We hope that by combining a number of various artworks and projects, hints of possibility will begin to emerge, from which a way out of today’s situation, that is oppressive on many levels, can slowly be carved. When it seems there is nowhere to run, we can try running into the future – and from there, start to reshape the present.
Throughout his life, Chalupecký promoted and defended new artistic trends and was interested in general questions of art, especially the meaning of art in modern society. He was a defender of art in connection with life. In today's terms, we could perhaps use the term activist or engaged art. He did not believe in the purely aesthetic function of art and culture in general.
An international jury has selected five visual artists under the age of 35 for the 32nd annual Jindřich Chalupecký Award 2021. They are Robert Gabris, Jakub Jansa, Valentýna Janů, Anna Ročňová, and the artistic non-collective björnsonova. The five artists decided to continue the development initiated by last year's artists and not to compete for the title of laureate, which was thus awarded to all of them.
