MDF Festival 2020 MUSIC.DESIGN.FORM

The first day of MDF Festival 2020

NEWS | 23-09-2020
This year's edition of the MUSIC.DESIGN.FORM Festival will begin at 7:00 pm with the opening of Witek Orski's photos at the Level 4 Gallery and a virtual performance by Piotr Matosek. From 8:50 pm, we will be able to admire the effective illumination on the facade of the building, which will stay with us for the five days of the festival. From 23 to September 27, the Philharmonic will be taken over by the MDF festival!

White balance


The exhibition of works by Witek Orski – visual artist and photographer – will open the MDF festival at the Philharmonic in Szczecin in the evening.

The project as part of the MUSIC.DESIGN.FORM Festival taking place at the Philharmonic in Szczecin will be a reflection on the landscape of an African village exhibited nearby at the National Museum. The presented photos will be a documentation of items from the historical Szczecin "African Collection", currently divided between the National Museum in Szczecin and the Ethnographic Museum in Warsaw.

Witek Orski's exhibition will open the new edition of the MUSIC.DESIGN.FORM Festival and will be the first exhibition in the new formula of the Level 4 Gallery in the Mieczysław Karłowicz Philharmonic in Szczecin. The artistic season 2020/2021 will feature cooperation with TRAFO Trafostacja Sztuki in Szczecin and the Academy of Art in Szczecin.

The vernissage will take place today (September 23) at 7.00 pm, and the exhibition will be available for free on the following festival days, from 24 to September 27, from 12.00-17.00.

Kurki. Lipsync for Identity


As part of this predatory symbolization, the relations between sexes, man and nature were defined in one gesture by assigning femininity to nature and masculinity to culture. Therefore, if the survival of civilization requires the creation of an entirely new image of the organic, then the cultural interpretation of biological sexes and social relations between them will face a revolution on a scale hitherto unknown. We have been seeing its trailers for several decades now.

"Kurki. Lipsync for Identity" is to be one of those teasers. The shooting plan was made in a nitrogen chamber for storing apples in the village of Kurki. In this small settlement, the inhabitants cultivate plants. The second part of the title refers to the famous American reality TV show – RuPaul's Drag Race. It an example of a culture that does not try to tame nature, and in the dialectic of the subject's development accepts the existence of "other" – other than me, but non-antagonistic and equally natural.

The project will have its premiere today (September 23) at 19:00 on the Philharmonic channel on YouTube and the festival website MUSIC.DESIGN.FORM Festival: MDF.filharmonia.szczecin.pl.

Illumination shows


During the festival, the Philharmonic will itself become an artistic object both inside and outside. Once again, the white facade of the building facade will become a kind of canvas. We invite you to special illumination shows accompanying the MDF 2020 Festival, for which Pushka Studio in Szczecin is responsible. On 23-27 September from 20.00 to midnight.

Dorota Kołodziejczyk, Radosław Deruba and Bartosz Wójcicki PuH make up the creative Pushka Studio. They move in the areas of new media with a strong emphasis on motion design, 3D video mapping, multimedia installations and set design. Pushka Studio is a team of passionate professionals who have cooperated with MUSIC.DESIGN.FORM Festival for the third time.
