„The work of the art group Rafani is grounded in creating art deeply embedded in the life of society. The society provides us not only with themes but also with forms we use to seize the themes with or the society itself becomes the material we transform. Our work focuses on critical situations that don’t allow to take a definite stand. It shifts a common perspective on social phenomenons but it doesn’t offer any encouragement to a direct action. The final goal of our striving is utopian: future with a higher quality of humanity. To put our aim into practice we head through making frictional areas between the values of equality and freedom visible“.

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.
