66P operates in a former garrison bakery on K\u0119pa Mieszcza\u0144ska island in Wroc\u0142aw, which functions as PIEKARNIA Living Culture. PIEKARNIA is an interdisciplinary arts centre that brings together visual arts, theatre, performance and music.<\/p>\n

The hosts of PIEKARNIA are Renata and Rafa\u0142 Jarodzki. It was on their initiative that 66P was established in 2020. The digits in 66P come from the number of the building in which it is located, while the letter alludes to its original purpose \u2013 it was Renata\u2019s artistic \u201cstudio\u201d (pracownia), as well as \u201cspace\u201d (przestrze\u0144) \u2013 open to artistic activities in the broadest sense.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The PIEKARNIA [Bakery] building was constructed in 1900\u20131901 on the premises of the Breslau garrison as a bakery of the Food Provision Office at Werderstrasse [werder means island in the river in German], on the island of K\u0119pa Mieszcza\u0144ska. For decades, the bakery supplied the local garrison with bread. It was gradually modernised and equipped with new technological advances, such as a hot water washing system.<\/p>\n

After the Second World War, the garrison facilities were taken over by the Civic Militia, and the main street of K\u0119pa was named Ksi\u0119cia WItolda \u2013 after Prince Vytautas, the Grand Duke of Lithuania. The bakery itself continued to perform its original function. It was supposed to be modernised and expanded in the late 1960s, but this never happened. Instead, the building was falling into disrepair.<\/p>\n

Preparations for the revitalisation and adaptation of the former bakery began in 2013. According to Renata Jarodzka\u2019s idea, the fa\u00e7ade details were designed in keeping with the principles of industrial architecture, as were the greenery and street furniture. Another PIEKARNIA building is currently under construction in the same style, combining cultural, gastronomic and residential functions. Its construction will be completed in 2024.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The idea of creating an interdisciplinary place for art in a post-industrial space was inspired by Renata\u2019s personal experiences \u2013 a few years\u2019 stay in Canada, a residency in China, numerous travels. Already in the 1990s, she was fascinated by the Tacheles in Berlin \u2013 the former Wertheim department store, badly damaged during the Second World War and never rebuilt, transformed by artists into a community art centre. She was also inspired by the 798 Art District in Beijing, where former military factories have been transformed into art studios and galleries, and by the many industrial buildings used by artists in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Toronto and Mexico City.<\/p>\n

In 2019, the Jerzy Grotowski Institute opened its Centre for Performing Arts in a newly created theatre hall, where it stages its own productions and organises international and national theatre festivals. It was soon followed by the Camera Nera advertising and film studio and the studio where 66P has been operating since 2020. Other floors of the PIERKARNIA building house the Geppart Gallery of the E. Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wroc\u0142aw and the StudiaIArt art collection. As part of their cooperation with the Centre for Performing Arts, the Wroc\u0142aw Pantomime Theatre and the Polski Theatre in the Underground also started their programmes in PIEKARNIA. In parallel with 66P\u2019s activities, a permanent art collection consisting of murals, sculptures and other objects is being created both inside and outside the PIEKARNIA buildings.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the involvement, openness and effective cooperation of many people and organisations, the original idea of combining visual and performing arts in one place has become a reality.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
