Ruta Putramentaité
The long life of industrial products, their slow decomposition and their subsequent journey into the earth - with all this, the artist gives nature and geological time a far more optimistic perspective than we as humans can attribute to ourselves. We now know that the garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean has exceeded the size of Texas and is approaching the size of all of North America.

Jiří Příhoda
"The installation of the exhibitions will be entrusted to the artists. I see it as a second choice besides the fact that artists teach. "
In the course of the 1990s Jiří Příhoda experimented with video-projections and became known as the first artist on the Czech art scene expressing himself through sculptural-architectural transformations of exhibition spaces.
‘Gentle Triggers’ is a presentation of work by London based artists Jala Wahid and Nicole Morris whose practices are positioned between sculpture and moving image.
Cäcilia Brown
Cäcilia Brown's work explores the structures and hierarchies of public space in the medium of sculpture. Her methods include destructive acts such as burning or throwing something out of a window, as well as copying and archiving. Her works have a fleeting, ephemeral nature and very often contain found or collected elements.
Jiří Borl, Jiří Novák, Jiří Sozanský
In July 1981, when Sozanský created his first work in Most, Jiří Putta came to take photographs at the place and the Film and TV School graduate Michal Baumbruck together with the cameraman František Brabec recorded on film there. The resulting film depicts not only the sculptures but also performances with actors which Sozanský staged for the film purposes. The film was called Evacuation and it was shown just few times during the 1980s at meetings of the artist's friends.

The exhibition is not only a departure from the established boundaries of the field, but also a demonstration of the possibilities that ceramics offer within contemporary art. The fact that it is ceramic clay, in various forms and shapes, that fills the gallery spaces is not a surprising result of a symposium focused on this material. However, ceramics is not the only means of expression that the exhibiting artists work with in their creations, which is also reflected in their latest works created during their four-week stay in Bechyně.

The initial idea behind this project was to show the work of artists who were not allowed to display their work freely before 1989 or who belonged to the semi-official art scene. Shortly after the aim was to transform the exhibition into a representative show of contemporary art.

The 35m2 gallery presents two monumental works, two different environments. Both spaces are based on the same material context, the same material language. Yet each of these realizations appeals to different senses using different techniques and materials. These new spatial configurations, structures, and installations, which shape our spatial orientation and navigation through space, primarily appeal to our basic senses, our sensory memory, and our individual/private memory.

These two exhibitions share a certain local specificity. The Screenopolis exhibition attempts to reflect certain local themes through contemporary art, while Marian Palla's exhibition presents a locally based artist and his work. At the same time, there is a certain connection between the authors of these two exhibitions in that both subscribe to conceptual thinking.
Nikita Kadan
The lecture by the internationally known Ukrainian artist Nikita Kadan at the Academy of Fine Arts was introduced and accompanied by a debate with the Russianist and semiotician Tomáš Glanc. Kadan lives and works in Kiev. He works with various media, including installation, sculpture, painting and collage.

The exhibition becomes an environment of matter itself, not only of space, but also of individual objects that we glimpse as they rest. Both authors complement each other perfectly in their work. Neither is dominant, neither is lost. Interest arises in ordinary, insignificant things that are materially interconnected. The material is important here. It forms the main essence of the entire content of the exhibition.
Jiří Thýn
Jiří Thýn approaches the photographic medium, objects, site-specific installations, and video installations intuitively. In his own words, he tries to work with photography as if he were painting. This allows him to express himself authentically and emotionally through gestures. The author also draws digitally with a computer cursor, without striving for consistent perfection. He is now looking for a way to work with photography in a completely immediate way, moving toward the principle of chance in the digital process. The exhibition Silence, Torso, Presence encourages quiet reflection, contemplation of the perception of time not only in photography but also in the history of sculpture, and reflection on "torsos" which, although they evoke heaviness, refer to the basic forms and principles of our existence.

The Grey Brick 34/1993 exhibition, included works by 34 artists born between 1941 and 1964 chosen by the jury whose members were Jana Geržová, Mahulena Nešlehová and Petr Nedoma. This successful summer exhibition took place in the gallery U Bílého jednorožce (At the White Unicorn) in the square in Klatovy and also in the Chateau Klenová and its park.

The objects are metal structures of various shapes woven with yarn, which the artists hand-dyed using different types of tea. They use weaving or scrubbing techniques, which, incidentally, most of us know primarily as half-forgotten craft practices. Their focus corresponds to the increased interest of contemporary artists in materials and technologies such as textiles, ceramics, and glass, which have long been neglected. Julia and Barbora, however, approach textiles without any obvious retro nostalgia, which could be tempting.

Seventy eight artists were introduced by a reproduction of their work and a short text. This team aimed at confronting the artists and creating a parallel to work of artists who could exhibit their work officially. However, there were different limiting factors.
Erika Bornová
Beneath the surface of seemingly ordinary motifs in Erika Bornová's work, there are often hidden disturbing messages—frustration, uncertainty, anxiety, (sweet) painful obsessions—that bring forgotten experiences or suppressed feelings and attitudes back to life. From the outset, an important leitmotif in the artist's work has been a return to the past, whether personal or collective history.
Kateřina Komm
Kateřina Komm's artistic work to date clearly reveals her intention to layer, compose, and continuously transform countless images, texts, and records of events, inspiring experiences, and impressions from various places, times, and spaces. The author's reflections on vividly resonant moments open up space for further associative ideas, which form richly branched lines of meaning in the resulting sculptures, objects, drawings, and installations. Some of the works were created based on inspiration from a specific object, work of art, or architecture, while others may be a direct imprint of a found object, or even a magical experience of a symbolic nature.

Artlist:Talk enriches the possibilities of this procedural documentation and offers artists a live presentation format. The aim of Artlist:Talk - like Artlist - is to provide the interested public with an understanding of contemporary artistic approaches and expression, which in this case is complemented by the unique perspective of the artists themselves.
Antony Gormley
Antony Gormley’s passion is to ask whether a human form – as both a vessel for the body and a container for the mind – can be a contemporary subject for contemplation; questions that are essentially spiritual.
