W maju 1976 roku Günter Grass odwiedził Portugalię po raz pierwszy. Przez kolejne lata regularnie powracał do łagodnego klimatu Algarve, szukając wyciszenia, odpoczynku, inspiracji. Podczas tych pobytów powstawały rysunki, akwarele, niewielkie rzeźby z terakoty, a także rękopisy przemów czy fragmenty kolejnych powieści. Wiele z nich odzwierciedla fascynację motywami budującymi portugalski krajobraz.

In May 1976 Günter Grass arrived in Portugal for the first time. Over the years that followed he would regularly return to the clement climate of Algarve, looking for peace of mind, rest and inspiration. During those sojourns he created drawings, watercolours, small terracotta sculptures, as well as manuscripts of speeches or fragments of future novels. Many of them mirror his fascination with the motifs which form Portuguese landscape.
Encontros means "encounters" in Portuguese. Originally directed at the Portuguese audience, the Gdańsk edition of this exhibition addresses the title motif on additional levels. So we transfer Grass's safe southern asylum to his hometown in the north, where the steel-grey sky meets the equally steel-grey Baltic sea, while history marks almost every corner. Hence, the presence of the Polish visual artist and poet - Bianka Rolando, whose latest multielement installation entitled: Drummer, has been especially commissioned for this exhibition. It constitutes an invitation to a dialogue between generations, nations, disciplines, a dialogue with memory, identity, testimonies, the tangibility and intangibility of experience. The artist creates a multilevel installation composed of visual and poetic elements based in old fishing boats. At the same time she remains very sensitive towards the materiality of the object combining old wood, Baltic beach sand, ashes and coal. This is her literary and sensual effort to negotiate memory, to find the truth, to understand complex experience.
During the Gdańsk Encontros both artists will meet in order to - in accordance with the German idiom "in einem Boot sitzen" - sit down in the same boat and be able to look with mutual understanding in the direction of a common point on the horizon.
