CentrumCentrum is a garden and art/research space, located in Szczecin near the estuary of the Oder River, initiated in 2014 by Lukasz Jastrubczak and Malgorzata Mazur.  
We organize events, exhibitions, and spatial activities. We publish, create films, initiate discussions and games, translate, recycle, reconstruct, collaborate, take care of the soil and plants, and collect fruits  

We weave threads from the past into the present network of relations, activating various characters - unnoticed objects, missed events - trying to strengthen their position in the contemporary narrative. 

 

Critical of the financialization of art, we imagine and practice other ways of experiencing the uncanny. We are not interested in producing an object or event as a derivative and speculating on its value*. CentrumCentrum is a heretical institution for which the most important human measure is pleasure. We operate in an extended relationship with people, other animals, plants, events, objects, and texts. 


CentrumCentrum is a river. It has a memory of a river, and it connects with all rivers of the world.

 
 
 










* CentrumCentrum
 has an alternative way for financing its activities – The Capital of CentrumCentrum, which consists of 66 golden bars, made out of sprayed cardboard. In order to boost the value of that artificial gold, the capital had been exhibited in prominent institutions – museums - Neues Museum and Bode Museum in Berlin. Each person that works on behalf of CentrumCentrum, is reimbursed with one golden bar.
