Organizers of the open air session: Iwona Zając, Ewa Majewska, Ellyn Southern, Szczym, Marcin Choroszman An exhibition concluding the International Open Air Session of the Young Artists “Shipyard – a Look from the Outside/Confrontations II”. It presented the projects realised in August 2004 on the premises of Gdańsk Shipyard. Following the contemporary trend of transforming the post-industrial sites and situations, artists took up the task of creating the works inspired by the atmosphere and energy of the huge yet declining production works. The Shipyard as a monument, the Shipyard as an industrial structure, for many Gdańsk inhabitants a workplace and a historic site of fundamental significance for the transformations in Europe, it became an outstanding place to create modern art projects, converging, like a lens, the past, the present and the future.
