In today's social climate, the line between folk horror and urban myths is as thin and winding as the old streets of Prague. In our most recent historical memory, we have seen them re-enchanted by the decline in tourism and repopulated by lonely figures of stray night walkers and people excluded from society. The age-old idea of art as a mirror that allows us to see lived reality from a new perspective comes to mind, or perhaps a distorted glass surface can deform shapes and create illusions.

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.

The group exhibition presents works in different media by emerging artists from Czech Republic, Poland and Germany that refer to folk and indigenous traditions, beliefs and crafts, magical thinking and animism, using the language of poetry, speculative theories and storytelling. Using these various approaches and narratives the artists explore topics related to letting go, unlearning, loss or mourning in the context of the individual and collective traumas.

For a long time, I didn't know what to write about this exhibition. It has no theme, the exhibiting artists have nothing in common, and their selection is purely subjective—I selfishly decided based solely on which paintings I personally found remarkable. It was only yesterday in my studio that one of the artists told me about a curator who reproached her for not providing any key to her paintings.

The nature of madness has been a topic for discussion since ancient times. However, mental illness is related to modern times and connected with institucionalisation of psychiatry. According to Michel Foucault it was the need of the burgeoisie to do away with troublesome individuals in the 18th century that led to the foundation of special institutions for the so-called mentally ill. Within the framework of those „cells for the unwanted“ psychiatry became a scientific discipline.
