Once upon a time, in an exhausted era in which nothing could apparently happen. Every exhibition is a small battle in the heat of the culture war. Individual skirmishes both consolidate and undermine constellations of opinions. Their rhythm and harmony is the heartbeat of a warring community. The culture war is both portend and sublimation.

Four words to start with. A tongue twister or a modest incantation? The first episode of the fifth curatorial cycle at Galerie Kurzor as a space for three artists to meet. Count to five, open and close your palm. What have we understood, what has escaped us? One thing is certain. We are not ourselves.
The concept of the exhibition stems from a dialogue between historical works presented in 1993 by a group of emerging artists from Ústí nad Labem at two editions of the exhibition NARUŠENÁ ROVNOVÁHA (DISTURBED BALANCE) at the Municipal House in Prague and the Emil Filla Gallery in Ústí nad Labem, and completely new projects by younger artists born in the 1980s, who had the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of Ústí nad Labem, especially during their university studies, and this experience led them to develop their authentic creative attitudes.
