ARTNOC

As part of Artnocy – Gliwice’s night of open galleries – the ruins of the Victoria Theatre once again became a space for artistic experimentation. The event featured an exhibition of video art by Natalia Lis entitled ‘Widziadła’, which focused on old Silesian legends and beliefs reinterpreted in a modern visual form.


The evening was rounded off by a concert by Andy Simonowicz, whose ambient compositions entered into a dialogue with the stark architecture of the ruins. The ‘Widziadła’ installation was enriched by texts selected through a literary competition, which gave the project a voice for local residents and artists. The event attracted nearly 500 people, confirming that the Ruins of the Victoria Theatre are a unique space where contemporary art and cultural heritage meet.
