On Friday, 20 October 2006
://selfportrait – a show for Bethlehem – a show for Peace
was inaugurated at “the place of art – **OFFICYNA**“
as the starting event in the framework of
**Performance and Intermedia Festival** Szczecin/ Poland (20-22 October 2006)
Now the review and the image documentation are posted online —>

—>
From its historical and structural conditions, **Szczecin** was certainly a good choice for presenting our show for **Peace**. The city has a very changing history and was nearly completely destroyed in World War II. After the war there was not much to be reconstructed, and in this way the contemporary city is presenting itself strangely faceless without a real or historically grown city center. Everywhere are broken links visible and wounds which do not heal.
Since centuries German until the end of World War II in 1945, Szczecin became Polish afterwards. The city can certainly not be called a “place of art”, the few existing museums get lost in the strange architectural conglomerate.
Maybe this was the reason, why the founders of **Officyna** – a non profit art space, located somewhere decentrally in the suburbs of Szczecin – wanted to create a special “place of art”, i.e OFFICYNA, in order to give contemporary art expression a home and a space.
Nearly consequently, it is also Officyna which is organising divers festival events during a year, whereby a particular relevance got “Performance and Intermedia Festival”, an event which is curated by Antoni Karwowski, an internationally reknown Szczecin based performance and visual artist and organiser and independent curator of performance events since many years.
In 2005, I was curating for the 2005 festival edition a selection from VideoChannel for screenings during in the video section of the festival PI 5 Videofestival, and invited Antoni Karwowski for particiting in the show for Bethlehem. Later, he invited me to present the exhibition in Szczecin as the frist venue after Bethlehem.

Although the art space of **OFFICYNA** seemed to be a good place especially also for installing the selfportrait exhibition, during the installation phase these peope showed how they understood the term “professional”.
In contrary to what was agreed, the technical equipment and the needed exhibition components were not available or prepared in any way. Instead of starting the exhibition installation when I arrived at Szczecin, I was standing for two days in the icecold exhibition space waiting and waiting, and nobody knew what would be happening else than waiting, resulting that I caught a heavy cold, which was forced also by the icecold hotel room without any heating and partially also without electricity.
I do not want to go more in details in order to remain contructive, as in the end one minute before the vistors entered the gallery space for the opening precedure, the exhibition setup was finished. Inspite of all restrictions, I would say it was a very nice exhibition and a lot of feedback from the visitors confirmed by subjective impression.
The inauguration on **20. October** was not standing for itself, but represented the start of PI Performance and Intermedia Festival, a festival organised at different locations.
The selfportrait exhibition represented the main part of the Intermedia section, besides some video installations which were set up in another exhibition space located in a separate building, but installed only during the festival days 20-22 October.
The next item after the two openings was the screening of videos as the part of **PI Video Festival,** whereby Agricola de Cologne, me, was the first who was starting the video screening. He presented a selection of **Cologne OFF I – genderscapes**, a selection of videos and short film dealing with gender issues and sexual identity.
**Antoni Karwowski**, the organiser and curator of the festival video section, was presenting his selection afterwards consisting of short videos with a duration of not more han 5 minutes.
The second day of the festival, 21 October, changed the festival location, the second part of the screenings and the extensive performance event took place at the **National Museum** of Szczecin, a volumious building originating from 19th century.
The evening started with the second screening curated by Agricola de Cologne–> Cologne OFF II – image vs music at the screening and event hall of the museum, followed by an unusual form of organising artists performances.
At midnight, the main performance section of the festival followed. The gigantic museum entrance hall was modified and used for presenting a dozen of performances simultaneously.
On one hand, the visitor has a wide choice between different performance works, but at the same time he got completely confused, and he did not know on which performance he should concentrate and prevent that he is missing anything. No chance, the visitor was really missing everything, if he is not concentrating from the beginning on one certain performance piece.
For me, who is no expert in the art of performance, I had my problems to value the single performance pieces as I tried to catch as many impressions from all the 12 peformances as possible.
Anyway, I think some of the participating artists should be mentioned individually.
Even I saw only short cuts, the excellence of some artists presentations could not be overviewed –> **Antoni Karwowski (Poland), Valerian Maly (Switzerland), Andrzej Pawelczyk (Poland) and Chip for Peace (Poland)**. An artist who was really suffering from the unusual presentation form was the Berlin based CAP Grundheber, her performance located somewhere in the shadow between the huge columns of the museum architecture, and some other younger artists were also acting nearly without an audience. This is and was a pity.

On the 3rd day, 22 October, the festival was moving to another place – Swinouscije (German: SwinemÃ¼nde) a place at the Baltic sea situated directly at the German/Polish boarder, where Andrzej Pawelczyk was organising a festival of art in action. Here the second screening of Antoni Karwowski’s curated selection took place and another performance section whereby the performance pieces followed the rather traditional way of presenting, one piece after another.

At the end of this small report, I would like to thank three artists for being present personally in Szczecin on occation of the inauguration of the selfportrait show, i.e **Moon Na (South Korea), Marlen Karlen (Switzerland) and Antoni Karwowski (Szczecin)**, who did not need to travel far.

Here are some images documenting

Szczecin

Szczecin is the 2nd venue for Wilfried exhibition project “self-portrait – a show for Bethlehem- a show for Peace”, inaugurated on 6 July in Bethlehem/Palestine. The idea behind is, that artists show face via their self-portraits executed in different digital disaciplines – pointing to the desolate inhuman conditions, the Palestinians are living at the Westbank. Wilfried got the idea for this project when he was realising in 2005 the first Internet based media art project in Palestine – Bethlehem is one of City of Cologne’stwin cities. The exhibition in Bethlehem had been a big success, and Wilfried is very happy that his peace initiative in shape of an exciting art exhibition in an unconventional format will be shown after Szczecin in Naples/Italy at Casoria Contemporary Art Museum in December 2006 and also in December a clone of the show will be presented at MAC – Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Fe and MACRO – Museum of Contemporary Art Rosario, starting in February 2007.
The original project interface guiding the visitors through the exhibition was created in Flash, unfortunately this multimedia software allowing to create intuitive Internet based applications will be discontinued on 31 December 2020, but will be in 2021 available in a recontructed version.

Officyna Art Space Szczecin/Poland

In the beginning there was a place. Space - almost 1000 m² at ul. Lenartowicza 3-4 - which in the following years became a symbol of our activity, was discovered in 1998. This place released the energy of people connected with a common idea. The original face of the place of art was created by members of the Informal Group, Lech Karwowski and Piotr Klimek. This early period was marked by activities "from the outside", the import of creativity for which Szczecin had so far lacked a place. In the following years - from 2000 - OFFicyna became more and more the creator of the profile "from the inside". Today, it is primarily the people who create it. OFFicyna's profile is the sum of our passions and skills. These people are a huge set of individuals with different interests, education and know-how.
[caption id="attachment_12508" align="alignnone" width="900"] Officyna Art Space

They are creators, curators, organizers - these provenance often intertwine. They are also journalists, scientists, publishers, managers, community workers, volunteers, lawyers and specialists in obtaining external funds. OFFicyna's potential is the competence, invention and commitment of people associated with it. OFFicyna is multi-faceted. He deals with contemporary art. However, since - as we believe - it is impossible to deal with all its manifestations, OFFicyna explores art as an element of everyday life. We are practitioners, we do not deal with the theoretical definition of our activity, leaving this issue to specialists. We meet the terms "social art", "relational art", "artistic and social activities." We are aware that our initiatives are often perceived as a form of spending free time, entertainment or social prevention. We perceive ourselves as a "modern place" - this concept was used by art critic Magdalena Lewoc in 2003 in the catalog published on the occasion of the 5th anniversary of m / s OFFicyna. We are also referred to as "social place", "first contact place" - or simply "place of art" .

The place itself is an important element of our identity. It enabled, implied or modulated many of our actions. Today we visit Lenartowicza less often than we would like. Whether it will ever be possible to run the center again, we do not know. We are trying to describe OFFicyna with this publication. We do it mainly from today's point of view, although most of the texts and photos concern our entire history so far. We are aware that some areas have richer literature or iconography, that many aspects of OFFicina have changed over time - just like the people associated with us. This multifaceted nature means that our business is complex. Its individual elements cannot be seen separately from others. There is no point in looking for an "art exhibition department" or "education department" in OFFicyna. The actions themselves often cross the categories according to which we talk about what we do. It happens that the invited artist implements a "own project" prepared with us, which is possible only in cooperation with a group of people on the basis of a "workshop", the effect of which is presented in the form of an exhibition in a "gallery" or other type of presentation such as "events" or "festival".

National Museum Szczecin

The National Museum in Szczecin

The Building of the National Museum in Szczecin at 3 Wa?y Chrobrego Street is one of the most renown and distinctive buildings of the city. It is in the centre of Wa?y Chrobrego architectural solution at the Oder river bank (former Hakenterrasse), according to a design by Wilhelm Meyer-Schwartau. The building was put into use in 1913 and until the end of World War II was the seat of the City Museum with exhibitions of archaeological and ethnographical collections, Pomeranian and European art, collections from Africa, Asia and Oceania and natural exhibits.

In Polish Szczecin it still functions as a museum, being firstly one of the buildings of the Museum of Western Pomerania, and since 1970 – the National Museum. It belongs to the most impressive museum buildings in Poland. One of Poland’s greatest collections of relics of non-European cultures is stored and exhibited here.

Selfportrait - a show for Peace

Officyna Art Space

20 Oct – 20 Nov 2006

://selfportrait – a show for Bethlehem
is the second media art exhibition project in Bethlehem/Palestine – initiated and curated by Agricola de Cologne, independent curator and director of
The New Museum of Networked Art.

This media art exhibition was initiated and organised on occasion and in the framework of 10th anniversary of the twincityship of the municipalities of Cologne/Germany & Bethlehem/Palestine to be shown first in Bethlehem at Al Kahf Gallery at Bethlehem International Center – 06-30 July 2006.

artvideoKOELN is proud to collaborate afterwards with Casoria Contemporary Art Museum Naples/Italy and the show to be inaugurated on 16 December 2006 as a message of peace to the world on occasion of Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem, whereby the clone to be exhibitited wil become a part of the permanent museum collection.

Through its relevance in three world religions, Bethlehem was during more than 2000 years a symbol for peace also beyond, but since some time Bethlehem and the entire Holy Land on the Westbank
is vanishing behind a huge wall as the result of a conflict in Middle East which is threatening world peace since many years.

By being present personally in Palestine after 2005 for the second time in 2006, Agriccola de Cologne and the incorporated artists are showing face through their selfportraits, via the show they artists overcome symbolically this wall which is separating Israel and Palestine, and become messengers of peace this way.

The show does not only transport the message of solidarity, but also the idea of a free and independent culture without borders, the use of New Media technology represents further a symbol for a new era for solving conflicts via communication. So, the exhibition becomes a contribution to peace on earth, there are conflicts in many parts on the globe, there virtual and physical walls everywhere to be overcome. Living in peace is a human right forming the basis for othzer human rights.

://selfportrait – a show for Bethlehem
incorporates about 350 artists and following aspects of New Media presented in physical space – digital prints to be installed in space or on walls, digital video via projections and installations, multi-media based on different technologies and sonic art via display on computer installation, and not to be forgotten, the artists statements via projection and display on monitors which give an idea about the visions of contemporary artists.
