NARRATIONS #6 | CURATORIAL CONCEPT<\/strong> m\u0119drzec i duch<\/em> | the sage and the ghost <\/em>| Gdansk Upper Wrzeszcz | 15-16.11.2014

<\/em><\/p>

This year\u2019s NARRACJE are held in Wrzeszcz, a district radically different from the former festival locations (D\u0142ugie Ogrody, Dolne Miasto). Here, modern facades stand in stark contrast to the architecture of the 1960s and 1970s as well as the beautiful but much degraded pre-war urban tissue \u2013 Wrzeszcz suffered minor damages during World War II. The sheer sound of some of the names of places around is enough to drive imagination into a mythical and enigmatic world (\u015awi\u0119ta Studzienka \u2013 Holy Well, Kr\u00f3lewska Dolina \u2013 Royal Valley).

<\/p>

Wrzeszcz owes its name to forests with plenty of heather \u2013 \u201cwrzos\u201d in Polish. The characteristic local microclimate and richness of flora left the travellers roaming the area in awe. One of them was King John III Sobieski. In 1677, upon his wish, the place was to bear forever the name of Royal Valley. The nearby hills hid springs of natural health-giving water (Holy Well), whose healing properties were spread among people in stories. Therefore, it hardly comes as surprising that with time Wrzeszcz became a charming resort adorned with manor houses of Gda\u0144sk\u2019s super-rich surrounded by beautiful gardens and parks. In 1904, the K\u00f6nigliche Technische Hochschule zu Danzig was founded here, which exists until the present day as the Gda\u0144sk University of Technology. Its seat was also the centre of the main Masonic Lodge in Gda\u0144sk, and the building has preserved until nowadays an abundant decoration of Freemasonry symbols. Important for Wrzeszcz, like for the entire city of Gda\u0144sk, should be the memory of the history of its German dwellers, who formed a majority until World War II. Apart from the history of the district \u2013 at times corny, sentimental, or even romantic \u2013 there is also its contemporary life. Seat of banks and shopping malls, Wrzeszcz is treated by many in Gda\u0144sk merely as a transit area. It is somewhat of a prism of the city.

<\/p>

Currently, it is a place to live for many young people (they came here throughout the last decade), including artists. We were also the ones to move here (2003).

<\/p>

The title of this year\u2019s NARRACJE the sage and the ghost is a metaphor of two seemingly contradictory worlds: the lenses and learning of the sage and the romantic aura and legend of the forgotten places in the district.

<\/p>

Thus, it is not by chance that this year\u2019s edition has been set to extend in the area of Wrzeszcz\u00a0G\u00f3rny between the temple of reason \u2013 the Gda\u0144sk University of Technology and a place of religious reflection \u2013 the New Synagogue.

<\/p>

Do artists really divide into \u201cenlighteners\u201d and \u201cromantics\u201d? Or do they merge characteristics of the two? What reactions will the aura and history of Wrzeszcz G\u00f3rny elicit from them? What we are looking for is a new vision of the place \u2013 independent, revealing a different meaning, formulated in short video narrations, visual essays, installations, sound histories.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

May the tales and legends invented anew allow us to discover together the identity of today\u2019s Wrzeszcz.<\/p>
