Places of Act 2026
Město snů (City of Dreams)
The exhibition Housing Estate unfolds as an intricate meditation on the phenomenon of the Czech pre-fabricated housing estates, tracing their myriad incarnations—from intimate childhood memories lived within concrete walls to contemporary artistic and architectural reflections.
K sobě
18 young people. 18 ways to learn to say ‘I am enough.’ A performance about what happens inside us when we allow ourselves to love ourselves.
Krištof Kintera: How Can I Help You?
In his site-specific installation, How Can I Help You?, Kintera extends his sustained inquiry into the poetics of terminology, turning his gaze toward the precarious cartography of human affect, need, and psychic condition. Conceived as a monumental bar composed of more than three thousand glass vessels—each inscribed with the name of a distinct feeling, mood, desire, or impulse—the installation materializes as a spatially choreographed inventory of the human psyche, while simultaneously offering itself as a mapping of the collective emotional landscape of our present moment.
Unique Sacred Cultivation Cooperative: Cash Desk
Installation for the Galaxie Cultural Station, 2025
The artistic collective Unique Sacred Cultivation Cooperative (CZ: Jedinečné svatopěstitelské družstvo) has conceived a visual design for the cash desk at Galaxie, transforming it into a portal to the analog age of cinema. The installation evokes the era of videotapes and video rental stores, wistfully reflecting on the vanished world of communal film experiences in the wake of the rise of home entertainment. VHS or Betamax?
Sídliště (Housing Estate)
The exhibition Housing Estate unfolds as an intricate meditation on the phenomenon of the Czech pre-fabricated housing estates, tracing their myriad incarnations—from intimate childhood memories lived within concrete walls to contemporary artistic and architectural reflections. At its heart lies a central inquiry: how these monumental panel structures, known in Czech as paneláky, have shaped the lives of generations, what challenges they confront in the present moment, and how they now emerge as fertile ground for inspiration across disciplines of art and thought. A particular spotlight is cast upon South City, one of the most vast and emblematic housing complexes in the Czech Republic. This “city within a city” stands simultaneously as a symbol of anonymity and as a place marked by its own history, social pulse, and austere aesthetic resonance.
