From Artistic Director - Michal Imielski:
We are expanding. In 2011 we are on a look out for collaboration between artists, scientist, businessman, philosophers, thinkers, writers, workers, environmentalists, politicians... everybody that sees value in art and creation of art. We want to create more site-specific art, more hybrid forms of art, films... more art that is both exciting and ‘new’ in terms of its form and/or thought.
