The architecture of fiction

The architecture of fiction presents an interdisciplinary curatorial selection of artists whose work can be labeled as a fictive architecture. The one which doesn’t attempt to be real and avoids the reality as a limiting factor. It is an outcome of an architectonic thinking as an independent creative approach. The exhibition will show a survival module of six possible ends of the world of the architect Tomáš Kozelský. The scenographer Jan Štěpánek will present an installation leading to a specific artefact, coming from an experience with a narrative element of a theatre performance. The pioneer of videoart Woody Vasulka invites us to take a look into his archive. Another exhibiting artist is a post-pop sculptor Tomáš Motal. The last one is the conceptual artist Katarina Hladeková documenting and theming through her models subjective experiences or places of her memories.

The architecture of fiction
In the lecture Dubravka Sekulić focuses not only on what and why needs to change in architectural education in an effort to make a discipline more equitable, but also on how this change can happen.
Gideon Boie is an architect and philosopher and a founder of the BAVO collective. He lectures on the ethics and theory of architecture at the Faculty of Architecture of KU Leuven in Brussels, and his work focuses on the political dimension of art and architecture.
Why did Jarmila B. disappear? And why should we be interested in it? Jarmila B. was a ceramist, who did not leave any interesting art work behind, only many rather messed up projects and involuntary, unexceptional compromises. What really matters is what she did not create – her radical visions, which are captured in her diaries (and which bear a striking resemblance to projects of some radical conceptual artists and performances of contemporary artists). In a way she was ahead of her time.
