<\/strong>The exhibition includes works whose leitmotif consists in resistance or protesting. We are interested in various artistic strategies used in order to portray the lack of consent, the attempt of finding our own language in order to express our personal protest or to use our skills in order to promote issues that we deem right. The title of the exhibition, derived from the novel, \u201cThe Tin Drum\u201d written by the Nobel Prize Winner born in Gdansk, G\u00fcnter Grass, is announcing the general idea stemming from this literary work, and inspiring the exhibition at the G\u00fcnter Grass Gallery in Gdansk.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Not incidentally, the action of both the novel as well as the exhibition entitled \u201eI screamed\u2026\u201d takes place in Gdansk \u2013 a city of freedom, a place where workers\u2019 strike that resulted in overthrowing communism started. Resistance is a strong element of the local identity, and is a continuous point of reference for many contemporary authors. According to G\u00fcnter Grass himself, the whole \u201cDanzig Trilogy\u201d may be reduced to the opinion that it illustrates a \u201cdesperate and in general hopeless struggle of an individual.\u201d The main protagonist of \u201cThe Tin Drum\u201d – Oskar Matzerath \u2013 an anarchist, a dwarf-child that refused to grow, expresses himself in two peculiar ways: either banging on the drum or shattering glass by screaming and singing.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Symbols represented by Oskar have been interpreted by many scholars, including professor Maria Janion at the top of this list. The destructive power of scream is supposed to be identified with warning signs. On the other hand, this might also be a manifestation against the so-called \u2018elevated big talk,\u2019 which in turn is to represent the rage of a deceived and exploited generation. However, destruction might be equivalent to creation, to \u2018transgression into artistry,\u2019 which makes the screamer an artist standing in opposition to harmful ideologies, looking for a \u2018place from where something can be seen.\u2019 By providing the audience with his\/her point of view, the artist \u2013 similarly to Oskar in the novel \u2013 presents not only his\/her aesthetic delight of creation, but also the \u2018act of creation turned upside down,\u2019 resulting from some internal need, in defiance of the times that he\/she was born into. Therefore scream, being an act of creation, expresses life, while its particular intensity \u2013 the artistic instinct, is an embodiment of action, as opposed to the \u2018deathly silence.\u2019<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Grass\u2019s novel is an excellent example of a political and artistic metaphor. Another important element in thinking about the exhibition, is the article by Marek Krajewski, entitled \u201cDiscreet Disagreement. Resistance and Material Culture\u201d (Kultura Wsp\u00f3\u0142czesna<\/em> [Contemporary Culture] 2010). The author contrasts various forms of resistance against the pressure of the consumption overload present in the states with developed capitalist economy in the 1960s and 1970s, and in Poland during the first decades of the 21st<\/sup> century. During those few years that have passed since this article was published, there occurred so many changes in social and political life in Poland, that taking up the issue of disagreement with the surrounding reality seems to be important and topical for us. This exhibition is the voice of artists whose works are concerned with the resistance or expression of protest, being at the same time a reflection on real situations \u2014 both on a social scale as well as in private circumstances \u2014 where resistance or protest have taken place.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
