Nikola Brabcová

Artistic practice of Jindřiška Jabůrková is interdisciplinary, includes installation, creation of objects, sometimes photography and video or performance. Her fascination is with the processes of transformation of matter, whether of human or natural origin. She is interested in the relationship between the human subject and nature, the relationship of man to the material world, sometimes deepened by the spiritual thoughts.

The key significance of the accelerating development of artificial intelligence and other digital systems lies in the fact that they allow us to newly recognize the plurality of other forms of non-human intelligence that we have been “secretly” surrounded by all along.

Although Tomáš Knoflíček is an art historian specializing in Medieval art and teaches at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Ostrava, he is also well-known for his versatile projects dealing with contemporary art and music.

Her activities are interwoven with a complex web of collective bodies of various transient groups or platforms. Since 2009 she has been a member of A.M.180., a team already behind the cult festival of contemporary music Creepy Teepee, taking place every year in the medieval landscape of Kutna Hora. Like the festival itself, is not just a spectacle of monolithic music projects, but also a place for performances and visual arts, as well gallery A.M.180, where Timková works as co-curator, is a place of hybrid cultural activities.
