Contemporary Lynx is a proud media partner of the anniversary group exhibition of artists connected to WL4 takes place from July 25, 2025. The exhibition will run until August 17.
This year marks a decade since a group of artists decided to take over a vacant industrial building, a former bakery at Wiosny Ludów 4 in Gdańsk, and transform it into a site of a collective artistic environment. What began as a practical need for studios quickly evolved into a living, grassroots organism: self-organised, constantly in motion. WL4 didn’t just fill a gap in infrastructure. It proposed an alternative model, one based on shared space, shared risk, and a shared sense of responsibility, shaped by common purpose and mutual care.
WL4 is one of those places that undermines traditional display protocols. It resists the assumption that art needs white walls, calibrated lighting, and visual neutrality.
