PRAGUE WILDERNESS – LANDSCAPE FESTIVAL PRAGUE 2018
The Jaroslav Fragner Gallery
21.06.2018 - 30.09.2018
In the summer months, Prague will become a scene of the sixth annual international Landscape Festival, which focuses on urban public space and urbanized landscape in the Czech Republic. For this year’s edition, Prague’s localities, whose future is currently the subject of discussions – Štvanice island , Rohanský ostrov island, Vítkov hill and Žižkov, were selected on the basis of a discussion with professional public. In the framework of future revitalization they should become an example of the quality development of urban landscape and public space in the wider centre of Prague. This exhibition wants you to be guided through these locations using conceptual studies, competitions or student projects that have been or are being realized in recent years.
The festival does not have a central area. Its main idea is a creation of an alternative tourist route to the overheated centre, the interconnection of the “Prague Wilderness” and the introduction of the potential of possible future centres of social activities of these city districts. In addition, the search for broader urban relations to other localities such as Holesovice Market, Bubny, Florenc, Palmovka, Olšanská or Jarov.
The Jaroslav Fragner Gallery, supported by the Ministry of Culture, other partners and companies, has been organizing the LANDSCAPE FESTIVAL since 2013. In the years 2014 to 2015 it took place at the Žižkov Freight Railway Station. In 2016 it took place in Opava, last year it was located in Pilsen and it returns back to Prague this year.
