French artist Léonie Young is the host of the Biennale of Outdoor Art residency program – OUT OF STH. During the residency the artist has created, not only works which are the recordings of her impressions and experiences during her stay in Poland, but also built a contact network that will serve as the basis of further artistic-cultural exchange.

The exhibition is co-organized as part of the partnership between the BWA Wroclaw and the la malterie Association from Lille as part of the European Capital of Culture 2016 with the support of the City of Wroclaw, the City of Lille, and the French Institute under an agreement with the City of Lille.
