The DEPOSIT OF MEMORY exhibition is conceptually conceived as an intuitive author's mini-retrospective. References to civilisation (antiques) and personal memory (references to the author's mother and father) are mixed here.

The theme of the exhibition with the working title U-zones are educationally oriented projects initiated from the environment of art and focused on the search for new relationships with the planet Earth and all its inhabitants. Similar to the already realized presentations of Welcome to Spring (2022) or The beat of the landscape (2021), this one will also pass through time and we will meet older activities (Bohemiae Rosa by Miloš Šejn, Pilgrim by Jiří Zemánek and Tomáš Hrůza...) as well as current projects (AB HPP Aleš Čermák, Hana Magdoňová's Agronauts*Collective...). They reflect changes and different shades of artistic, environmental and pedagogical discourses, explore the ways of their cooperation and above all show the courage to change and the desire to share.

Jak sbírat umění: příběh Karla Tutsche
GALERIE MODERNÍHO UMĚNÍ V HRADCI KRÁLOVÉ

curated by Petra Příkazská

Collecting fine art is one of the activities in which a modern person can realize himself. He prescribes his interests, hobbies and opinions on what is good, quality, meaningful or beautiful to the universe of the growing collection. The creation of a collection is an open and dynamic process, the outcome of which is not known in advance, because together with the collection, the knowledge and experience of the collector about the given topic also deepens, and thus its future is gradually transformed.

The exhibition How to collect art will introduce the viewer to the lifelong work of Karel Tutsch (1941–2008), a connoisseur, collector and unorthodox tireless supporter of young artists, who for more than a quarter of a century ran the Na perched gallery at his own expense and contributed to the promotion of Czech art abroad and on the contrary.

The exhibition will be a reconstruction of Tutsch's journey from an amateur collector of small graphics and ex libris to a recognized connoisseur and owner of one of the most important collections of his time. In addition, the individual works of art, which were found in a small Brno apartment by the collector's decision, together create a subjective and thus unrepeatable encyclopedia of Czech art from the mid-60s of the 20th century to 2008, rounded off by a chapter dedicated to the Berlin art scene of the early 2000s, which at that time it was experiencing its greatest boom and where budding artists from all over Europe flocked.

The collection was purchased by GMU in 2021 with the support of KHK and the following year was supplemented with a set of original drawings for the catalogs of the Na perched gallery.

Video of Miloš Šejn's work from 1989–2022
Presented 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).
