Václav Magid

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.
Václav Magid is an artist, theoretician, curator and, last but not least, a bass player, whose activities often intertwine aspects from these close areas. As an artist on strong theoretical foundations, his curatorial projects are often conceived as an extensive artistic or theoretical project, and in his artistic work, visuality meets music.
The name Gallery 207 is a very down-to-earth name since it comes from the number of the room at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design where the gallery was located for five years (in October 2013 it moved to room number 405 but its name remained the same). Behind the same door we can find the Studio of intermedia confrontation.
