Cathy Carter and Matthew Cowan in Breathtaking: inSPIRACJE 2017 curated by Rob Garrett
Trafostacja Sztuki / Trafo Centre for Contemporary Art, Szczecin, Poland.
30 June —
30 September 2017
The idea of Szczecin attracting innovative thinkers under the evocative notion of a floating garden; together with Szczecin’s port character, nearness to the former Western Europe and emerging multi-culturalism; and the sense of possibility evoked by its wide open urban spaces and boulevards captured the imagination and influenced the thinking of New Zealand born and Poland-based curator Rob Garrett. The art projects of Breathtaking: inSPIRACJE 2017 Festival are characterised by gallery exhibitions as well as public sites outside the gallery.
Breathtaking brings attention to Szczecin’s watery character and history; and to breath as a shared life force. Breathtaking gathers ideas and experiences as diverse as floating, sinking, thirst, taking breath, inspiration, water gardens, living on the river, rising water levels, flood plains, environmentalism, post-industrial riverine landscapes, borders, migrations, bodily and social rituals, bathing and watery wildness. Artists include New Zealanders Cathy Carter and Matthew Cowan amongst other international artists.
