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.
