This year, the Luhovaný Vincent exhibition aimed to look at spas from the perspective of artistic realizations in public space. For every city, these often represent untouchable remnants of past eras, regimes, and ideas, but they also illustrate contemporary tastes and social demand. The curators reflected on the festival theme Bez nánosu (Without Sediment) through site-specific artworks and installations, as well as performances and unexpected situations. Three guided walks through the exhibition as part of the festival also provided ample opportunity for theoretical evaluation and fruitful debate with visitors.

The people are happy to live there, they regard the place as their home and they try to keep their houses as well as public spaces in good order and tidy.
