This year, the most famous performance at the Venice Biennale was the opera 'Sun and Sea' staged in the Lithuanian pavilion. Its authors criticize lazy, capitalist society and talk about the climate crisis. The opera takes place on the beach, singers perform common beach activities, recreating the opera lying down in bathing suits. This action deals with global problems affecting all countries in the world. We suggest leaning on a more local scale and considering "parawaning" (polish word for making fences from beach screens) should be included on the list of Polish national heritage.
At the end of the year, in a November-December atmosphere, Bartosz Zimniak will attempt to transfer the summer coastal landscape to the center of Poznań. The PL-beach project assumes the creation of a temporary, artificial beach in the FWD:. Through this action, the artist intends to open a space for discussion about contemporary patriotism, Polish identity and tools for building a common language. An language opening to listen and understand each of us viewpoints. The artist's attitude always emphasizes that patriotism and the history of the nation are a common thing.
