When you walked through the festival gate you entered a special place. SLOT is a few days away from the daily routine. Even though the clock face still has 12 hours on it, time here is thicker. It can also be surprisingly deep, so beware. Since we’ve mentioned a daily routine- we don’t want to avoid it permanently. If you find that your routine is more beautiful when you get back to it, then we’ll feel that this 19th festival is a success.Whatever may come, the new festival slogan remains... SLOT ART FESTIVAL – THE ART OF LIFEWELCOME TO SLOT!!!!!

WELCOME TO SLOT!

drAwiNg wiTh A FEAThEr ANd 78. iNk round 2 / place 28 / level 1 / max 16Marta Tomczyk – high school student, leads art workshops for elementary schoolsA feather (base and nib), ink and a clean sheet of paper. This is all you need for this workshop. De-spite this basic equipment we will create works beyond our imaginations. The workshop will of course be about drawing, but this technique mi-ght be more challenging than using a pencil, since you cannot erase potential mistakes with an era-ser. You can only transform them into an element of your work.

dESigN drAwiNg 79. round 1 / place 29 / level 1 / max 15Anna Pawłowska – studied architecture and interior architecture, designs graphics, interiors, products and visualsDesigning is not difficult, it can almost be a game. Few are aware that a beautifully drawn car or dress on a manikin was not drawn from memo-ry. The designer usually has a base, or shape of a typical car, or the shape of a human on paper and then sketches their idea. This makes it fairly simple. I will show people who have never held a pencil in their hand how easy it is to pour their imagination onto paper. We will design on a base and draw our own product – a car, dress, shoe or toy. I invite you because everyone, regardless of age, can be a little designer.

Their album “Kim Novak” was recorded live in 2009 and includes 12 “messed up” songs, “that are so hot they break hearts and blow the power out in the whole city”. The name is a throw-back to the 60’s and the desire to re-cord without all the production fireworks. Guitar riffs that hearken back to classics combine with punk, garage rhythm and Fisz’s strong and qu-ality texts.www.myspace.com/kimnowakIzrael (PL)Israel is a legend in Poland reggae that began in 1983 with Roberta Brylewski (Armia, Brygada Kryzys, 52UM) and Paweł „Kelner” Rozwadowski (Deuter). Later Dariusz „Maleo” Malejonek (Ma-leo Reggae Rockers, Houk, Moskwa, 2Tm2-3) joined along with multi-instrumentalist Włodzi-mierz „Kinior” Kiniorski. Their incredible concert energy and years of experience have made them one of the best Polish bands.

NLM played for the first time in Poland in 1987 at the Jarocin Festival. As their popularity grew here, their music also matured. The musi-cians are also actors in what can be called post-grunge/psycho-punk theater. NLM is not just mu-sic and theater- it’s a passion that goes beyond any esthetic borders or any other kind of border to share their message.www.myspace.com/nolongermusicLuxtorpeda (PL)On the one hand Luxtorpeda is a solo project of one of the best guitarists and most deserving stars of the Polish rock scene- Litza (Acid Drin-kers, 2 Tm 2:3, Kazik Na Zywo, Flapjack) and on the other it’s a new band of four friends who have played together for years in various bands: Lit-za, Kmieta, Drężmak, Krzyżak. It’s a solo project in that it’s the creation of Litza and his never-ending drive to play great guitar. He’s the voca-list, writes the texts and steers the whole project. It’s a group effort because they play and create together.www.myspace.com/luxtorpedaOcean (PL)Ocean was formed in 2001 by the leader/singer/guitarist, Maciek Wasio and they played at SLOT that same year. Through many personnel chan-ges and a unique attitude to creativity, they ma-naged to come up with their own recognizable style of heavy, rough sounds contrasting with moving melodies and ballads wrapped up in bo-undless energy. They’ve just released their 5th album, “Wojan Świń” produced by Grammy win-ner Vance Powell.www.myspace.com/oceanpoland

MAiN STAgEBipolar BearsAn avant-garde mix somewhere betwe-en rock energy and electronic sounds. Their debut album “Interpolar Link” was composed and pro-duced by Kubę Mi-toraja and Szymona Danisa (m.in. CO.IN. and Fate Unknown). Besides them is Ma-ciek Zakrzewski (Digit-All-Love) responsible for samplers, synthe-sizers and electronics and bassist Grzegorz Posłuszny. Their la-test album speaks about breaking bar-riers and cultural pride.www.myspace.com/bipolarbearspolandStage of UnityThe band formed in 1988 in Wrocław. Sin-ce that time Stage of Unity, even with its strong roots in reg-gae, has gone thro-ugh many changes and life experiences which enriched the sound. They’ve play-ed Poland’s biggest festivals and re-acti-vated in 2008. Their sound is strongly gu-itar- reggae and with

side trips into dub. Their strong point is the Krista-fari vocalist with a true Jamaican voice. In 2010 their albums “Good Connection” and “Jah Bring I” were re-released by Lion Stage Records under the name “The Rainbow Power”.www.myspace.com/stageofunityDashA crash of styles- mainly pop and alternative. The vocalists bring Kate Bush or Tori Amos to mind and the arrangements make your body move. Their concerts are energetic and full of emotion. Fans have compared them to Florence and the Machine or Moloko. The band is aware of visuals so their performances are a treat not only for the ear but also for the eye. www.myspace.com/dashchannelFifidrokiThe unpredictable musical creativity of Fifidroki began in 2008 and grew into electrifying schizo-folk.www.myspace.com/fifidrokiCheckoladaA mix of hip hop, funk and rock with a bit of co-untry thrown in- all in the spirit of the ‘80’s. An important element of their creativity and image is a distance to reality and themselves. They “be-come” rap stars who, in post-Communist Poland, try to imitate their idols from the West. It’s an iro-nic parody of a large chunk of Polish hip-hop that tries to be more black than American hip-hop.www.myspace.com/checkolada

Reggae tent

REGGAE TENT/ZELT/STAN/NAMIOT/Location nr 59, time 00:305/6.07 (Tues/Wed) WARM-UP „TRIBU-TE TO ALL TRIBUTES”Reggae Tent Crew – The mysterious name holds many surprises. Let’s remember the ti-mes of the first reggae tent, set up near “the big tree” (platanus), which was in 2004 AD, and the following years. There the “roots” and “modern roots” compositions reigned supre-me, with the help of selector/DJ TomAll and the like. DJ Zamęt & Crew means you can’t know what’s coming…Puma i Jego Zona Soundsystem (PL/UK) – The core of the band “Puma i Jego Zona” are two charismatic vocalists, jawing their (so-metimes pretty abstract) lyrics one by one at the same time. Żaba and Bąbel, together with their excellent band, reigned supreme in the Greater Poland concert halls in the mid 90’s heating up the audience. Years later they ha-ve come together to mingle even more, this time in the Soundsystem way. A good party’s in the pipeline!Freestyle session – We’ll try to bring the So-undsystem to life, letting everyone willing to add in their two (or three) pennyworth on the riddim, reggae background.6/7.07 (Wed/Thur) Bashment NightDreadsquad and KaCeZet (Lodz/Warsaw) – Everybody knows those guys. Undoubtedly, the biggest start of this year’s tent. Their joint album “Stara Szkoła” (“Old School”) was rele-ased in 2009 – a compilation of 16 fantastic MMF productions, from reggae/ragamuffin to ska and dub, topped off with KaCeZet jaws. Since then, they have been touring the length and breadth of Poland spreading dancehall as they go. Your body will roar to dance!

Frenchman aka. Mc Misijny (McMission) – Half Polish and half French, born in Africa where he spent 14 years of his childhood. Known from Bass Medium Trinity and Jamal. This year, he’s finished the work on his solo project “Świadectwo” (“A Testimony”). The work is entirely his own. The topics brought up on the album are the results of long reflec-tions and a deep conversion. The topics are a conscious message about spirituality, life’s day to day problems and the shades of the Po-lish music scene and showbusiness.

Reggae tent7/8.07 (Thur/Fri) The Roots’ NightCzlowiek Gavron (Lodz) – A sing jay from central Poland, a member of Ras Bass and the vocalist of Pali Się Sunsystem and currently also Bieda Sound. Gawron is a lover of roots, dub, rocksteady and ragamuffin and melodic rhytmizing of words and sounds is his special-ty and his hobby.Roots Defender feat. Natty B (Lublin) – “Outstanding”, as people speak of them, Ja-maican sound system from Lublin. Formed by vinyl sounds, bass culture and genre pioneers enthusiasts of the kind of Lee Perry, The Hep-tones, Burning Spear or Big Youth. Supported by Kabat’s trombone (a musician known from “Sloma i Przedwietrze” among others), they defend the roots of reggae music, uniting it and rescuing it from oblivion during the cyc-lic gigs called “RootsEdukacja”. They enjoy UK dub, although during their shows they still prefer to use the Jamaican recordings from the 60’s, 70’s and the first half of the 80’s. The West Indies music straight from Eastern Poland.8/9.07 (Fri/Sat) Dub NightMuflon Dub Soundsystem (Białystok/Lublin) – Our music is a compilation of all we can and are able to do… Samples, loops, special effects together with vocals and in-struments (drums, melodica, flute, pan flute, guitar, keyboards)… Inspiration comes whene-ver and from wherever it will. People, places, emotions or music (especially Dub Syndicate, Yabby You, Congos, Christafari). It is someti-mes an inspiration for a new text, new music or to record. A song can come to life in a day, month or a year. It’s a never-ending passion, but also a mission to saw the hot vibration and heat up the frozen world! Listen for your-self at muf.glt.pl .

Macca Dub (Lodz) – A cool number presen-ting the school of hard classic dub, digital dub, UK dub and hardstep dub. Caught the dub vi-rus during the Original Bass Foundation and Audioactivity tour, which took place in Poland in the summer of 2004. As the time passed by, the dub virus connected with the vinyl vi-rus. It caused a disease and it’s symptom is sharing the beloved sounds, regardless of the audience’s distrust.Japko Selecta (Lodz) – One of the best and longest active reggae selectors on the Lodz stage. His adventure with the gramophone began in the Dread Lion Crew (R.I.P.). Curren-tly plays solo and takes part in many projects, also outside the genre (e.g. Sub-lo-matic). His selections are mainly dub stage and dubstep novelities, however he can sometimes surpri-se with some sophisticated classical sounds. myspace.com/japkoselecta9/10.07 (Sat/Sun) Raggamuffin NightJam Vibez (Lodz) – Janek, Kleeb, Awiom – a group of three fans of good music, promoting the best sounds of digital reggae – raggamuf-fin – dub. On stage since 2005. Independent of popularity, they efficiently spread the joy and positive vibration flowing from Jamaican (although not only) recordings. They became famous on the Polish stage thanks to an al-bum unrivalled through its uniqueness of a se-lection from the 80’s. The effect of this fasci-nation was a very well received mixtape from 2008. www.jamvibez.netReggae Tent Crew – and lastly, a surprise…

Leszek Hynda – vocal, guitar, Tymoteusz Nowak – bass, Karol So-boń – keyboards, piano, Łukasz Chyliński – electic guitar, Artur Cieślak –drums.Wru& Prosfer Wru – not so greatly experien-ced, yet a very talented selector. So far, she has played in Wroclaw Vis-A-Vis and Szajba clubs. Her music paths are a kind of natural selection: from organic breakbeat to hip hop, rock, indie or elec-tronic sounds like trip-hop, dubstep and drum-a-nd-bass. Prosfer – in the beginning very mc, then a more hairy member of a duo JednoPiwoSo-und (OneBearSound). They musically terrorised Wroclaw clubs for some time. Selectively succes-sively she goes from funk, breaks, rap i mashups to electro, dub, dubstep and jungle/dnb. Sum up? A mixture of Czech cinematography and Venice riot. Bon appetit!LoveStory is a musical Idea with a capital ”I”. ”The group was found from a general need for a good text about love.” Seriously. Objectively uni-que, thanks to genuineness. Their beginnings are around July 2006. The best of their lyrics are the ones that aren’t literal and are just fun and word-plays. The producer of their first record „Talitha kum” in 2010 also made Maria Awaria – which resulted in multitude of prizes that you are going to hear about. MADE IN COSMOS. Vjs, Kasia Muranty and Łu-kasz Sawicki. Young graphic studio from Warsaw. They design posters, books, visual identifications, catalogues and websites. More at MADEINCO-SMOS.COM. They like good sounds and support graphically a lot of artists. They prepared unique visualizations for music, live, together with Flu-idacje at SLOT ART . At Cafe Pralnia!

SMALL STAgE

SMALL STAGEThe Small Stage (competition stage) is the place where young, ambitious bands have the possibi-lity to present their music to a wider public. Just like in past years, from Wednesday through Fri-day (July 6-8) the small stage is a competition stage where a jury and the public will vote for and choose their favorite band from the 3 that play each day. That winner will open the concert on the main stage the next night. On Saturday, July 9 there’s no competition.This year ROCK, in all its various forms, will rule on the small stage. It’ll be very interesting! You’ll see and hear not only young groups who are ta-king their first steps on stage, but also professio-nal bands that have played hundreds of concerts in Poland and abroad (even at festivals like Wood-stock, Jarocin, and Union of Rock), recorded many albums and had success on TV.COME TO THE MOST ROCKIN’ STAGE AT SLOT ART FESTVIAL 2011!!!Place: tent by the carriage houseWhen: 17.30- 19.30Wednesday July 617:30-18:00 Because www.myspace.com/becausewroc 18:15-18:45 Mairess www.myspace.com/mairessband 19:00-19:30 Lee monday www.myspace.com/leemonday Thursday July 7 17:30-18:00 Editt www.myspace.com/edittband 18:15-18:45 Insult www.myspace.com/insultbandpl 19:00-19:30 Head up high www.myspace.com/headuphighpl Friday July 8 17:30-18:00 Heroes get remembered www.myspace.com/heroesgetrememberedpl

July 6- Up the Yangtze The Yangtze River- 6300 km long, the longest Chinese river and one of the longest in the world. Plans for it harnessing it were laid 100 years ago. The surface covered by the lake formed by a giant dam is larger than Poland. That „Three Gorges Dam“ has inspired many Chinese artists. For Yung Chang, a documentary maker of Chine-se descent who was raised in Montreal, the film „Up the Yangze“ is not just a sentimental voy-age to his roots. The return to the river where his grandfather was raised became a pretext to showing a portrait of modern China.July 7- Yes-Men Fix The WorldWhen a gentleman representing Dow Chemical announced on BBC radio that his firm would pay compensation to the victims of an ecological ca-tastrophe caused by the company, the intervie-wer was stunned. „We’ll do what we should have done long ago“ assured the company man. After 20 years not many people had hope that the che-mical giant would show any heart, but the eupho-ria didn’t last long. The company quickly denied the information and the BBC requested an expla-nation on air. It turned out that the man who ma-de the shocking promise had nothing to do with the company. „We wanted to remind everyone in this way that no one cares about vicitims today.“ he said. The results of the event were immediate-ly seen. Dow stock plummeted and the company lost 2 million dollars in one day. The imposter was Yes-Man Andy Bichlbaum, a man whose goal is to make fools of the buisness world.July 8- ARMADILLO- THE WAR IS IN USArmadillo is the name of an army base in Hel-mund Province in southern Afghanistan. There are usually about 170 British and Danish sol-diers stationed there. Some of them are young and treat their war experience as an adventure, test or challenge that they can’t resist. However during their six month tour of duty at the base their personalities and their characters are ra-

dically changed. They prepare carefully at home for their assignment, but once there spend night duty watching porno on lap-tops and, like little boys, enjoying life in the platoon. Their sponta-neous bravado is short-lived however and ends abruptly. While fighting the Taliban, one of them is injured and his horrified face proves that this is no boy’s game or paint-ball match. All this is played out before the eyes of the world who lo-oks on passively, taking the role of a silent wit-ness to the war.July 9- BLOOD ON YOUR PHONEDo we really know what’s hidden in our phones? The director of this film reveals the strong and shocking connection between the cell-phone in-dustry and illegal mining of raw materials in the Congo. Every cell-phone conversation supports this criminal buisness and augments profits from

illegal mining in the Congo. That country, which is so rich in natural resources, has been engulfed in war for years. So far almost 5 million people have died and over 300,000 women have been brutally raped. NGO BREAKFASTIn addition to the films and the fair, each mor-ning between 9.45 and 11.45 in location Café Wirydarz we’ll hold a NGO breakfast for people involved in the building of the Third Sector in Poland. This is especially for people who are actively involved in a NGO.

Hydrozagadka 70min dir. Andrzej Kondratiuk“Never refuse when it comes to a just cause”If you think you’re too tired, just grab a cup of coffee and make your way to see this cult co-medy hit from Andrzej Kondratiuk. It’s a mirac-le of Polish cinematography from 1970. The film is a cross between the grotesque and a parody with actors such as Zdzisław Maklakiewicz, Józef Nowak, Wiesław Gołas, and Ewa Szykulska. And since this is SAF… “The mosquitoes are biting so come inside”… to the Film tent.This film will change your life! You’ll never be the same! But, that’s not important! The “most im-portant is following the rules of first aid, espe-cially on a train!” The Butterfly Circus 20min dir. Joshua WeigelAt the height of the Great Depression, the show-man of a renowned circus leads his troupe thro-ugh the devastated American landscape, lifting the spirits of audiences along the way. During their travels they discover a man without limbs at a carnival sideshow. However, after an intri-guing encounter with the showman he becomes driven to hope against everything he has ever believed.Martijn i Zoe 42min dir.

profession or place of residence, each of us strug-gles at sometime in a parent-child relationship. The question is- can such a difficult relationship also be beautiful? This documentary breaks the stereo-types of father-daughter relations. Worth seeing!Na yek Tavahom (Not an Illusion) 83min dir. Torang AbedianSara is a young Iranian with a great voice - but women shouldn’t sing solo in public, according to the laws in Iran. However, Sara is determined -

she was a champion gymnast who was disabled in a freak accident, and doesn’t want to give up. „Na yek Tavahom (Not an Illusion)” follows Sa-ra and her musician friends over five years thro-ugh the ups and down in Tehran’s underground music scene. It’s a human story about hope, the struggle to achieve a dream, resistance and the fight for cultural freedom. A documentary which gives a deep insight to an explosive society cau-ght between modernity and tradition as never seen before. A true story of the underground mu-sicians of Iran.Erratum 90min dir. Marek LechkiA film where not words, but beautiful filming, close-ups and the crew bring out the essence of what sits deepest in a man- a longing for close relationships, dreams and lost passions.The director proves that it doesn’t take an abun-dance of words to show something that is wise, full and very mature. Erratum shows us, as well, that a great film isn’t dependant on a big bud-get or publicity but on that “something”, as well as talent, that all creators should have. This film was awarded the “Debut of the Year” at the 35th Gdynia Film Festival and has been awarded at festivals worldwide.Strongly recommended!Złota Rybka 69min dir. Tomasz WolskiA film about a social therapy center in the best tradition of Polish documentaries, reminiscent of the works of Piwowski, Bławut and Lankosz. This “not normal” world turns out to be more normal than the world around us. There is less hatred and more kindness. This gentle film doesn’t ask us to look AT others, but to look WITH others with other eyes.

EXhiBiTSdesigned by Joshua Simpson and Helen Bradley, Community Artists from England. The work explores themes around journeying, mark making, identity and spirituality. It provides opportunity to look at where you are and how you have gotten there, it is also a response to your surroundings and a platform for others. Reporters from the film school in Łódż“This exhibit was created for the need of the mo-ment. Important moments were captured on film with faith that our touching the world would me-et with a reaction- create a discussion. Feature reports and photo-reports play an im-portant role in media. Regardless of technical advancements they will always provide a foun-dation of knowledge about man and the world around him. I believe that our students will make that challenge easier.” prof. Krzysztof HejkeThe Infantilizators. Albert OszekGraduate of the Art Academy of Krakow. Pain-ter, graphic artist. Creates cultural art involved in presenting man lost in a world of commercia-lism and consumption. Inspiration is drawn from masks and figures from art of the Pacific Islands as well as anti- globalism ideology.The theme of the project, “The Infantilizators” comes from the idea of etosu infantylizmu, used by Benjamin R. Barber in his book, “ Consumed”, where “the market ruins children, makes adults infantile and swallows up citizens.” This idea describes contemporary consumers as “shop-aholics”, addicts against their will, manipulated from childhood. “The Infantilizators” is a cycle of acrylic paintings on canvas as well as plaster sculptures depicting small-adult figures addicted to possessing un-necessary products. The series is an attempt to laugh at human weaknesses by showing in an grotesque manner certain uncon-trolled behaviors of man, whose biggest desire is to identify with the wonderful world of adver-tising.

She does art such as video, painting, installation, and performance.SUR-REALIZACJE is the title of a cycle done on abandoned buildings. Fittingly, the title is asso-ciated with surrealism.Bir lira, bir lira, birlira... Ola AdamczukStudent at the Art Academy of Łódź and for the last few months at the MSGSU in Istanbul.My time spent in this weird, crowded city inspired this work that is similar to its source. It’s a collec-tion of photos, notes and thoughts from my mon-ths spent in Turkey. The artist tells of seeking her way in a place where very few things are tame and all things taste new.Dość! Oto kara - w drogę! (Enough! This is the punishment- on the road!)Workshop participants were sent out for a few days into “no man’s land” and were told to define their attitudes according to their surroundings- surroundings where humanism ceased to exist. This exhibit is the result. It was supposed to be only photos, but it turned out that the emotions involved couldn’t be adequately expressed only in photos…Justyna StrąkGraduate in painting from the Art Academy of Wrocław

SLOT is a platform unifying young people for whom Christianity is the inspiration for involve-ment in culture, education and society. SLOT is a more of a movement than an orga-nization. It is hard to set the borders of ideas when those ideas are carried by individuals.SLOT is a channel to break through human in-difference, intolerance, selfishness and apathy. SLOT is a space to meet people who want to share themselves, their spirituality, art, abilities and skills with others in an atmosphere of true openness, love and creativity.SLOT is a non-profit organization, which me-ans taxpayers in Poland may give 1% of their income taxes to SLOT each year. SLOT is not a profit-making or commercial organization. All profits are used to realize the goals set out in its statutes.
