Video of Miloš Šejn's work from 1989–2022Presented by: Sylva Poláková
Guests: Miloš Šejn, Petr Vaňous
Since the beginning of the 1960s, Miloš Šejn has been subjecting nature to subjective artistic research - whether the historical humanised or the still wild nature. Performances in which the face, inarticulate language or the contact of hands and feet with materials and the given environment are accentuated are combined with expressive drawing and with digital visual means. Deposit of memory is the title of the last exhibition of the still active creator, which took place in the spring of 2024 in the Prague gallery Jilská 14. Under the same title, the Ponrepo cinema will present an author's selection of video works by Miloš Šejn from 1989-2022, in which a dive into his own memories.
The screening will take place with the personal participation of the author Miloš Šejn and in the presence of the curator of the exhibition Petr Vaňous. The event takes place in cooperation with the gallery Jilská 14 (Memory deposit, 6 March - 27 April 2024).

30.9. – 28.11.2021 | ENTRANCE Gallery, Prague
Entrance Gallery is the first artistic space in Prague that focuses systematically in its long-term program on the issues of ecological sustainability and care for the environment. We view this problem as socially urgent and very complex because it includes a wide spectrum of constituent topics and questions. This allows us to structure the gallery program to include the introduction of various artistic, theoretical, or practical attitudes and views.
As far as the actual gallery operation is concerned, we try to implement such practices that correspond with our environmentally and ecologically conscious content. The key values for us are those striving for sustainability and aiming to reduce consumption, those that support horizontal cooperation, discussion and (self)education and those that also stress the importance of slow curating, preferring quality over quantity. In this sense, we try to focus on long-term cooperation and activities that don’t necessarily lead towards immediate public presentation, but are an essential part of developing the gallery’s mission and applying our vision (for instance, the reading group, international networking, and cooperation on artistic projects that take place during the whole year etc.).
The dramaturgy of the gallery is now based on three main program ‘pillars’ and we would like to add a fourth one:
Exhibitions and artistic events
Research and community-based program focused towards the artistic scene
Educational program aimed at the neighbourhood, education and popularization of the general public
Long-term artistic projects connected to gallery’s place and/or residencies
The exhibition by Milos Šejn “SEMI-OPEN” aims to explore the multi-layered history of the site both of the Orangeria and of the entire complex of gardens of the Břevnov monastery, but also the existence of the monastery itself and adjacent spaces, directly charged with questions such as White Mountain, the former deer-park Hvězda and, after all, the likeness of the life of contemporary man and the landscape in this area of the city of Prague in the middle of today's world. The author will be true to his previous artistic direction and will work consistently with both the given spaces and the position of himself, as a living being in the midst of beings other than only human society, but also a living verity within the organism of the place, its geological memory, the life of vegetation, the life of so-called higher organisms and all their manifestations as they are present in the forms of language, communication, being, co-existence and every conceivable form of architecture. Architecture in the literal sense as well as architecture in the sense of dreaming, wishing, co-caring, co-being.
The author's presentation includes not only the "gallery" exhibit itself, but also related community types of meetings like SITE, WORD and TIME.

curator: Martina Vítková
Peaceful Relaxing, © Miro ŠvolíkIf you think of a painter as someone who is moved by the picturesque landscape and experiences his horrors and furies in front of a stand in nature or a studio, a palette in one hand, a paintbrush in the other, a beret on his head, and an amusing pipe in the corner of his lips, then Miloš Šejn is not a painter. He is not an observer of the world around him, he is intrinsically his body and intellect both a part and a tool of events.
Miloš Šejn’s intermediate approach includes painting, drawing, performance, conceptual procedures, land art, work with an archive of found naturals, handling of word, photography, sound recording, and new media. He does not paint in a studio; his studio is nature, a garden, a landscape without walls or roofs. Šejn's activity is open to the natural processes to which he tunes himself, listens to them, influences them by his presence, intensity, and the words that come to him. He works on the ground, the frame some paintings get later, and for others it's not at all relevant. He uses his hands directly rather than a set of brushes. Through them he guides the strokes of wood, lodes, fingers, sizzle and drip, the friction of natural and pigments against each other ... The whole body of the artist becomes the instrument of the creation of the work. Words and sounds arise during the creative process, are part of it, as are colors or gestures. The author stores these kind of poems in typewritten notation, some fragments manifested in calligraphic form. Calligraphy is not only beautiful, but gestural, with immediacy, action, movement, and dance. For Miloš Šejn, there is no difference between a record of nature, a painting and a poem.
He, in a creative act, reconciles the visual with the acoustic; the painting is made with the co-operation of multiple senses. Everything we perceive and hear in the landscape, the cauliflowers, the noise, the wind, the gurgle of water, the croon of frogs, imprints on us. The artist also works with his own recordings. The genesis of a work of art and the process of knowing a particular place can be an identical process. Globally, Šejn’s approach could be described as communicating with the landscape.
The paintings bear GPS coordinates specifying the territory of origin of the work. They tend to be popular places in the Bohemian Paradise landscape and elsewhere. Agara is the Celtic name of the Ohře River, Javoří brook can be located in the Giant Mountains, gardens in the Baroque landscape at Jičín. The effect on the landscape, and thus on its articulate record, must necessarily have a time of cyclic as well as fragmentary, natural calendar, pagan and Catholic holidays, Walpurgis Night or St James's Night, farm time of sowing, ripening and harvesting. The artist taps into the primordial, the nature of man-made nature that we suspect beyond the wilderness, farmed and cared for by man. He comes into direct contact with the natural order, with grass, leaves, shrubs, streams, water, stones, hills, furrows, light, dirt, marshes, and forests.
Miloš Šejn belongs to a family of wizards of the Earth, to whom the landmark Magicians de la Terre exhibition in Paris in 1988 was dedicated. For more than half a century, he has been collecting wildlife, making it into an archive, understood as a base, a gateway, a way for imagery – a mental activity in which the clichés of the everyday can be transcended, tapping into the resources inside and outside us that expand the world’s perception and understanding. The process of creation is what it is, and at the same time ritual, play, myth-making, purification, connection, harmony. Physicality plays an important role, knowledge by all senses, skin responsiveness and, through walking, performativity. Perceptions, experiences and visions recorded through painting, drawing, sound recording, photography, video or language form a whole, a single world.
The idea of the whole is influenced by the limits of the human body; Šejn's work is also about finding a line between the body and nature. We are the creation of the earth. She's our Mother. Performance can be understood as a body poem. The body we watch during the event is not an autobiography, rather a gestural and physical mapping. The artist becomes the landscape himself, there is complete identification, empathy, absolute experience. Art theory has the German term einfühlung for this.
The exhibition includes a table, chair and depository. The table does not define where we meet to eat; rather, it is the desk of a scholar, a researcher, something between laboratory and philosophy, pure but experience, and the use of a marked space for observation and thought. René Descartes or Immanuel Kant could have sat at a similar table. On the table, instead of a globe, are a pair of stones, transparent crystal, an enchanted water element, essences of spirituality and pyrites, a mineral as dense and dark as the weight of gravity, the essence of the earth, a symbol of human tools both constructive and destructive. The exposed dead trunk of a lemon tree is not just a found object and a drawing in space, it is tied to the earthly being of the author by time and place of birth.
Moving points of color and surfaces brings video projections of Gardening. The record of the desolate garden seen by Milos Šejn is like a glimpse into the sun, reflections and lights clinging to the algae as loved it by Karel Malich, but also the cycle of nature, the Gardener's Year, portrayed by Karel Čapek. The projection rewrites the installation from the old garden convoys with which we used to irrigate the needed places. The end has years of proven shape and material, a symbol of caring for a land whose moisture we use for ourselves.
We see the landscape and art in a largely contradictory way, art is man-made, nature is not man-made, man is a part of it, his existence rewrites and influences it as much as any other inhabitant of the planet. Nature and art are a common creativity, a movement. Art also functions as a new possibility of man-to-man spiritual touch, maker-to-viewer, for example, through the landscape. The painting is a record, a map, and an aesthetically fascinating new shape. As part of the exhibition, a painting depository is ready for the visitor to leaf through. Through the entrance to the exhibition, we seem to be invited into the artist's personal space. The whole is a visual event brought to life by performance, with Miloš Šejn sitting in a chair at the table.

It was a moment so full of elusive image of beauty and bewitching words.
Thus, images are born, which are not only a message, which anyone should be excited about. They are fragments of a living presence.

I fell through the waterfall by flash and cut the surface with living flow line.
So Dipper bird, which appeared for a moment to the end of the walking through the Javoří creek in the Giant mountains, told me.

Water is a significant phenomenon in Milos Šejn's work. Appears almost everywhere. Even the Sun Mountain was built above the stream flowing through it. In MUO / OLOMOUC MUSEUM OF ART – Theatre of Music you can see it on the long white wall in the hall (drawing, writing, painting), water framed and hanging, and a video stream flowing in the foyer.
Right from the water spring
The body of waters bites downwardly there
Where it roots in the deepest subsoil and
Turns its multiple eyes upward
Between grass and trees into the light
From where it was born.
Its being is becoming a shape
And its limbs growing through soil
In the endless folds
Always open embrace for seeing, speaking,
Finger printings and tracks of incoming
For touches the mouth of all beings
On the water surface.
We are also bodies of water
Seemingly break away from this immensity.

Šeinovy transformace Janáčkových nápěvků představují jeden z potenciálně možných způsobů nahlížení, čtení, interpretací a reinterpretací těchto svébytných dokumentů. Některé listy graficky zmnožují jednotlivé expresívní výrazy v řetězcích přepisů, kdy se písmo postupně ztrácí a znovuobjevuje v nových a nových variacích, původní zvukový impulz je rozvíjen v obrazových situacích, jež lze číst opět sluchově. Podoby řeči jsou tu znovu a jinak ohledávány někdy pomocí konfrontace psaného obrazotextu s kolážovanými útržky původních Janáčkových notací a textů, nebo též s obrazy podnětů, k nimž se některé původní nápěvky vztahují – jako oživené předměty (židle, dveře), petrifikované notace projevů živých bytostí (ptáci, lidé) či bytostí imaginárních a halucinativních – například čert. Výsledné transformace lze vnímat jako předmětné básně, jako expresívní obrazotext a také, nikoliv v poslední míře, jako svébytné partitury.
Odkazy ke konkrétním Janáčkovým nápěvkům jsou vždy přesně uvedeny, respektují současný systém jejich archivace a tak je v každém případě možné posoudit, jaký je konkrétní vztah mezi původním notačním záznamem a jazykově předmětným rozezněním v nových sonických obrazoprostorech. Možné partiturní způsoby nástrojových interpretací i čtení modů, směrových orientací, temp, času a ech jsou pak zcela volné.

Right from the water spring
The body of waters bites downwardly there
Where it roots in the deepest subsoil and turns its multiple eyes Upward
Between grass and trees into the light
From where it was born.
Its being is becoming a shape
And its limbs growing through soil in the endless folds
Always open embrace for seeing, speaking, fingerprintings and tracks Of incoming
For touches the mouth of all beings on the water surface.
We are also bodies of water
Temporarily detached from this immensity.

European names for flows whose original meaning
was water, morass.

A solo exhibition of Milos Šejn is dedicated to the Underground, the Moravian Karst and Býčí skála Cave. It is consisted from a mix of various media, including of an intact work with the gallery space.
Miloš Šejn: The Býčí skála Cave 28th June 2011
Glaukon tells the story, which experienced warrior Er, that twelve days after his death revived and told what he saw on the other side:
„…they could see from above a line of light, straight as a column, extending right through the whole heaven and through the earth, in colour resembling the rainbow, only brighter and purer; another day's journey brought them to the place, and there, in the midst of the light, they saw the ends of the chains of heaven let down from above: for this light is the belt of heaven, and holds together the circle of the universe, like the under-girders of a trireme. From these ends is extended the spindle of Necessity, on which all the revolutions turn. The shaft and hook of this spindle are made of steel, and the whorl is made partly of steel and also partly of other materials. Now the whorl is in form like the whorl used on earth; and the description of it implied that there is one large hollow whorl which is quite scooped out, and into this is fitted another lesser one, and another, and another, and four others, making eight in all, like vessels which fit into one another; the whorls show their edges on the upper side, and on their lower side all together form one continuous whorl. This is pierced by the spindle, which is driven home through the centre of the eighth. The first and outermost whorl has the rim broadest, and the seven inner whorls are narrower, in the following proportions--the sixth is next to the first in size, the fourth next to the sixth; then comes the eighth; the seventh is fifth, the fifth is sixth, the third is seventh, last and eighth comes the second. The largest is spangled, and the seventh is brightest; the eighth coloured by the reflected light of the seventh; the second and fifth are in colour like one another, and yellower than the preceding; the third has the whitest light; the fourth is reddish; the sixth is in whiteness second. Now the whole spindle has the same motion; but, as the whole revolves in one direction, the seven inner circles move slowly in the other, and of these the swiftest is the eighth; next in swiftness are the seventh, sixth, and fifth, which move together; third in swiftness appeared to move according to the law of this reversed motion the fourth; the third appeared fourth and the second fifth. The spindle turns on the knees of Necessity; and on the upper surface of each circle is a siren, who goes round with them, hymning a single tone or note. The eight together form one harmony…“

Opening performance by Frank van de Ven / 14th June 2012, photo: J.K.Čeliš
Text is as important in Miloš Šejn’s work as all the other media that can be called artistic, as Šejn is a visual artist; but his techniques include many activities – from ‘classic’ kinds like drawing, painting and photography to performance art that goes beyond the boundaries of shape, which is over and over again redefined by his work. Text appears in many forms. It might be part of a drawn message, inscribed in a picture in the page of an artist’s book or in a painting; it moulds itself into a bold or meticulous drawing and encryption, seeking a total grasp of reality, just like thorough, precise descriptions in the names of works or the commentaries on them. Besides photos and videos, these become a further or even the only imprint/record, as in the case of his body sculpture or other personal and intimate interactions with nature or public performances. As well as in drawings, artist’s books and other works of an interdisciplinary character, text takes on other forms in transcriptions/transformations of primary texts (created by ‘hand’), which are a continuation of work with the original written record, a reflection (reminiscence of a return) on authentic moments of creative activity in the natural environment as well as one of the ways of presenting his projects. Presentation of own work is also one of the functions of the collection of texts called Fire of Archives and Cabinets of Heart, which is the core of this publication.
This way of understanding the author’s work also constitutes a thought axis of the exhibition Archives and Cabinets in the Regional Gallery / Museum of European Art in Liberec.
Two parts of Milos Šejn's archives from fifties, sixties and seventies.
Cabinet of Tree of Identity
The horror and the beauty in the heart of a little child. What else to write here? An Art Deco sculpture of Harlequin’s demonic grimace, possibly important for the pre-war understanding of beauty, secret in North Bohemia and the infinite beauty of a kingfisher at a blue cove.
Next to several of father’s blue bindings are hiding my uncle’s translations of Maharishi and Vivekananda, which he, Bohumír Šejn, read out at the meetings of friends in Hana Wichterová’s studio during the late 1950s and early 1960s. The writings are lying on a fragment of a bookcase, a favourite part of Brehm’s Life of Animals and a mysterious monography the History of Rosicrucian Society, whose pictorial tables soon became cardinal to me.
There is also paper for series of drawings, a roll of birch bark, like a book, and a set of father’s bone folders.
Below, there are family relics: a Spiritualistic drawing by J. Kotzian called Solferino (17 September 1924), Josef Sudek’s photograph of Hana Wichterlová’s Black Head, and Wichterlová’s drawings of recommended yoga positions that she did for our family in 1957.
Another childhood paper film roll, my first collected stones and my later seals of the Gorges from the 1980s.
Even lower are father’s jars of medicinal plants and one of my first archive boxes from the 1950s. Diaries, equipment, colour scales…
Cabinet of Physical Mysteries
Scales (on which, for long years, I weighed the ingredients of my photographic developer for three-step gradation), measures, carat tables of the prices of precious stones and several obsidian Upper-Paleolithic tools from a cave in Slovakia, whose name I have forgotten and that were given to me by Václav Cílek at our first meeting, some-time in the early 1990s. “I always carry a stone like this in my pocket”, he said to me then,“ so I can, everyday, feel deeply the touch of that world whose masterpieces we scarcely understand now.
A condenser from a Magnitarus enlarger, which I used almost daily in my work during the 1980s. It also became part of a video installation at the international symposium FUNGUS in the Minorite Monastery in Plasy in 1994. Picture, sound, water architecture, a skeleton of the soul of my body and the physique of other bodies created an integral unity with the Moon of that evening.
Relics of my chemical laboratory whose size increased dangerously in the 1960s.
One of the reflector bulbs and a memory of its journeys to explosions of light.
Corroded bottom of a copper pot the family used for everyday life activities – for me, not very practically, it meant something more mysterious. Boiling, steaming, changing colours, questions, misunderstanding, anticipation.
Cabinet of Creativity
Museum, collage, objects of study.
Right at the top rests a body of a stone-transformed branch from a relatively recent time.
Below, some natural material from my desk, as it developed during the years. And on the right is a measuring glass with a bottle of gold dust. Both very old, but used quite recently during the performance art show Golden Waters of Vltava at the piazzeta of the National Theatre in Prague, as part of Quadriennale’s scenography.
Right at the bottom, again, there is a time mixture: one of the parts of my little muse-um from the early 1960s, together with a yellow-lichen-covered twig from the Kobyla quarry in Czech Karst (peeled of on the way with Frank van de Ven), and Swedish moss collected during my wonderings with SU-EN through northern taiga, around Haglund Skola’s studio.
Cabinet of Book Legacy
Books. Knowledge. My records from repeated journeys up the Javoří potok brook be-tween the peatbogs of Černá Hora and the valley of Úpa river in the Krkonoše mountains possess intimacy as well as universal monumentality. Also the memories of the past and the evanescent present. Words run and sometimes maybe grope at the future.
A corpus lies on books of similar topics; two are a night-time transformation of historical books. At the top of Zebín, in the foothills of Krkonoše, I imagined the place into the texts of the Ovid’s Metamorphosis and Novalis’s Hymns to the Night.
The whole installation is based on the found seismic records from the Mayrau lignite mine near Kladno, authorized as found books.
Seba. One of the greatest collectors of his time. How to put in understanding and colourfulness of the present.
At the back: Berounka / St. George, at the place of transformation of the rivers Mže, Radbuza and Úslava into a new name of a river, molten lead poured into the water on the location, gold-plated, 49˚45’50.52“ 13˚24’44.42“, 7. 7. 2002
Miller’s dream book (19th centrury dream book in flour). It was also a prop for the film HYPNEROTOMACHIA MOLITORI / Miller’s Visions 2009.

Even lower are father’s jars of medicinal plants and one of my first archive boxes from the 1950s. Diaries, equipment, colour scales…
Cabinet of Physical Mysteries
Scales (on which, for long years, I weighed the ingredients of my photographic developer for three-step gradation), measures, carat tables of the prices of precious stones and several obsidian Upper-Paleolithic tools from a cave in Slovakia, whose name I have forgotten and that were given to me by Václav Cílek at our first meeting, some-time in the early 1990s. “I always carry a stone like this in my pocket”, he said to me then,“ so I can, everyday, feel deeply the touch of that world whose masterpieces we scarcely understand now.
A condenser from a Magnitarus enlarger, which I used almost daily in my work during the 1980s. It also became part of a video installation at the international symposium FUNGUS in the Minorite Monastery in Plasy in 1994. Picture, sound, water architecture, a skeleton of the soul of my body and the physique of other bodies created an integral unity with the Moon of that evening.
Relics of my chemical laboratory whose size increased dangerously in the 1960s.
One of the reflector bulbs and a memory of its journeys to explosions of light.
Corroded bottom of a copper pot the family used for everyday life activities – for me, not very practically, it meant something more mysterious. Boiling, steaming, changing colours, questions, misunderstanding, anticipation.
Cabinet of Creativity
Museum, collage, objects of study.
Right at the top rests a body of a stone-transformed branch from a relatively recent time.
Below, some natural material from my desk, as it developed during the years. And on the right is a measuring glass with a bottle of gold dust. Both very old, but used quite recently during the performance art show Golden Waters of Vltava at the piazzeta of the National Theatre in Prague, as part of Quadriennale’s scenography.
Right at the bottom, again, there is a time mixture: one of the parts of my little muse-um from the early 1960s, together with a yellow-lichen-covered twig from the Kobyla quarry in Czech Karst (peeled of on the way with Frank van de Ven), and Swedish moss collected during my wonderings with SU-EN through northern taiga, around Haglund Skola’s studio.
Cabinet of Book Legacy
Books. Knowledge. My records from repeated journeys up the Javoří potok brook be-tween the peatbogs of Černá Hora and the valley of Úpa river in the Krkonoše mountains possess intimacy as well as universal monumentality. Also the memories of the past and the evanescent present. Words run and sometimes maybe grope at the future.
A corpus lies on books of similar topics; two are a night-time transformation of historical books. At the top of Zebín, in the foothills of Krkonoše, I imagined the place into the texts of the Ovid’s Metamorphosis and Novalis’s Hymns to the Night.
The whole installation is based on the found seismic records from the Mayrau lignite mine near Kladno, authorized as found books.
Seba. One of the greatest collectors of his time. How to put in understanding and colourfulness of the present.
At the back: Berounka / St. George, at the place of transformation of the rivers Mže, Radbuza and Úslava into a new name of a river, molten lead poured into the water on the location, gold-plated, 49˚45’50.52“ 13˚24’44.42“, 7. 7. 2002
Miller’s dream book (19th centrury dream book in flour). It was also a prop for the film HYPNEROTOMACHIA MOLITORI / Miller’s Visions 2009.

site-specific installation in a frame of the Night Museum, 11 - 12 p.m.
Into the transformations of images and sounds in the space above the stairs it is possible to climb and descend through the apotheosis of night.
It's a dream about the museum of the history and future of human memory of the world.
Become Moonrise with your left eye, become Sunset by your right eye.
Olive bath of stairs arch with the floral window to heaven
Is covered
By waves of leaves and the vegetative body
And
It is framed by strict labyrinths paths,
Color of middle of light transforming
They turn into the rainbow arc from black to black again
Shades of night
Are drawn through the paths of swirling fireflies
By Midsummer Night life
Body and stars
METAMORPHOSEON, sound video site-specific installation, duration of one hour, 02.06.2012
METAMORPHOSIS representing one-hour mixed video loop, projected on the stucco ceiling and vitrages of the stair hall in former Liebieg‘s Neo-Renaissance villa. The character of historic areas, realised by Gustav Sacher, which was graduated in the Munich Academy of Fine Arts, it will be moved by work of Miloš Šejn. It also augurs character of his forthcoming retrospective at the gallery in Liberec since 14th June – 2nd September 2012.

The character of historic areas, realised by Gustav Sacher, which was graduated in the Munich Academy of Fine Arts, it will be moved by work of Miloš Šejn. It also augurs character of his forthcoming retrospective at the gallery in Liberec since 14th June – 2nd September 2012.
For over 15 years, Miloš Šejn, whose retrospective exhibition can be seen on the gallery’s ground floor, has been taking part in organizing the activities of Bohemiae Rosa. This company creates site specific art projects, which work with the Genius Loci of a place and are intended to make a specific place more extraordinary. One of the site specific projects was the video installation called Metamorphoseon / Metamorphoses, which took place in the Liberec Regional Gallery during the Museum Night of 2 June 2012.
Metamorphoses is a one-hour loop of video collage projected at the stucco ceiling and stained glass of the staircase hall of this Neo-Renaissance villa, which was built for Johann Liebieg the younger. The staircase hall in which you find yourself is amongst the most representative parts of the whole villa. In its interior there are stucco decorations, wall reliefs with mythological motifs, a staircase railing rich in artistry and a stained glass skylight with plant motifs. The visitor will barely notice the grandeur of the space at the first glance, however, as most of the decor is placed outside the usual angle of view.
This is why Miloš Šejn came up with a video installation that directs the viewer’s eyes towards the ceiling. The medium of film gives the Neo-Renaissance message of harmony between man and Nature a different form. The projection uses two parallel sequences – an outer one, which creates a ‘frame’, and an inner one, which fills the center of the shot. The outer sequence shows the movement of fireflies, while the inner uses views of many natural structures. A hologram full of energy unfolds in front of the viewer’s eyes, reminiscent of the perpetual whirl of microscopic particles. The dance of these particles, their incessant creation and destruction, their pulsation, simulates well the film of fireflies. In the main sequence, a human figure appears briefly as a reminder of the High Renaissance ideal of harmony between man and his unspoiled natural environment.
The video installation heralded the unconventional character of the artist’s retrospective exhibition called Archives and Cabinets, which will be running at the Liberec Regional Gallery from 14 June until 2 September 2012.

curated by Jiří Machalický
Miloš Šejn gehört seit den Sechziger Jahren des vergangenen Jahrhunderts zu den markanten Persönlichkeiten der tschechischen konzeptuellen Kunst. Šejns Werk ist ein klares Beispiel für das Begreifen der Kunst als Reflexion der Natur. Er arbeitet dabei bereits im Grenzbereich zur „Land Art“. Ausgangspunkt seiner künstlerischen Arbeit ist die beinahe wissenschaftliche Untersuchung der Natur. Der tschechische Kunstprofessor sammelt und ordnet Mineralien, Pflanzen und Tiere nach wissenschaftlichen Kriterien, untersucht ihre Mikrostruktur. Zu seinen Naturbeobachtungen entstehen zahlreiche Notizen. Diese sinnliche, sachliche und schriftliche Annäherung an das Phänomen Natur findet Eingang in die künstlerische Arbeit. Neben Zeichnungen mit natürlichen Pigmenten wird Miloš Šejn eine Installation und eine Videoarbeit zeigen.

7° international art symposium
7. - 13. 7. 2024 Sloup, Sloupsko Šošůvské Caves, CZ
"We only talk to ourselves. We don't talk to the rivers, we don't listen to the wind and the stars. We interrupted a great conversation. By interrupting this conversation, we broke the universe. All the disasters that are happening now are the result of this spiritual 'autism'."
(Thomas Berry)
7° is an international art symposium situated in the environment of the Moravian Karst nature reserve. The name 7° symbolically comes from the temperature that is constant in the caves throughout the year (reported as 7-9°C). The purpose of the festival is to support interdisciplinary dialogue and develop artistic practice related to the themes of prehistoric art, karst caves, sustainable tourism, prehistoric architecture, natural sciences, anthropology, ecology.

PAF 2024 / DIARIES
5. – 8. 12. 2024 | PAF – Festival of Film Animation and Contemporary Art, Olomouc
The 23rd edition of PAF Olomouc – Festival of Film Animation and Contemporary Art – will take place from December the 5th to the 8th, 2024. This year's festival theme is Diaries. Diaries can take the form of stories or notes, they can be a purposefully invested work in self-reflection, an unintended consequence of time spent on social networks, or any other form of periodic writing. But all these forms of recording raise the question – are diaries meant to be read?
Diaries take the form of narratives or notes that do not only relate to the calendar’s timeline. Diaries can also function with gaps and pauses in their records. Diaries are a dialogue with technology, where the transformation of thinking takes place based on the touch of keyboards, typewriters, recordings on a camera or a recorder.
Diary as a survival strategy. Diary for sharing. Diary as an emancipation tool. Diary as a manifestation. As a law of attraction. Diary as a memorial device. Diary as a marketing strategy. As a profession. As a source of income. As a promotion tool. Gossips. About you and others. Diary as a description. Of the weather, sport results, achievements, mood. Diary as a habit tracker. Diary for keeping history alive. Diary as an interpretation. Diary as therapy. Diary as telling the stories of others. Diary as telling your story.

As a profession. As a source of income. As a promotion tool. Gossips. About you and others. Diary as a description. Of the weather, sport results, achievements, mood. Diary as a habit tracker. Diary for keeping history alive. Diary as an interpretation. Diary as therapy. Diary as telling the stories of others. Diary as telling your story.
