Display cases
DISPLAY CASES located in the passageway when entering the ÚLUV building at Charvátova Street no. 10
The original glass display cases of the former Krásná jizba (Beautiful Home) outlet in the ÚLUV building contain an exhibition by two alternative exhibition spaces. These galleries are "peripheral" not only because they are not located in Prague, but also because they exist on the edge their cities and on the edge of public interest, though each has its own specific genius loci.
The first of the two is the Vitrínky ("display cases") gallery, located on the wall of the Severočeské Armaturka industrial facility in Předlice, an industrial neighborhood of the town of Ústí nad Labem. Although not too far from the city center, it is not exactly the kind of place where one might expect to find a gallery. Many of the local factories have shut down, but the neighborhood is still vibrant and the former factory spaces are beginning to take on new functions.
The second display case features an exhibit organized by the Na shledanou ("good-bye") gallery, which has given new life to an unused ceremonial hall built in 1989 at the cemetery in the town of Volyně. Several times a year, curator Jan Freiberg asks selected resident artists to respond to this specific site.
