PANIPANAMA is our space and studio in Leipzig. It was also the name of a series of cutting edge performances, concerts, exhibitions, meetings, mikro-residencies, actions, open studios, screenings, talks, parties and such.
From September 2008 on with the financial support of the Polish Institute in Leipzig we invite artists, musicians and performers from Poland to meet and work with artists from here and there, from all over the place. These meetings took take place in the tiny and bright PANIPANAMA locale in Leipzig Lindenau as well as in more spacious very beautiful venues in town. REGULAR SHOWS TOOK PLACE TILL DECEMBER 2008, FROM 2009 ON WE APPEAR ONLY FROM TIME TO TIME. SEE OUR PHOTOS FOR IMPRESSIONS...

Why PANIPANAMA?
After our former projects Kolekcja Polska (2005) and parismoskau (2006-2007) we constantly kept drawing our maps we started to tear and cut up in Leipzig: from (Kolekcja) Polska to parismoskau to PANIPANAMA.
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 want 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.
