I’m standing in the middle of the river and trying not to drown.

Bone Tone Shelf Self

Julia Grybos, Nicolás Lamas, Barbora Zentková
By imitating the gestures of objects and things that are already in the gallery space; by slowing down, pausing, lingering, alighting, unwinding... through these actions we can escape the entrenched trajectories we found ourselves on in the morning, rid ourselves momentarily of what we have already become, so that we can lose ourselves in thoughts of what we might be.

Architecture of coexistence: VinziRast-mittendrin

Vojtěch Sigmund, Karolína Kripnerová, Janek Rous
The third part of the Architecture of Coexistence cycle answers many questions about the life of a seemingly disparate group of roommates. They met in 2009 during student riots where the space of an occupied university building provided shelter for both protesting students and the homeless. The necessary dialogue and negotiations that emerged between the overnighters and the protesters led to a simple revelation: the homeless and students can work on their goals together.

František Fekete

In the poetics of identities, it is important to return to a certain point of zero, which is also a breaking point. My self is breaking through certain limitations and constantly fighting against itself. It is always in the process of becoming, and this process is always accompanied by a certain disjointedness. I am nobody and at the same time I am everybody. I belong to the  anywheres , to those who are at home everywhere and nowhere at the same time. I don’t know if that is a reason to be sad.

Pro(s)thetic Dialogues

Alexandra Morales, Georgij Bagdasarov
Pro(s)thetic dialogues is more like a recording of a theatre performance playing out on a computer desktop. Here the human operator creates the conditions for exploring the performativity of a philosophical zombie pieced together from neural networks.

Ad finitum

Sára Vybíralová, Michal Kindernay
The section of the motorway D11, which will run across the Trutnov and Žacléř regions will add a part of the East Bohemain frontier district, a forgotten bracket between the Krkonoše National Park and the Protected Landscape Area of the Broumov region, as another bead to an illusory rosary connecting Paris with Moscow. It is no more controversial than the other eight motoways under construction in the Czech Republic. May the presented requiem for our landscape be read ad exemplum.

Mary Maggic
How do bodies queer at the molecular level? How is this queering inextricably tied to industrial capitalism? And is there a way out of capitalist ruins, one that has been further exacerbated by the pandemic?
