| During 2020-21 Gívan Belá is working on a performance work, in collaboration with [[http://www.laznia.pl/|Laznia]] Gdansk, to function as an opening event of the exhibition 'Sense Perception' by Hungarian-Canadian artist-curator-traveller-critic-organizer-writer-... [[http://www.ninaczegledy.net/|Nina Czegledy]] in September 2021. The piece is a community based and participative work, performed in open air, and based on the same principles as [[http://kra.land/?p=842|Fanfara Hranice]] (2011, 2018). | During 2020-22 Gívan Belá was working on a performance work, in collaboration with [[http://www.laznia.pl/|Laznia]] Gdansk, to function as an opening event of the exhibition 'Sense Perception / Sensoria' by Hungarian-Canadian artist-curator-traveller-critic-organizer-writer-...

| In February 2020 we visited Laznia, and worked on the necessary prospection, for developing the piece. Both venues where the performances will take place belong to quite different neighbourhoods. Though a similar approach for the 2 parts of the performances is being followed, the result, with the surrounding citizens, will be different. Apart from an extensive series of field recordings around [[http://www.laznia.pl/instytucja/historia-6/|Laznia 2]] (the harbour) and [[http://www.laznia.pl/instytucja/historia-3/|Laznia 1]] (the city), we worked out a further plan of action, meeting the experimental choir 441 Hz and Anna Wilczewska. Meantime the renowned luthier [[http://www.targowiskoinstrumentow.pl/hubert-poloniewicz/|Hubert Połoniewicz]], is making a replica of the mysterious medieval instrument, the geśle gdanskie. We accomplished 26 hours of field recordings as an initial sound material collection, for further analysis and re-generation electronically. We came back home and started to work preparing the initial the score for the choir. [[BirdSongs]] is the working title. | In February 2020 we visited Laznia, and worked on the necessary prospection, for developing the piece.

The piece would be throughout the years mentioned as Marching Choir, Fanfara, etc. and was several times postponed but finally performed on September 16th, 2022. The 441 Hz choir could not perform it but the Gdansk University Choir proposed to step in and rescue the performance, together with a bunch of visiting international Erasmus students. |

| Somehow the pandemic lockdown of borders and cities came in the way, maybe the political tendencies in Europe, to discredit the independence of art and culture, as well. But art, culture and the social are in flux, and from a mansion in the highlands, surrounded by natural sounds, we continue to work. | Over the years, the pandemic lockdown of borders and cities came in the way, maybe the political tendencies in Europe as well. But art, culture and the social are in flux, and from a ruined mansion in the highlands, surrounded by natural sounds, we continued to work sporadically at it. |
