NonGalleries
symposium about site specific NonGalleries
- Wednesday Mar 7 / 4.30 pm, Casino
An afternoon dedicated to nearly two dozen of the most important (non)galleries (galleries operating in an unconventional manner or in unusual places) throughout the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
They are autonomous, independent, and flexible. Most of them are never closed. They resonate with local audiences, and tend to work creatively with a particular place. You will find them in a never completed funeral hall, a cemetery, the window display of an empty store, the hallway of an apartment, a courtyard passageway, on a street with a large puddle, in the display cases of a functional auto repair shop, in a graffiti-covered pedestrian underpass, on a railway turntable, a railway station platform, a bus stop, but also in an empty wallet or working refrigerator …
One thing that is clear, however, is that these unique, seemingly bohemian artistic projects are the result of the concentrated effort of the organizers, curators, artists, and enthusiasts who will participate in today’s gathering not only to present their galleries, but also to mutually enrich and inspire each other by sharing their experiences. You will find out what motivated them to establish and operate their non-galleries, and will hear about their dreams, limitations, and possibilities.
