During the opening of the “Holownia” exhibition, the performance “Added Value” by Dariusz Wojdyga will take place. Once again entering the festival’s reality, the artist will invite participants into an action inspired by this year’s festival theme — EVERY BODY. The performance will begin within the exhibition space and conclude later that evening during the Silver Evening concert at the Modjeska Café Club.
The audience will be invited to join “Chain of Unity”, a participatory performance created by students from the Department of Jewellery at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź. Between the Well of Lovers and the Neptune Fountain, participants will form a living chain built from gestures, movement, and human presence. At the centre of the action, a monumental pendant with a stone will appear, around which a collective shape visible from a bird’s-eye view will emerge. The performance cannot exist without its audience — everyone is invited to become part of the work and co-create one of the most symbolic moments of the Grand Opening.
The performative programme will continue on Saturday with a VR jewellery design demonstration prepared by students from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk. In front of the Ring Gallery, the artists will create three-dimensional forms without paper, tables, or traditional tools — directly in digital space using Gravity Sketch software. Broadcast live on screen, the design process will allow audiences to observe the emergence of objects, in reference to the „State of Now” exhibition.
