The priority is to stimulate a > vigorously innovative approach to the concept of urban life taking into > account the sociological evolution and people's needs. > Artecitya groups 9 co-organizers from around Europe (Cyprus, Czech Republic, > France, Germany, Greece, Poland, Slovenia) devoted to planning and developing > towns and cities particularly regarding their architectural and artistic > content. Working side by side for several years on a rigorous programme of > activity, the partners have obtained practical experience and developed > methods of intervening in urban development directly involving artists, > architects, town planners and the local populations. > > Information about Laznia CCA (www.laznia.pl <http://www.laznia.pl/>): > The Laznia Centre for Contemporary Art was is a public cultural institution > established in 1998. Its mission is to show and promote contemporary art as a > means of expressing universal values, and an element of world cultural > heritage. The centre does so by presenting the latest developments in > contemporary art, showing the process of change that art is undergoing, > engaging cultural and social phenomena taking place around the world, and > educating in relation to these issues. Both Lower Town and Nowy Port > districts where the CCA Łaźnia branches are located are a part of local > revitalisation plan. One of the aim of the gallery is to engage strategies of > contemporary art in the renewal processes of the neighbourhood. Doing so we > are especially interested in the social impact of different artistic > activities. The gallery programme is based on one hand on the analyses of > issues of state of contemporary art, on the other on interrogation of culture > and education immersed in a social context. > > The entire 3rd floor of the newly rebuilt former bathhouse building in New > Port district of Gdańsk is dedicated to artists. The building consists also > of a gallery, cinema, library and workshop space, that can be all used by the > artists according to their needs. The living accommodation provides potential > for many types of Art based activities to take place such as discussions, > film screenings and social events. > Programme of artist residencies and research is a relatively new area of > activities in Łaźnia Centre for Contemporary Art. Invited artists go in line > with the main programs of the institution - art in public space, Art & > Science, initiating international exchange and dialogue. Residency program is > aimed at Polish and international artists. One of its main objectives is to > open space for creative dialogue. While developing individual residencies it > is important for us to build a network of collaboration with artists from > other disciplines, local communities, scientists and representatives of other > industries. > > One of the main areas of CCA Łaźnia residency programme are projects that > relate to socially engaged activities. The point of departure is to turn > upside down the asymmetrical relationship between a creator and the > recipient. The invited artists examine the role of art public and stimulate > the changes by engaging them at every stage of their work. > > Artecitya project supported by the European program Creative Europe 2014−2020.
