Slot Art Festival 2014 - Guidebook

GUIDEBOOKGUIDEBOOKGUIDEBOOKGUIDEBOOK

Freedom is a word, which has been declinated by every case in the last months. It is desired by everyone and for many it is something priceless. But what does the word mean for us, personally? What value does it have for us, immersed in consumptive-corporative world? Do we feel that we have it or not at all? Its multi-dimensionality doesn’t help in giving easy answers to these and many other questions. Bu freedom is what allows us to ask them. Moreover, it forces us to make choices. It depends on us how we think and how we realize our thoughts. Freedom is a source of infinite possibilities…

You have 5 unique days ahead of you and your free will as well. How you use that time is entirely up to you. What will you “develop a taste” for? What will you experience? Will you learn something more about yourself? What will you bring in the lives of other? What will you share with them? What will they learn from you? The quality of the next days will be determined by your choices. Your heart is free, have the courage to follow it.

WATERPath charted for those of us, who like more niche kind of things, demanding focus, reflection and commitment. Recommended by Andrzej Horyza.

WINDPath for people who like strong flavo-urs. What does that mean? Rocking, expansive self-expression, desire to personally contribute, not only to take from the others. Recommended by Tomasz Bogowski.

FIRESWAG is just a key word. If you know it there is a great Chance you will deem this path the best for yourself. You are looking for good fun, do not feel like serious meditation, enjoy, YOLO. Recommended by Marcin Młynek.

EARTHPath created with travellers, world-curious people, concerned with its future in mind. Recommended by Kasia i Łukasz Kaleta.

PATHES

We are all unique, have different tastes and different moods. That’s why when cre-ating the programme for SAF we try to include something for everyone here. The consequence is a huge amount of items on the programme. To help you find the most interesting propositions, we have create 4 programme paths. The paths refer to spe-cified palette of our preferences, characters and moods. Each one of the paths is of course a subjective selection done by its curators. To categorize them some way we have given them names of the four elements:

If you are interested in any of the paths, look for the corresponding icons in the headlines of particular programme items.

Tuesday, 8.07KRZIKOPA, 20:30Krzikopa bases on traditional sound of Upper Silesia and mixes them with such contemporary genres as: electro, metal, DN’B. Musicians themselves say about their compositions: Formerly in Silesia when people felt like dancing a bit, they gathered in one hut and bandsmen would play Silesian songs for them, in which there were all of the elements of the culture of Upper Silesia. There is nothing like that today. Krzikopa confronts this situation by putting cultural authenticity of „Silesian ditties” into the contemporary meaning of words „let’s go party”. KARI, 21:45Polish artist, producer, singer and songw-riter, by journalists considered a hope of polish alternative scene. Two years after success of her debut album Wounds And Bruises (both real. by NEXTPOP). Charismatic vocals of Kari mixes up with a broad range of sounds, from tribal beats to electro and sounds of the 80’s. This march song The One was placed for a week on the BBC Radio 1 playlist as a part of the “BBC Introducing” series and gathered very good reviews from well-known British radio show hosts.LUXTORPEDA, 23:00It somehow almost always happened in the last years, that when Luxtorpeda released an album – it appeared at Slot Art Festival. Their thrilling concerts in 2011 and 2012 will be continued in 2014! This time with the new material from last. LUXTORPEDA band was created in 2010 on the initiative of Robert Friedrich, guitarist and vocalist

The musician invited guitarist Robert Drężek, bass guitarist Krzysztof Kmiecik, formerly associated with Armia and 2Tm2,3 formation, drummer Tomasz Krzyżaniak, formerly known from Turbo and Armia, and in 2011 during recording of the album the group was complemented by Przemysław Frencel, rapper known from hip-hop duo 52 Dębiec.As usual during Luxtorpeda concert you can expect a powerful dose of energy!

Wednesday, 9.07NUTEKI 20:30The band was formed in Moscow in 2007 as an initiative of two blokes from Bela-rus (Misha & Motya). From the beginning it was characterized by an one-off style, called SHOW-ROCK, because of spectacu-lar performances to the music created by the band. They draw inspiration from eve-ryday life – from real feelings, challenges, problems and dreams. „If you play rock, do it right, be creative, break stereotypes” – this is the credo of NUTEKI. Faith and hope, that their dream about world-wide career will come true fuel them, despite harsh reality they have to live in. aTOM, 21:45The aTOM band is an initiative of four experienced rock musicians, co-operating formerly with Marcin Rozynek, Rainfo-rest, Leaf or Frühstück. aTOM’s music is an original rock sound, firmly set in interesting guitar harmonies and fresh lyrics, raising important issues complete the picture.

24 MAIN STAGE

be preceded by a promotional single and a music video for the song Nie mogę Cię zapomnieć (I can’t forget you). The albu-m’s producer is Robert „Litza” Friedrich.GOORAL, 23:00No one has to be reminded who Gooral is, who performed at two years ago. Pieces from his debut solo album Ethno Elektro had mightily swayed the festival audience, and in the corridors for a long time after one could hear talks of one of the best concerts in the history of the festival. At the beginning of 2014 Gooral came back with a new album: Better Place, sealing his cooperation with Anną Wiosna Ro-gowska and Maciej Kamer Szymonowicz. Gooral is a producer, sound generator and trendsetter when it comes to com-bining electro, dubstep and d’n’b with highlanderness. He performed including others at the festivals: Woodstock, Ope-n’er, Cooke, Red Bull X Fighters, Sziget, Colours of Ostrava, before Nowa Muzyka, Terra Polska and of course SLOT ART FE-STIVAL. Here as well Gooral hasn’t said his last sentence, it’s more like he’s just beginning to warm up…

Thursday, 10.07Laureate of Contest Stage, 20:00BOŽJE OVČICE 20:45The band was formed in 2009 in Croatian town Koprivnica. The break-through hap-pened in autumn 2013, when the world met their first long play album Beee re-leased by polish label Dobry Towar Re-cords from Warsaw. Fast drum parts and characteristic vocals define the band in the Hard Core/Punk genre. The band per-formed many times in Poland, incl. with: Luxtorpeda, Armia or Maleo Reggae Roc-kers, giving in total about 65 concerts. For Božje Ovčice very important is the possi-bility to play live concerts, because with their music they send a positive message.

HABAKUK PLAYS KACZMARSKI 21:45Perfectly known to fans of reggae music band Habakuk will perform this year at SAF with a concert dedicated to Jacek Kaczmar-ski, the greatest polish bard, deceased for 10 years. Released in 2007 A ty siej… (And you shall sow…) album with songs of Kacz-marski in reggae versions echoed strongly in whole Poland. It turned out, that lyrics written by our bard fit ideally to Caribbean sounds, which has been proved by great reviews and friendly reception both among reggae fans and enthusiasts of Kaczmar-ski’s creations.The band formed in 1990 in Częstochowa and ceaselessly shows its best side to the fans of reggae music and others. For the band most important was always concer-ting, in total for all years the band has given almost 1000 concerts. The band played at the biggest festival in the world, as a first band from Eastern Europe – in 2007 they performed at the British Glastonbury.O.S.T.R., 23:00Musician, rapper, composer, producer, vio-linist.

It wasn’t his first contact with music though – he plays violin since he was a child. He is a graduate of Academy of Music in Łódź and a laureate of several renowned conte-sts. His legend was formed mainly thanks to concerts, during which he improvises, free-styles (the best in Poland) and has an lively dialogue with the audience. In 2001 his solo album Masz to jak w banku came out. In 13 years O.S.T.R. released 15 albums, this year with well-known New York producer Marco Polo.

Friday, 11.07Laureate of Contest Stage, 20:00WHITE COLLAR SIDESHOW, 20:45„Insanity with elements of vaudeville” – this best describes the performances of a formation created in 2006 in Fort Smith, Arkansas (locality known for gallows). White Collar Sideshow sweeps audience all over the world with dark, original atmosphere with elements of horror. Group consists of: TD Benton – vocals and drums, Herr Schwein ham-mers and drums, special effects – Leech, supported by bass guitar player Faceless Woman. The band has released an album called WitcHunt. It is described as extre-me, haunted, awesome and spectacular.MIKROMUSIC, 21:45Marek Niedźwiecki said about them: “Mi-kromusic group is completely different than our whole national musical scene”. Their music distinguishes itself with nu-jazz stylistic, reaching for such styles as jazz, trip hop, pop. From the beginning the band was rooted for by leading Polish musicians, not rarely supporting their work on albums. On their debut disc Mi-kromusic many valued artists appeared including Leszek Możdżer, multiinstru-mentalist Sambor Dudziński, accordionist Piotr Dziubek.Leszek Możdżer, jazz pianist: „We have to create our own output, we have to express ourselves in our own language, we shouldn’t stand in a line of imitators. In my opinion that is exactly what Micro-music does.” Formation from Wrocław perfectly proves itself during concerts. The power of their talent and original arrangements they create an unique microclimate, constructing a particular bond with the audience.

NO LONGER MUSIC, 23:00Unique message, unusual show, fantastic contact with the audience – those are the trademarks of NLM. Recognized on 5 continents, gathering fans in dozens of countries, shocking in their works, living legend – No Longer Music! The band has performed for the first time in 1987.at the Festival in Jaro-cin. With the rise of popularity of NLM in Poland, their music has been changing, becoming more and more mature. Arti-sts by creating music at the same time undertake paratheatrical actions on stage. What we’ll see can be described as: post-grunge/psycho-punk theatre. No Longer Music is not only music and the-atre – it’s a passion crossing aesthetical boundaries. Crossing all boundaries to carry their message.

Saturday, 12.07Laureate of Contest Stage, 20:00TRIPLE STITCH, 21:45The band started its career with recor-ding of The Rock N’ Roll EP in 2009.

In 2010 it released an album This is Re-bellion, animating uncontrollable punk rock n’ roll with high riffs and aggressive vocals. This album is not only an expres-sion of rebellious attitude towards socie-ty of modern days, but also of hope to solve the problems of everyday life, that the society is struggling with.

In the last years the band has released two albums: Quiet in 2012 and Story in 2014RAS LUTA, 23:00Ras Luta is probably the most recogni-zable vocalist of the reggae scene in Poland. For 8 years now associated with Eastwest Rockers, at the same time de-veloping his solo career. At the beginning of March 2013 his second solo album Uratuj siebie (Save yourself) came out.While resting from musical experiments, that the Eastwest Rockers are known for, Luta created a very coherent and noble sounding album, strongly accen-ting the sounds of live instruments with vocals excellently produced. Embedded in reggae tradition material refers to the roots and rub-a-dub music – classical Ja-maican sounds, that the voice of Ras Luta naturally bonds together with accents of electronics and r’n’b.

36 HC PUNK CLUB


Tuesday, 8.07 THIS NOISE – hc/rock/punk - playing since 2012, the representative scene of Wroclaw. Melodic hardcore punk-rock. To shake your body and give you energy.ONE TRILLION DREAMS – emo lyri-cal punk – Do you want to move and be moved? Songs for sensitive boys and sensitive girls. Emo lyrical lyrics and melodies with hardcore-punk twist. They formed in 2008 and released one EP Jeden Trylion Snów (one trillion dreams).

Wednesday, 9.07

HOPE AGAINST HOPE - spirit filled hc – They come from hard-core / punk backgrounds but their big-gest inspiration is the person of Jesus. In their music they combine energy and melody with reality of God in their hearts. Concrete music with concrete message.

Antiperspirant won’t help, one song and you will melt.

Thursday, 10.07

NIESTETY – punk – Fortunately there are still bands that blast punk rock like in the good old days. And they are not some old hands, but quite a young crew. Without needless musical acrobatics. “simply played, simple rhythm, simple beat, simple play” quoting the classics of the genre :) We are not in the opera after all, it’s all about being loud, fast and to scream out a couple important things. FIVE SECONDS TO LEAVE - post rock Czech skupina, which trans-fers us into the land of post rock, but we will find a good deal of sludge, ambient, drone elements. Psychedelic, composi-tions dragging in like quick-sand. Pene-trating virtually epic atmosphere, com-

positions lazily unfolding transform into a storm of sounds. Monumentality. Dark, mysterious music. .

Friday, 11.07

FATE - punky reggae – It’s a band that gained quite a popularity in the ‘90s on indepen-dent scene. Then they rocked exceptio-nally and now – after a long break – they come back to performing. In their music they mix melodic punk rock with ele-ments of reggae. Their lyrics bear strong message, that doesn’t leave people indif-ferent, that moves the hearts, and after all that’s the most important thing!REGRES - hardcore-punk – Sincerity, message, in-volvement, noise, that brings about a lot of positive emotions. For many years on stage, but still with the same passion and consequence in creating sound, that move and inspire. Their trademark are very spontaneous and energetic con-certs, during which there is no place for divisions, exclusion, exclusivity. It’s their second visit at SLOT and they are very happy about it.

Saturday. 12.07

HAŃBA - interwar folk-punk – The group con-sists of four musicians with sizeable experience playing in folk (Bumtrala-la, Iglika, Południca!), punk (Ziemniaki), metal (Crowmoth), indie-rock (SuperXiu, Two Red Triangles)and even electronic (UnitraProdiż) bands. Together they’ve decided to create a band that is a musical fiction, a kind of time machine taking the listeners into the interwar Poland. Armed with an instrumentarium of a street band they play energetic, simple punk inspi-


red by Polish folklore on one hand and modern achievements on the other. GARS - post hc - Hard, dark and trans-y, piercing vocals and a pinch of melancholy. Sounds erupting like a volcano but at moments it’s calm and delicate. Very mature music, perfected sound and the poetics of lyrics hit like a 200-hundred-pound hammer. This music machine rolls slowly, crushing everything in its way.

55EXHIBITIONS

Grzegorz ”Forin” Piwnicki graphic designer, Graduate of the Depart-ment of Graphics of Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw (diploma with merit in the studio of prof. Lech Majewski 2011). He experiments with various media. Cre-ates installations, social projects. He has already published many works in Poland and abroad as well as numerous individual projects. “Project freedom is a grassroots social action. When I started this project, I tho-ught that I knew what freedom is. I knew what stood behind it, what is not freedom. I was wrong. First description went to gar-bage, it wouldn’t do, because it limited the freedom of others and I wanted to touch the essence somehow. This seemingly easy question became a prison for some and a sad journey to the unreachable.”

Willem Zijlstra lives in Bussum , a village near Amsterdam. He gained his education in a college of Rie-tveld Academy in Amsterdam. Willem Zijl-stra started his artistic career as an illustra-tor and painter, later he started working in bronze, wood and other materials. He also took up conceptual art. His works were displayed in many galleries, incl. Museum in Laren, Catharijneconvent Museum in Utrecht, Pons Institute in Madrid.

Katarzyna Gauer Student of Art University in Poznań, spe-cialising in painting, gained scholarship of the Minister of Culture and National Heri-tage. He took part in many individual and group exhibitions, incl. Poznań, Warsaw,

Toruń, Plymouth. She has already gained prizes and commendations in all-Poland art and photography contests. „Subjective space picture series refers to my own experiences and subjectivity of events remembered from my past. In created fragments of painting composition I find similarities with shapes known to me or places where I have already been. I go back to my memories from the past, spaces where I spent my childhood or where I have been “for a moment”. The goal of my works is striving towards such viewings of space, that in its object rela-tions touched the searches in the field of generalisation. While painting I try to annex territories subjectively relevant, enlivening imagination, which allow me to write in my own self in the frames of picture represen-tations.”

YELLO [yellonus creativus] YELLO [yellonus creativus] - - spec. of mammal from the artistae family (order: creativa); one of the relics of the era of real artists [magificus artistis]; most often he travels in herds; its presence in the area is signalised by spatial installations; the species has particularly preferred the area near the entrance to ArtCathedral, where it occurs in a natural habitat; characteristic trait are the sounds made by the animal in the time between June and the end of July; popular methods of luring YELLO from its lair is calling out, shouting and singing; the species is known for its creative passion and is well-adaptable in the environment of friendly people.

SLOT ART CATHEDRAL – THE SPACE OF FREEDOM“But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” Jas 1:25.Presenting their work:

56 EXHIBITIONS

Kinga PudełekThe graduate of the Social High School of Arts. Photography accompanies her for years, she majored in that field this year. Her passion is painting, which is also her route to escape from reality. Multimedia techniques are hey way to earn a living„In the movie everyone can dream I attemp-ted to present my view on dreams. Using one character and keeping one steady frame I wanted to keep the form simple for the benefit of broader content. In my work I focus on dreams, to which many people doesn’t pay too much attention.

Katarzyna Wyrembelska, The graduate of painting on the Art Univer-sity in Poznań. The artists’ works are cha-racterized by expression and great sensitivi-ty to colour and matter. Her contrary, often grotesque way of seeing the world, which we can find both in the field of painting and animation, is supposed to make the viewer reflect – in this case – on the question of the freedom of man in 21st century.

Rafał Nowak Graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań. He graduated with merit in the studio of sculpture of prof. Józef Kopczyń-ski. He presented his works on many exhibi-tions, incl. Gdańsk, Wrocław, Berlin, Ottawa. Prized many times, among others artistic prize of the city of Poznań. Author of e.g. The “Freedom” fountain on the square of Freedom in Poznań and the “Mars” fountain on the Old Marketplace in Poznań.

Karolina Pilawa - Student of graphic design. Perfectionist. Specializes in constellations. Acute ob-server of humans. Output complicated.

Pastel and delicate. Artistic goal: hidden moralisation Installation title: Soul – The Way to Freedom.

Tomek Soin Graphic designer, illustrator, musician. Studied at the Architecture Department of the University of Science in Warsaw. He is active in Steiger International. “The exhibi-tion, being the part of the WAYOUT project, is a contemporary reference to the Way of the Cross, but showing the way to the cross from the point of view of ordinary man. This way leads through experiences, that everybody is touched by in his life and that were not unfamiliar also to Jesus: fear, burden, resentment, treason, etc. His ultimate goal was however something much more positive, that’s why the road left open is the road to the exit”

Ewa Boguszewska Graduated from Art University in Poznań from the Department of Painting. Mono-chromatic paintings, created with traditio-nal ink technique are the attempt to find the record of the processes taking place inside, thoughts not yet formed by the verbal language by throwing out the excess of signs, gestures, set-ups. Specific langu-age of spots opens up a new dimension of connotations by reaching to the memory, imagination, spirituality, expresses the fight between familiarizing and resenting, integration and separation, calmness and chaos, silence and the jabber of words.

For the 10th time you can profit from the space filled by scents of tea from all around the world. During the day it is a peaceful oasis of inspiration, while the nights sound like the warm rhy-thms of Jamaica. We owe this place to the Czech TENTWORK team.

In the evening we’d like to carry you away to have fun in the stardust. Come to the Carriage House for a real Cosmos! From 8 a.m. until the last client.

WIRYDARZ location 47Wirydarz seems to be the quietest place of the festival. Here you can talk to new-ly-met Slotters or recall the good times with old friends while drinking some great coffee or aromatic tea of our own con-ception. This is also the heart of the mo-nastery. Here you will find the cold walls in the heat and the warmth of candles in a rainy evening. Come here during the day and step by at night. Listen to the concerts, stop for a while and talk with our team – we are here for you! And then keep on run-ning – there is so much to see after all!

INDIAN COURTYARD Chai Loungelocation 48A place where you can feel the oriental Indian atmosphere. Apart from nice chats and the chillout zone we want to show you India seen through the eyes of different people: photographers, social workers, do-ctors, travelers, businessmen, clergymen, musicians, street children and average ci-tizens. We have collected their thoughts, photographs, music and experiences in order to show you. You will hear what the media don’t talk about and see what is in-accessible for an average tourist. During the whole festival also: Two Faces of India exhibition and Indian bazaar.

67This text is an attempt to express what is important for those who create SLOT.

It’s a combination of many different perspectives that partially describe reality and partially portray dreams and aspirations.

# CREATIVITY AND DEVELOPMENTWe’re interested in creativity. Change, movement and development are

all parts of the art of life that we want to master.If we decide that we’ve attained those attributes it will be a sign

that we’re lost. We don’t only want to react. The passion, energy, lightness and beauty we find when we create is missing in reaction.

We need and seek inspiration and we want to be that for others.

# FREEDOM We offer a standing invitation to be authentic, to be exactly who you are. There is

richness in our diversity. A second word must be used along with freedom- responsibility. Responsibility for people and other creatures which live with us

and alongside us as well as for the space we inhabit.

# MEETINGIt’s possible to pass by, but it’s also possible to meet.

We choose the latter. We can desire to understand and to be understood. Out of these options we prefer the first.

SLOT is like a mountain shelter where travelers meet. Their meeting is important regardless of the path

they’ve chosen or the goal they’ve set.

# LOVEWe base our activities on relationships, friendships and community.

This conscious attempt to look beyond “my wants” or “my needs” whether as individuals or in groups is most important.

This is what gives meaning to our work. Love is very practical. It’s the awareness and desire to stop for someone when

everything is pushing us forward. If there is ever a final evaluation of our lives, without a doubt we will be questioned about this

# GODWe believe in Jesus. It’s simple but not always the same.

This is our foundation and the deeper we go in it, the more our inspiration flows for creativity, for justice, for freedom

and to be ourselves with others and for others.Much also flows from this foundation for those

of us who think and believe differently.Things get muddled when we forget that “only the important things

are important’, that it’s a journey and not a religion It’s good to remind ourselves of this then.
