by Karolina Wajda and performing Spanish dances as well as dancing horses from Wrocław municipal police. Also performing on stage will be Spanish dancers – soloists specializing in flamenco and zarzuela, accompanied by world renowned virtuosos of guitar and mandolin. The preparations for this event already began in 2013. We established cooperation with vocal and dance ensembles from Wrocław and the Lower Silesia region, and Spanish artists and zarzuela specialists. Thirty directors of vocal and dance ensembles participated in lectures by Prof. José Gabriel López Antuñano and director Ignacio García, illustrated with film and music fragments. Guests

shared their extensive knowledge of the Spanish music genre zarzuela, encompassing dance, singing, recitation and cuisine – all based on Spanish folk traditions dating back to the 17th century. In 2014 we organized dance and vocal workshops for ensembles which answered our invitation. These were conducted by Spanish singer and conductor Miquel Arqued and dancer and choreographer Natalia Ferrandiz. In the same year, on the stage of the Wrocław Opera we organized a competition for the best zarzuela song and dance performances and the best choir from Wrocław and Lower Silesia. The chair of the jury for dance was Natalia Ferrandiz, and for choral singing – Anna Grabowska-Borys. In December 2015, we organized another competition and a concert in order to select the best 100 dancers and 200 choir singers who will participate in the performance at the Wrocław Stadium. We will also invite the audience to actively participate in the show. Each spectator will receive a glowing fan and may join, during the tavern scene in the second act, the “choreography of fans”. The conductor of the fans will be the tavern’s owner and members of choirs and dance ensembles among the audience.

In Łódź, the history of great industry is hidden in postindustrial buildings, American street layouts and invisible rivers. Through this industrial tradition, many residents of Łódź today embody an exceptional understanding of development, dynamics and change. They create their city anew. They reflect upon it, experience and reinterpret it, as part of a long process of revitalisation.. Łódź in a postindustrial space in Wrocław is an artistic and educational event encompassing theatre, visual arts, literature, video art, film, music, performance, comic books, animation – all coming together in a final concert.

T–Mobile New Horizons International Film Festival 21–31 July 2016

Lost Highway 21 and 23 July 2016 National Forum of Music Film opera Lost Highway, Elfriede Jelinek, Olga Neuwirth, and Natalia Korczakowska

–Mobile New Horizons International Film Festival is famous for presenting films and works of art going beyond conventions and traditional genres The 16th edition of the festival will begin with a presentation of the Polish premiere of the opera Lost Highway with a libretto written by the controversial Nobel Prize laureate Elfriede Jelinek and music by the outstanding contemporary composer Olga Neuwirth, which transforms David Lynch’s film into music in an original way. The key role here is played by live electroacoustic transformations of the soloist parts, orchestra and six soloist-virtuosos (electric guitar, soprano saxophone, keyboard, clarinet, trombone and accordion). Electronic sounds are transmitted through a network of dozens of speakers located at the stage and in the audience, and they surround listeners and move among them. Characters in Lost Highway smoothly move between speaking, singing, and various original vocal techniques. It is a musical psychedelic journey into the human mind.

The performance of the opera Lost Highway will go beyond the confines of one genre. Director of the performance, Natalia Korczakowska, selected the National Forum of Music as the location of the event. As a result, the opera theatre will be released into the spotlight, and as a whole it will inscribe into the multimedia and questing nature of the festival, while remaining an experiment alluding to films presented during previous editions – performances by Matthew Barney (the Cremaster series) and his new film opera presented this year, River of Fundament, and a series by Peter Greenaway (The Tulse Luper Suitcases). Natalia Korczakowska on the adaptation: One of the characters in David Lynch’s Lost Highway is film itself. Someone leaves video tapes at the apartment of Fred Madison and Rene, and they can watch themselves as they sleep. Two detectives try to solve this mystery. When asked if he owns a camera, Fred, whose jealousy of unfaithful Rene will bring him to the

Movie still from Lost Highway, directed by David Lynch

border between life and death, answers no, because “he likes to remember life his own way, not necessarily the way it happened”. The subconscious, and the evil it hides, are represented in Lynch’s film by technology; most of all by the pornographic film industry, relishing perversion and violence. This observation is a point of departure for me when thinking about staging the opera by Olga Neuwirth.

River of Fundament 21–31 July 2016 Screenings at the National Forum of Music, part of the programme of the 16th T-Mobile New Horizons Festival Film opera River of Fundament, Matthew Barney and Jonathan Bepler

he film opera River of Fundament (2014), in three acts, is a new project of the American visual artist Matthew Barney. This cinematographic work is based on the controversial novel Ancient Evenings (1983) by Norman Mailer, a writer and journalist from New York, who died in 2007. The plot of the book is set in ancient Egypt. Hoping to gain immortality, the main character – Menenhetet I – tries, using magic, to become reborn three times in the womb of his wife. However, River of Fundament is not a faithful adaptation of the text, but a complex composition of phantasmago-

rical images and surrealistic narrations, in which the story of the Egyptian hero from the book becomes intertwined with an imagined biography of the author. The dreamy atmosphere of this film opera is visible, for example, in scenes of mysterious rituals with the use of cars; Mailer’s home f loating on a barge and two men fighting in a Brooklyn dockyard. River of Fundament talks about the journey of souls, constant transformation, and the gameplay between life and death. Even though the story is set in contemporary United States (Los Angeles, Detroit, New York), there are many unreal elements, as if taken from dark hallucinations or shimmering mirages. Stories told by Barney escape any attempt at an organizing description. He creates visually sublime worlds, in which he unites complexity and clarity; reality and dream; grace and monstrosity. His peculiar films escape traditional me-

thods of classification. They overwhelm and overpower the viewer. They are revolting and too eccentric and at the same time they seduce and enrapture. Matthew Barney was born in 1967 in San Francisco, but for many years now he has been living and working in New York. His artistic works oscillate between film, sculpture, photography, installation and performance, often blurring the lines of each of this domains. He participated in many prestigious exhibitions, among them Documenta IX in Kassel (1992), Whitney Biennial (1993) and Venice Biennale (1993). His breakthrough work was a monumental series Cremaster (1994-2002), which made him famous around the world. He realized it in cooperation with composer and multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Bepler, the author of the music for River of Fundament. Wojciech Delikta

Film opera: Lost Highway FILM

An opera with the libretto by Nobel Prize laureate Elfriede Jelinek and music by outstanding contemporary composer Olga Neuwirth. It is an original variation on the cult film by David Lynch. The main characters smoothly transition from speaking to singing, whispering to shouting and various other vocal techniques. It is a musical psychedelic journey into the human mind, voice and sound.

Film opera: River of Fundament FILM

The only presentations in Poland of the latest, biggest project by multidisciplinary artist Matthew Barney – an opera in three acts told in film language, containing elements of performance, sculpture and drawing. Barney was inspired by Ancient Evenings, a controversial novel by Norman Mailer, describing a man’s journey from death to rebirth based on Egyptian mythology.

Singing Europe

Singing Europe is a meeting of dozens of choirs from various countries and a presentation of splendid operas, oratories and a cappella pieces, in cooperation with seasoned, renowned artists.

n 2016, participants will be young amateur singers and stars from around the world: Aleksandra Kurzak, Roberto Alagna and Paul McCreesh. Altogether, several thousand people will participate in the project. Joint concerts and meetings will allow them to share experiences and get to know other cultures. The project stems from the Wratislavia Cantans Festival. Inspired by the festival, in 2001 Andrzej Kosendiak started a pro-

gramme for the development of Wrocław school choirs Singing Wrocław, financed by the Wrocław municipality. The main goal of the project was reactivating and establishing new school choirs in educational institutions in Wrocław, starting with primary schools, then in kindergartens, early education institutions, secondary schools and high schools. Based on the results of this programme, on 21 March 2006 an All-Poland Pro-

gramme for the Development of School Choirs Singing Poland was established. Since its inception, it has been financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage and local municipalities. The principles of Singing Poland were to create a programme of general choral education for children from comprehensive schools. The aims included: developing personality, sensitivity and imagination through choral education, teaching

Singing Europe

valuable musical repertoire, contact of choir singers with eminent master artists, teaching children respect for values carried by art and educating conscious recipients of music. The initiatives mentioned above were initiated and implemented by local coordinators (about 300 activities around Poland each year), and the most spectacular events were final concerts of Singing Poland with participation of the best school choirs from various regions in Poland. They provided young choir singers with an opportunity to learn ambitious a cappella, vocal and instrumental pieces, meet fantastic performers and sing on professional stages. A natural development of those activities after Wrocław had received the title of the European Capital of culture was broadening the range of the choir programme to all of Europe by creating the Singing Europe project. The project started in 2014 with a performance of Requiem by Giuseppe Verdi, conducted by Paul McCreesh, with

soloists Ewa Vesin, Edyta Kulczak, Jan Martiník, Robert Murra, the Wrocław Philharmonic Orchestra and joint choirs: Gdańsk University Choir, Astrolabium Choir, Medici Cantantes Choir of the Wrocław Medical University, and the University of Warsaw Choir. A year later, the formula was slightly extended, and the performance was of The Dream of Gerontius by Edward Elgar, also directed by Paul McCreesh, with the participation of the NFM Orchestra and soloists: Ann Hallenberg, Charles Daniels, Neal Davies and choirs: the University of Warsaw Choir, Academic Choir of the University of Pardubice, Choir of the University of Silesia “Harmonia”, and The Academic Choir of Wrocław University of Technology. Also, workshops with the Voces 8 ensemble were organized, culminating in an a cappella music concert with invited choirs. The final edition in 2016 will include three concerts. The repertoire will consist of the oratorio Elias by F. Mendelssohn-

Bartholdy, and famous arias and opera choir pieces with the participation of Aleksandra Kurzak and Roberto Alagna – both concerts conducted by Paul McCreesh, and famous melodies for choirs and orchestra from various European countries, at the Municipal Stadium. Singing has been very important in Wrocław for many years. We have educational projects for present and future parents (Mummy, Daddy, Sing to Me), and everyone is invited to sing in the Music Lover’s Choir. There are dozens of school choirs, very good academic choirs and many other vocal ensembles. In 2016, we will invite choirs from across Europe to join us and enjoy our passion for singing together. For three weekends Wrocław will become the European Capital of Singing!

Let’s Learn to Read

Quotes in the streets – a happening the Literary Elections

ducational projects in the literary programme of the European Capital of Culture and UNESCO World Book Capital are essentially trying to restore literature to young people, with all the consequences that reading with active and sensitive comprehension can bring. This project assumes the view that writing should be primarily taught through reading, meanwhile the current educational system continuously marginalizes the role of literature in children’s development and teaching, which will have profound consequences for the functioning of society in the future

Together we can realize that a true meeting with literature can happen only outside the school canon and the school itself, because it cuts the depth of the literary tale. Let us reject the thesis, which is often accepted without consideration, that to develop readership, we need special and unique activities for the special and unique young people. Let us stop repeating that the deep knowledge of literature and the understanding of its eternal value as a foundation for many other arts won’t be useful to young people in the future. Let us stop believing in effectiveness as the only ideal and measurable criterion

for education. Let us go back to thinking about humanistic intelligence as a very rational and effective part of society. And finally – let us cease activities which, short-sightedly, do not envision any use for humanities, (including literature and literary research, creative book industries and the role of libraries in economic development), and as a consequence lead to systemic limitations in research, innovation and evolutionary possibilities. Educational projects of the ECoC and World Book Capital focus on the possible rational balance between school and out-of-school space, they refer to the school

programme, but broaden it with important elements for some reasons not present there, inspire activities integrating pupils with talents in humanities among their colleagues with more scientific minds, and consequently try to raise awareness that even though knowing a grammatical structure of a sentence is useful, it cannot replace understanding it. Yet our goals in the area of education are not limited to an attempt to change the perception of the role and importance of literature by children, young people and adults responsible for teaching them. Equally important is the need to implement and adjust the conversation about literature within dynamic social and communication models in Poland and Europe at the beginning of the 21st century. It is crucial to repeatedly stress that restoring due balance between the virtual and the real world should be based on activities in which the Internet is most of all a tool for preservation, care and commenting on humanistic values, and not an end in itself. We should understand that it can also be used for systemizing activities, historical and theoretical literary research, pro-readership innovations, educational games and artistic creativity. We believe that this area of implementation of new media remains to be accurately explored. We also believe that the new canon of social communication does ot need to use primitive, simplified, improper and ungrammatical language. It can and should learn its beauty, metaphors, emotions and sensitivity from literature. To achieve this, young people should learn words and not individual letters. We have to stop the intellectual stuttering. Literature can teach us that. We should also remember that homogenous society is at its end. Multiculturalism is no longer just a fashionable slogan,

but a reality. This is not only a result of the growing comprehension of the multiethnicity of Poles, but also of the geopolitical and macroeconomic situation. Literature has been describing, analysing and debating such issues for a long time. Like no other art, it is accustomed to translating thoughts and cultural context of one individual into a remote and strange language of the other, allowing them to meet and negotiate mutual understanding. Let us learn from literature.

City Coalition 2016: Gdańsk – the City of Freedom

Gdańsk associates with values which constituted the city’s greatness and development ages ago, and those which recently decided the fate of Europe. When openness, freedom and solidarity constantly gain new meanings, they remain a continuing challenge for our continent, countries, cities and individuals. Artists will be invited to a vague space which is not associated with cultural activities. The activities will be a pretext in the search for Gdańsk’s spirit of freedom.

International Cooperation

The European Capital of Culture Wrocław 2016 is a result of cooperation with foreign partners – cultural institutions, artists, independent artistic circles, and departments of culture, academies of fine arts and academies of music from our partner cities. Together in Wrocław, we will create a shared space for artists and creators of culture, and we will show the city’s residents its variety and richness by presenting the most interesting phenomena, at the same time promoting the multidimensionality and uniqueness of Polish culture on the international stage.

Wrocław – Lviv: a unique relationship

he relationship between Wrocław and Lviv is linked to the dramatic history of the 20th century – when in 1945, just after the war, Polish borders were moved. Among many strangers who settled in Wrocław then, there were professors and artists from Lviv. In 2016, we will tighten relations between the two cities through culture and art: in Wrocław, we’ll be able to watch Ukrainian films, attend concerts each weekend in April, get acquainted with contemporary Ukrainian art, and on a specially arranged Lviv Street – feel the atmosphere, tastes and aromas of our partner city.

Partner cities – partnership initiatives

n 2016, we will also present the richness of other Partner Cities of Wrocław. Dresden is particularly active, together with the whole of Saxony it is involved in the music and visual arts programme. Lille, a partner for many years and also a European Capital of Culture, invites us to promote in France, and to work on joint projects to be presented in Wrocław. In June, young people from partner cities will participate in the school exchange project Camp Together, aiming at raising cultural competence of schoolchildren from various countries.

Wrocław – Berlin: good neighbours

n 2016, the international audience will also observe the neighbourly relationship between Wrocław and Berlin. Our main partner there is the Zukunft Berlin foundation, which supports the programme of artistic, scientific, sports and prosocial events. The most important joint projects are: Luneta 2016 (an artistic installation placed simultaneously in Wrocław and Berlin and linking the two cities), In Between Festivals (a year-long festival of dance, theatre and performance built on cooperation between Wrocław and Berlin), a world famous event Berlin Clubnacht – special edition in Wrocław,

and an exhibition Wrocław. Faces of the City. The Zukunft Berlin Foundation is also an important partner in the organization of the exhibition Forgiveness and Reconciliation. Cardinal Kominek, the Unknown Father of Europe and European Film Awards.

Faces of Wrocław

he Flow Quartet will tell the story of Wrocław through stories of people building this city, and that is why important partners in this project are Czech and Israeli institutions, as we work together on a dance and music story about the fate of Wrocław. Specially commissioned Symphony for Wrocław will include sounds of various nationalities mixing in our city throughout history. Thanks to the Embassy of Israel in Poland, we are established interesting artistic connections with partners from Israel and together with them, we will prepare the biggest outdoor events in 2016.

Japan in Europe

U-Japan Fest Committee is an ambassador and philanthropist for Japanese art in Wrocław. A strong Japanese element will be visible already at the beginning of the year, during the Two Sticks exhibition devoted to Japanese contemporary art. There will be opportunities to see the traditional chess shogi and the original theatrical form rakugo. We will also hear avant-garde Japanese sounds during the Avant Art Festival, feel the atmosphere of jazz during Jazztopad, and Japanese theatre masters will present during the Theatre Olympics.

Artists residencies – a personal dimension to the international cooperation

project devoted to developing permanent international exchange and translating contacts between institutions into personal contacts are artists residencies (Artist-in-residence Wroclaw – A-i-R Wro). To the programme we invite artists from Wrocłąw’s partner cities as well as former and future European Capitals of Culture.

International networks

nternational cooperation is not a one-time project – once established, the relationships should be sustained, for example by exchanging contacts facilitating synergy between organizations functioning in similar dimensions. The ECoC Wrocław 2016 office is creating informal networks for exchange of European cultural competencies, through projects such as Cyber Academy or Reading the City. The city is also actively participating in the informal network of former and future European Capitals of Culture which gives it constant access to trusted partners around Europe and a platform for promoting its activities. Wrocław has also joined ICORN – the prestigious International Cities of Refuge Network.

TIFF Festival // Rivers and Roads ‚2016 VISUAL ARTS

One of the three important festivals of photography in Poland. The 2016 edition, under the motto ‘Rivers and Roads’, will focus on travel, migration and mobility. We will present, among others, an exhibition by Łukasz Rusznica, curated by Mikiko Kikuta, and an exhibition by Jon Cazevane, a result of his residency in Japan as part of the European Eyes on Japan programme, which presents unique perspectives on Japan and propagates its culture.

Pax et bonum per musicam MUSIC

The idea of the festival – peace and goodness through music – alludes on one hand to the views of St Francis of Assisi, the ambassador of peace, and on the other to the philosophy of striving for good through the beauty of music and interiors. Among others, there will be a concert by the Mudéjar group playing on reconstructions of instruments which did not survive to the present day.

The Princess

Premiere on the Big Stage at the Capitol Music Theatre Script: Joanna Pawluśkiewicz Directed by: Agnieszka Glińska Music: Jan Duszyński

The Scattered Card Index

10.10.2016 Organized by: The Grotowski Institute and Argomedia www.kartotekarozrzucona.art.pl

The most important premiere of the Theatre during the European Capital of Culture year. The Princess is set in post-war Wrocław. In 1945, Maja, a Romany girl – a stranger in a strange city – takes care of abandoned animals. The almost surreal story of a gypsy girl – queen of animals, rejected by people – is a way to tell an allegorical, beautiful and sad fairy tale about loneliness, strangeness and exclusions.

Theatre Olympics The World as a Place of Truth 14 October – 13 November 2016

heatre Olympics is an international theatre festival presenting achievements of great theatre artists from around the world. The initiators of the Olympics – Greek director Theodoros Terzopoulos and Greek Minister of Culture and originator of the European Capital of Culture competition Melina Mercouri – established it, together with the founding committee, in 1993 in Delphi. So far, six editions have been organized, each with a different motto. The Olympics have been hosted in: Delphi (1995, Tragedy), Shizuoka (1999, Creating Hope), Moscow (2001, Theatre for the People), Istanbul (2006, Beyond Borders), Seoul (2010, Sarang: Love and Humanity) and Beijing (2014, Dream). The motto of the 7th edition of the Olympics will be “The world as a place of truth” – a paraphrase of the title of a text by Jerzy Grotowski. Creators presented in the main programme are those who have transformed the theatre of the 20th and 21st centuries: Eugenio Barba, Peter Brook, Tadashi Suzuki, Theodoros Terzopoulos, Robert Wilson, Romeo Castellucci, Heiner Goebbels, Krystian Lupa, Valeri Fokin, Pippo Delbono and Jan Fabre. They will present renowned productions as well as premieres and co-productions specially prepared for the European Capital of Culture. Each day will be devoted to one artist, and their performances will be

accompanied by debates, seminars, meetings and films. The programme will be arranged in the form of a season, between October and November. In 2016, Wrocław will become a European and world centre for deep and multi-layered reflections on the history, the present situation, and future perspectives for development of the art of theatre and dramaturgy. The Olympics will also be a creative continuation of the idea of the University of Research of the Theatre of Nations, organized in Wrocław in 1975 by Jerzy Grotowski. The Olympics in Wrocław will be enriched with new themes and motifs, discussed during an international conference “Krajobraz/Landscape” programmed by Prof. Geoges Banu and Prof. Maria Shevtsova, and a research symposium “European Theatre Perspectives”. Both confrences will focus on the key idea of a meeting of three generations of eminent creators of European theatre at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. The presentations and conferences will be complemented by directing and teaching forums: the Age of Directors. The first is a series of educational meetings with Russian directors. Invited masters will conduct a set of theoretical and practical classes on the director’s workshop. Another forum, with the participation of teachers from theatre academies in India, China and Korea: Ratan Tiyam, Liu Libin

and Choi Chy-Rim, will focus on issues of teaching and tradition. Each edition of the Olympics is open to theatrical traditions of the region where it is organized. For several weeks the festival’s hosts present their achievements in theatre and other performative arts. That is why there will be several thematic lines during the Olympics: The Lower Silesian Theatre Planform, More than Theatre, Dziady: Recycling Festival and Eastern Line. The programme will also include events with the participation of associates and guests of the Grotowski Institute, the most important being Ludwik Flaszen. Members of the International Theatre Olympics Committee are: Theodoros Terzopoulos (Greece), Tadashi Suzuki (Japan), Robert Wilson (the United States), Heiner Müller (1929– 1995), Wole Soyinka (Nigeria), Yuri Lyubimov (1917–2014), Tony Harrison (Great Britain), Ratan Tiyam (India), Nuria Espert (Spain), Giorgio Barberio Corsetti (Italy), Georges Lavaudant (France), Antunes Filho (Brasil), Jurgen Flimm (Germany), Choi Chy-Rim (Korea), Liu Libin (China), Valeri Fokin (Russia) and Jarosław Fret (curator of the theatre programme for the ECoC Wrocław 2016). Organized by: The Grotowski Institute. Programme details available starting May 16th,2016.

The story of Sky Web

The Closing Ceremony of the European Capital of Culture in Wrocław 16–17 December 2016 This is the only part of the Flow Quartet which moves indoors. The prestigious Centennial Hall will be the host for Sky Web, the closing event for the European Capital of Culture Wroclaw 2016. In this final part, the artistic team will have a chance to bring together all the strands developed in the earlier movements of The Flow Quartet for an audience of six thousand people. The Flow Orchestra from Germany, Israel, Czech Republic and Poland will reunite to take the story to its final stage. Most enigmatically of all are the Spirits of Wroclaw. Here they return for a final time. But on this occasion the focus turns to the young woman who climbs the structure they create. Who is she and what does she represent? What does her presence tell us about the nature of this city, the nature of Europe, as Wroclaw closes its year as the European Capital of Culture? Sky Web is the final movement of the Flow Quartet. As in all quartets this work is for four instruments or voices which join together in harmonic balance;

EOPLE: the voices of artist citizens associated with the stories of Wrocław/ Breslau and the diasporas of the city, now living around the world – predominantly in Germany, Israel, Ukraine and Czech Republic. Citizens of present day Wrocław are, each and every one, children or grandchildren of diasporas too – from other places in Poland and today’s Ukraine.

PACE: three movements take place in public and open spaces, bridges, the river, roads and parks of Wrocław. We have found ourselves using the Greek concept of “palimpsest” – a place or object with many half revealed layers, repe-

atedly in our work. Centennial Hall offers the final movement a space to gather thoughts and images together under one roof.

OUND and DESIGN: New music and design has been developed as the result of both intercultural collaborations and a celebration of the palimpsest nature of this city. We have commissioned music and designs from Polish lighting magicians and floating object builders to French Spirit makers, bringing the city as a manuscript into dramaturgical relief.

RAMATURGY: By combining people, space and sound/design, the

Flow Quartet presents a story which does not reduce the complexity of this city but rather acknowledges the contradictions, the historic trauma and its incredible achievements. The projects also explore the city’s hopes for the future.

hese four voices intertwine at various points to create a complex and somewhat unpredictable pattern. Each movement, each part of the quartet, is designed for tens of thousands of people to enjoy. But these four voices (artist citizens, space, sound/design and dramaturgy) are always present even when only one of them takes the leading role for a few bars.

The Ministerium idea is to form a working group which will create recommendations for ECoC, and for a broader and deeper transformation which can facilitate access to culture in Wrocław. Particularly important among many projects devoted to audio description and removing architectural barriers are MiserArt, a zone of culture in a labyrinth of exclusion, and Turn Culture On, for persons under the supervision of probation officers.

Book Saved Our Childhoods Until 1989, the literature of East and West had developed separately. We want to rediscover the heritage of children’s and young-adult literature written during communism, analyse it critically and present it in the form of a compendium. This will be done by creating an international Web portal in cooperation with cultural institutions in countries of the former Eastern Bloc. It will become a part of the Wrocław Literary Web Portal. Literary Exhibitions Three temporary multimedia exhibitions in a unique form of an adventure game or an unconventional test. The first exhibition will be dedicated to the period from Romanticism to Positivism, the second from the Young Poland era to the 1930s, the third to the period from the Second World War until today. Their aim will be to bring the Polish and European literary heritages to the young generation

and to bring the production and distribution of auxiliary materials for teaching Polish into schools.. Writing Forum for Children and Young Adults A creative-writing course for interested young people from secondary schools and high schools in Wrocław and neighbouring districts. The instructors are specialists in three fields: prose, poetry and literary journalism. The aim of the workshops is the development of the participants’ writing and linguistic skills, integrating them with literature and creating valuable texts. During the workshops, students will also meet with renowned Polish writers. Make Your Own Book A natural extension of the Writing Forum for Children and Young Adults will be year-long workshops. Participants will learn about the process of bookmaking: from paper production, writing and editing to printing and the use of new technologies. Workshops will be organized for a broad group of young people (from kindergarten pupils to high school students) interested in the art of writing and publishing books and those who may want to acquire new skills and knowledge from specialists. Wrocław: World Book Capital City in the Eyes of Children Over 365 days, children from Wrocław’s schools will be creating a unique book – sharing their stories and experiences. The book will be written in the form of a blog, coordinated by

teachers. The writing process will be accompanied by a series of workshops and lectures for children. The project’s aim is to promote children’s creativity, fostering their interest in literature and projects devoted to the promotion of reading. Action: Education <finale> May 2016 (1 day) Świebodzki Train Station Stage

Two additional proposals are selected by Internet voters. These projects are implemented collaboratively by their creators and the office of the European Capital of Culture Wrocław 2016. Due to the fact that they are also organized outside of the city centre, residents of Wrocław’s far corners can seek, define and reveal beauty in various spheres of their lives, implementing the motto “Spaces for Beauty”. The programme offers support in project coordination, professional administration, programming, as well as technical, legal, promotional and financial aid. www.wroclaw2016.pl/mikrogranty

Barbara Barbara is a unique space for beauty in the heart of Wrocław, a place to meet and discuss ideas. It is also an iconic establishment next to the Świdnickie underpass, associated with Organge Alternative happenings, among others. After many years, it returns as an ECoC 2016 information centre and a place for meetings and activities for people from many environments. This modernly designed space contains a café with an outdoor garden open in the summer. To promote the culture of good local food, the menu is based on regional products from Lower Silesia. Barbara is open for activities linking culture, art and business. There are regular dance parties

‘Silent Barbara’, workshops for children, meetings with authors, conferences, exhibitions, film screenings, performances and presentations of works by resident artists from the AiR Wro programme. We welcome pets too. One of the permanent elements of the interior design, apart from carefully renovated columns, is the exhibition Sit Down Polish Style, a survey of Polish design from 1941 to today. Another attraction is a space for children – the “Hideout”, created on the basis of ideas of participants in Kids Design Space workshops. The youngest participants learned about the whole creative design process – from concept to production, discovering the world of architecture, design and new technologies. Cooperation

between children and adults resulted in unique ideas, and a multi-layered space in Barbara, transporting the youngest into a dreamland. Installation was created in cooperation between architects from PORT studio, OPEN MIND foundation, Barbara/ ECoC 2016 and the companies: HABE Kinga Kosińska owner of the FAM FARA brand and the kreatywni.pl group. Barbara is a new centre for culture in the heart of Wrocław. Parks of the European Capital of Culture In four Wroclaw parks, “pavilions for culture” in the form of ship containers were installed, including a stage and an auditorium. They have no imposed

programme, everything depends on the creativity of the residents – the coordinators are open to suggestions. In 2015, during an 11-week pilot programme, the pavilions were visited by over 4,000 people, and held over 200 events. Visitors could showcase their talents, talk about their passions, carry out practical workshops, interesting lectures and joint exercises with the use of equipment and sports facilities. In 2016, there will be more pavilions, and their location will largely depend on the residents. If you have any suggestions about the location or want to coordinate a pavilion, write to us: parki.esk@wroclaw2016.pl. We invite individuals, groups, estate councils, etc.

Donostia/San Sebastián 2016

Each year, two cities are selected to be the European Capital of Culture. Wrocław’s partner city in 2016 is San Sebastian/Donostia in Basque Country, Spain. The programme of the year on the one hand emphasizes San Sebastian’s attachment to region and its traditions, and on the other – presents the rich and even cosmopolitan history of the city. Most of the projects are created around ideas represented by three symbolic Lighthouses. nr

The Lighthouse of Peace addresses a historical issue in Basque society, a situation which is gradually progressing towards normality as work continues to solve its problems thanks to dialogue. But coexistence is an objective that extends beyond the borders of the Basque Country, an ambition more present than ever on today’s European stage. New social phenomena are disrupting coexistence inside and outside the borders of the continent. To tackle the problem, the Lighthouse of Peace spreads values of pacifism and respect.

The Lighthouse of Peace

u ng

H u ma

The Lighthouse of Voices emphasizes the ability of artistic expressions such as cinema, theatre, visual arts, literature and music to inspire emotion, reflection and connections with other people. Expression, transmission and communication are its three pillars, and all three promote projects of a dimension and significance unheard of before in the city, the thrust of new voices and direct links with Europe.

The Lighthouse of Life has its sights set on improving the everyday evolution of people, families and society in general. It aims to achieve a healthier, richer and more prosperous lifestyle to ensure that citizens enjoy a better quality of life thanks to nutrition, sport, health and education. These are projects aim to alleviate the difficulties thrown into the wheels of everyday existence by the frenzy of contemporary urban life.
