Made in Shipyard: from shipbuilding to filmmaking

Friday 26th March, 2010

Vivid | 19:00

A programme of artist's films and music videos from Gdańsk, curated by Roma Piotrowska

Gdańsk's shipyard in northern Poland is currently overgrown with vegetation. In a few years, most of the historic buildings will be razed to the ground and the shipyard built over. Recently it became home to several artists who are fascinated by its space and history.  The Solidarity movement is historically tied to the shipyard but the artists working there are concerned with more immediate subjects relating to the site itself. This programme brings together some of the most interesting films made by shipyard's residents including Johan Strauss, Jack Southern, Grzegorz Klaman, Maciek Szupica and Ania & Adam Witkowski whose installation piece Past will be shown alongside, in the lobby of Vivid.
