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).

Creation – Myth – Art
1. 3. – 17. 5. 2025 | HYB4 Galerie / Kampus Hybernská, Praha
curators: Jiří Janák, Petr Košárek, Filip Kazda, Michal Štochl
Joint project Czech Institute of Egyptology, Faculty of Arts, Charles University and HYB4 Galerie Kampus Hybernská connects ancient Egyptian texts and contemporary visual arts. The project, led by Associate Professor Jiří Janák, builds on the research of ancient Egyptian religion and is based on new translations and interpretations of the original sources.
Czech artists are inspired by a specially prepared translation of sources from the period from the 3rd millennium BC to the 1st century AD and create works in various styles and techniques. The project also includes a visual presentation of the archaeological results of the Czech Institute of Egyptology of the Faculty of Arts of Charles University from Abusir, including photographs, films and other materials. The exhibition will be complemented by an educational and popularization program, including lectures and events for the public.
Among the artists involved in the project are, for example Daniel Balabán, Jan Bažant, Radka Bodzewicz, Petr Nikl, Dita Jiříčková, Lída Kejmarová, Miloš Šejn, Svatopluk Klimeš, Martin Mainer, Veronika Holcová and others.
For the project Creation — Myth — Art the curators of the exhibition selected a version of the myth originating from one of the most important religious centers of ancient Egypt, from the city of Iunu (Heliopolis), which once stood in the northeastern suburbs of present-day Cairo.
This is not an exact scholarly translation of a specific ancient text, but an adapted and retold version of the myth composed of original sources of different genres, modes of use, and dating. The text has been prepared to reflect as closely as possible both the original mythological ideas and the usual structure of ancient Egyptian and ancient myths in general, and above all to enable the reader to understand the whole myth as well as its individual passages)without the need for further interpretation or footnotes.
Therefore, originally one-word expressions or hieroglyphic characters are broken down into longer phrases and some religious ideas are explained directly within the narrative. The myth also contains verbatim quotations from the so-called Pyramid Texts dating from the mid-3rd millennium B.C. In other passages, the text adopts religious ideas, names, titles, or epithets of the gods attested only in hymns from the late 2nd millennium B.C., and some other motifs of the story originally appear in ritual texts that survive only on papyri from the 1st-2nd centuries A.D.
The myth of the creation of the world, which was available to the artists involved in the Creation - Myth - Art project, is itself an artificial creation. It is not attested in this form from Egyptian sources, yet it tells a story using indigenous motifs, linguistic turns of phrase and mental imagery.

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.
