Towards the West an exhibition with students from the Academy of Art Szczecin & Ilya Noe as a part of Open Studios event, GlogauAir, Berlin. The exhibition presents a selection of works made by students from Department of Painting and New Media from Szczecin Academy of Art. It is thought as a symbolic journey from Szczecin to the West, to Berlin considered as the artistic and cultural capital nowadays. The paradox of Szczecin is based on its location. On one hand it is easier and quicker to get from there to Berlin, then to Warsaw, the capital of Poland. On the other, for the Warsaw art scene it is too far to the West and for Berlin is still seen as the East. Szczecin, sometimes called ‘the forgotten sister of Berlin’, lies somewhere off the track and remains undiscovered. But it seems like the West is its obvious direction and Berlin gives the source of inspiration and offers a platform for the presentation, confrontation and creating the network.
