Canadian-Polish Art Initiatives return to Nuit Blanche with Concurrence II, a showcase of contemporary art featuring guest artists from Gdansk, Poland. Meeting together for one night, 13 artists bring their unique international experiences, professional successes and future perspectives to share with their peers and pubic. The event's aim is to encourage a dialogue and create an exchange of ideas between emerging artists and new audiences.
The theme of Concurrence refers to a rare vision of the young artists' development from their origins, to the present and beyond. It is in this moment of exploring their individual paths across continents, cultures, styles, ideas and media that Nuit Blanche happens. With various points of departure the artists harmoniously blend global infuences with fne art and design practices, thus capturing creative expression as a process in motion.
The event takes place at the SPK building, historically used to house cultural events for the Canadian Polish community in Toronto. This two-story building, complete with a stage, banquet hall and ample exhibition space, transforms into a multi-sensory environment where, for one exciting night, 13 winding paths cross.

It is devoted to monumental installations created by Zdzislaw Pidek which are, in actual fact, war crime cemeteries. War crime cemeteries related to events which happened during the Second World War. They are constructed on the very places where the genocide happened, on the territories of former Poland occupied by the Third Reich and Soviet Union, as well as the Gubernatiorial General.
