CentrumCentrum

CentrumCentrum is an institution founded in 2014 in Szczecin, Poland, that seeks solutions for artistic practice, that are in line with the ethics of social ecology.
We organize events, exhibitions and workshops to experience relations between humans, other animals, plants, objects and texts.
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.
We publish, create a collection of objects and situations, initiate discussions, conduct workshops, translate, recycle, reconstruct, collaborate, take care of the soil and plants and collect fruits.
CentrumCentrum is a river. It has a memory of a river and it is connected with all rivers of the world. CentrumCentrum is situated in an assemblage of forces that create, destroy, care for, constantly change, support, empathize, negotiate its position.
CentrumCentrum is a heretical institution for which the most important human measure is pleasure.

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.
