Gdańsk City Gallery (GGM) is a self-governmental cultural institution founded in 2009. The GGM comprises three branches: GGM1 in Piwna St., GGM2 in Powroźnicza St., and Günter Grass Gallery in Gdańsk – 4G, situated on the corner of Szeroka St. and Grobla I St. Located in the proximity of each other, in central Główne Miasto, the three spaces function as city salons, where progressive, often experimental contemporary art combines with reflection on broadly understood culture and society.
GGM1
Gdansk City Gallery 1 focuses on exhibitions of young artists and solo acts of recognized creators. The cosy space that requires concentration next to the busy Piwna Street is an alternative to mass tourist attractions. Among its other actions, the gallery conducts
the programme Głęboka woda [Deep Water] aimed at preparing students to function in the art environment. This place allows a very individual contact with the art it presents. Gdansk City Gallery 1 is curated by Gabriela Warzycka-Tutak.
GGM2
Gdansk City Galery 2, which functions between Powroźnicza Street and the boulevard by the River Motława is a place of presentation of many collective and solo exhibitions with different dynamics of staging. The special programme called Project space enables many ephemeral artistic pop-up projects, which do not fit the annual exhibition schedule, to find their place in the gallery. Owing to its contact with many renowned galleries in Poland and abroad, GCG2 presents the latest international exhibition trends. Gdansk City Gallery 2 is curated by Andrzej Zagrobelny.
4G
4G is above all Günter Grass – the intellectual and artistic patron of Gdansk. The gallery keeps a collection of more than 140 works by the Nobel prize winner, which are displayed in a variety of compositions during temporary exhibitions.
The gallery does not limit itself to the presentation of Grass’s works, but tries to make the figure of Grass a starting point for an analysis of social and cultural phenomena, in particular ones at the junction of visual arts and literature, making it unique on the Polish scale. In future, this place will be enriched with a reading room and a special programme of debates and lectures carried out under the joint title of Beaufort Scale. 4G is curated by Maria Sasin.
Narrations – several days of an artistic event organised each autumn alongside The City Culture Institute, each time in a different district of Gdańsk. Narrations feature numerous Polish and international artists, whose works, often commissioned specifically for the festival venues, attract several thousand visitors! The author of the idea of the festival is Iwona Bigos – former director of the GGM.
