From noon until midnight
Exhibition: Rosemberg Sandoval, Labriego
Curated by Anna Róg
29 April – 12 June 2022
Entrance fee: PLN 1
For the first time in Poland, Łaźnia CCA presents the work of Rosemberg Sandoval, one of the pioneers and most important representatives of performance in Colombia and South America, whose transgressive art addresses the issues of morality, death, exile and memory. Sandoval’s art testifies to the violence and conflicts in which his country has been immersed for decades. Performance art is his way of political expression. Sandoval uses his body to go beyond the conventional, infringing on and violating his audience’s aesthetic comfort. His artistry combines the crude and the poetic.
The title of the exhibition, Labriego, refers to something extremely important in Colombia: the relationship with the land. Social inequalities, brutal displacements of the peasant population, illegal extraction of raw materials, forced cultivation and harvest of coca – all these social problems are related to land management. Labriego is a peasant without land who works for someone else, is poorly paid, and has no access to a pension, healthcare, or education.

Workshops for children (aged 6-10): Is that a robot or a visitor from outer space?
Moderator: Barbara Secke
Workshop room 1, Laznia CCA 1
Entrance free, limited number of places – register with k.gruba@laznia.pl
For the Long Night of Museums 2022, we have prepared a creative art workshop for children who love creating, building, and inventing new protagonists and their worlds. During the workshop, kids will be able to create their own characters, their history, and the scenery around them. During the class, children will work with suggested materials, including 3D-printed ModiBot figures. So what are we building? A robot or a visitor from outer space?

Selection of experimental shorts from the IN OUT Festival
Curated by Jolanta Woszczenko
Cinema room, Łaźnia 1 CCA
Entrance fee: PLN 1
A selection of experimental short films from all over the world that were awarded or shortlisted at the IN OUT Festival between 2015 and 2020. The IN OUT Festival has been organized regularly by the Łaźnia Centre for Contemporary Art since 2005. Each edition includes an open international competition for experimental short films. Most recently, festival authors were asked to explore the interdisciplinary character of experimental film, dance, theatre, music and architecture. During the screening, viewers will be able to observe the changes in experimental film resulting from the impact of new media and other means of expression. The project is supported by the Marshal of the Pomeranian Province and the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk.

Exhibition: Julia Tymańska, Pop-a-cola
Curated by Anna Szynwelska

The project forms part of Windows 2022. New Phenomena series
During the Long Night of Museums, the LKW Gallery (a lorry jammed under the flyover on Szopy Street) will be handed over to young Gdańsk-based artist Julia Tymańska. This graduate of the Faculty of Painting, Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk, works with broadly understood visual arts, looking for a language to express contents and thoughts for which human speech is too limited. Pop-a-cola is a follow-up to her series Shindig, a set of various objects inspired by pop cultural icons. Julia Tymańska focuses on our active participation in consumerist culture. She tries to go beyond the canvas and break away from traditional values without losing the essence of painting. In her actions, she tries to not limit herself by subject or form. She takes up everyday narratives, combining elements of (sub)cultural zones familiar to her.
The main element of the exhibition is a painted object modelled on a bottle of Coke, or its cheaper alternative, Cola, presented in solidified form – still a product, but already waste.

Exhibition: Enrique Ježik - My Century
Curated by Agnieszka Kulazińska
Official opening: 6 p.m.
14.05-19.06.2022
Admission free.
Enrique Ježik is a contemporary Argentinian artist who has lived and worked in Mexico for almost twenty years. His multidisciplinary work addresses aspects of power and manipulation through information on the part of mass media. The artist focuses on exploring the forms and strategies of violence: wars, urban demonstrations, manipulation of information, use of weapons and small everyday supervision mechanisms in monitoring systems. In his work, Ježik uses destructive actions to expose the processes of violence that characterise our time. The project presented at Łaźnia 2 CCA will be based on Günter Grass’s book My Century and will represent the artist’s reaction to the neo-Nazi ideology.
7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.

For lovers of cinematic shorts, we’ve got five short films shortlisted for the Oscars. Viewers will get to know Henrik, who for some reason has to sing karaoke at all cost, and Mateo, who is literally in a dead-end situation, without a way out in sight. They will discover the desires of short-statured Julia, a roadside motel employee whose life changes when she meets a handsome truck driver; the fears of a British family, whose quiet life is blown to pieces in a fraction of a second; and the dilemmas of teenage Sezim from Kirgizstan, who needs to choose between freedom and respect for tradition.

Titane | 2021 | 108’ | Belgium/France | dir. by Julia Ducournau
Finally, we have something for all lovers of experimental, thought-provoking cinema d’auteur that leaves you with more questions than answers. The main protagonist of French director Julia Ducournau’s film is a girl named Alexia, who had a titanium plate inserted in her skull following a car crash. Years later, the now grown-up Alexia fires the imagination of toxic guys who admire her half-naked body writhing on beautiful cars. There’s something wrong with Alexia, though – her internal fracture pushes her to play ever riskier games with men and machines that inevitably lead to an orgy of violence. At one point, Alexia moves too far in her desires to cross all borders and finally find her real self.
Entrance fee to Laznia 1 CCA and KinoPort: 1 zloty. Admission to other events is free of charge.
