Between the Walls

The wall is an essential element of the architecture. It separates what is outside from what is inside; it sets boundaries, defines spaces; structures and determines the possibilities of what is going on in front, around or behind her. It never stands by itself, it is the relations with its surroundings that determine its identity. The exhibition brings together four artists who, in their work, continuously engage with the limits, both architectural space and social and political spaces.

Between the Walls
The colony in Ostrava called Bedřiška has belonged among the so-called socially excluded localities for a long time. However, Bedřiška does not show any features that most probably come to your mind when we speak about excluded localities. The people are happy to live there, they regard the place as their home and they try to keep their houses as well as public spaces in good order and tidy.
It's obvious that the issue of the environment and ecology in art is increasingly becoming a consciously political decision that affects what art we create, how we teach it, how we talk about it, or how we present it. Artwork is intertwined with cultural activity, which is linked to activism and vice versa. The context, material used and financial resources are increasingly accentuated.
