What is PANIPANAMA? PANIPANAMA is an independent art space in Leipzig and a series of cutting edge performances, concerts, exhibitions, meetings, actions, open studios, presentations and such. It is also a platform for the promotion of Polish independent culture. PANIPANAMA is run by artist Kata Adamek and cultural geographer Bernd Adamek-Schyma. After our former projects Kolekcja Polska (2005) and parismoskau (2006-2007) since September 2008 we have been inviting some of the most profilic as well as yet unknown artists, musicians and performers from Poland. Additionally we promoted Polish music organizing panels at independent music fairs, participating in radio shows and magazines. in April 2010 The mainstream art magazine "ART" selected PANIPANAMA as the "Off-Space of the Week" and claimed us to be "Training Ground for Subculture"... Well... thanks, but what exactly is "Subculture"? ::: ::: Places where we presented concerts or events: Kunstraum PANIPANAMA, Kuhturmstr. 2, 04177 Leipzig UT CONNEWITZ, Wolfgang-Heinze-Str. 12a, 04277 Leipzig POLNISCHES INSTITUT, Markt 10, 04109 Leipzig ORTLOFF, Jahnallee 73, 04177 Leipzig D21, Demmeringstr. 21, 04177 Leipzig LIEBFRAUENKIRCHE, Karl-Heine-Str. 112, 04229 Leipzig Werk IV / obart, 02681 Kirschau Weezie/Neubau Cafe of the Gallery of contemporary Arts, Karl-Tauchnitz-Str. 11, 04107 Leipzig (Pop Up meeting of the independent music scene and business, Leipzig PANIPANAMA is a founding member of "lindenow", the network of independent art spaces in Leipzig Lindenau
:: Why PANIPANAMA? Coming from "(Kolekcja) Polska" and "parismoskau" we like the simple geographic-analogic qualities of PANIPANAMA: as a reminder of Panama, of course, first as a natural land bridge for all the great mix-max and move of peoples and goods, of animals, lamas, jaguars, sloths, snow owls, skunks, and all other kinds of other beautiful creatures moving from south to north and north to south. Then of course artifice, the modern artificial techno canal, deep cutting the land, connecting east-west waters, oceans, people, enabling faster communication giving the illusion of having left behind limiting grounds or nations. We would like to open the gates to a new canal for art and music, with PANIPANAMA we wanted to lift off from and touch down at all kinds of grounds, to invite to swim and play in warm, sweet, salty, calm, stormy waters, to move on, southeastnorthwest. And of course we like the idea of taking the word apart and having all wonderful kinds of meaning in Polish: from PAN I PANAMA to PAN I PANA MA. Yours faithfully, PANI PANAMA and PAN IPANAMA.
