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.

Art Safari 36: TOGETHER
Curated by Daniela Kramerová
Miloš Šejn & Vladimír Javorský: CO–OPERATION
05.06. – 11.06.2021 | Studio Bubec
Prague, CZ
Prague, CZ
Art Safari 36 will be designed on the principle of artistic cooperation as well as activating visitors to participate artistically and experience the event. Selected artists who belong to the studio's tribal authors and have been instrumental in its existence will be approached with an offer to participate in this Art Safari. And - at the same time, they will be asked to choose the collaborator(s) with whom they will jointly create the work or installation for the show. The condition is artistic interaction (not just cooperation on the ground of realisation, for example), or the choice of an inspirational counterpart who is not necessarily from the art world, but who will support the search for more challenging avenues of cooperation.

IMAGE / BODY / SOUND – ČASOPYSK
Milos Sejn & David Helán
Agosto Foundation
Miloš Šejn will christen his new two-disk edition of Obraz-tělo-zvuk/Image-Body-Sound, released by Guerilla Records on his 70th birthday. Included in the event will be the presentation of the new book Časopysk by David Helán, once a student of Šejn, who now also performs with him. In addition, ArtMap will bring us up to date on future creative encounters and performative dialogue.
Miloš Šejn works in the fields of visual art, performance and study of visual perception, and conducts workshops, such as Bohemiae Rosa. His artistic concept was formed in his youth when he undertook many trips into the wilderness as a reflection of an inner need to get closer to the secret of nature and observe the miracles that happen in it. From the beginning of the 1960s he took pictures, drew, collected and described his observations of nature during these wanderings. Currently he teaches privately mixed media and the relationship of nature and art as intrinsic needs of the mind, and focuses on immediate creative possibilities, based upon relations between historical humanised landscapes and intact nature. He consciously is working in the areas of expressive language among text, visual stroke, body movement, voice, and expansion into space.
The CD contains various field recordings, such as the “ambient symphony” Colorum Naturae Varietas, while the DVD includes 27 recordings of a wide range, including performances, documentary works, video art, dream visions, drawings, images of nature, and the like. Included is a comprehensive interview, which in shortened form, appeared in the Revolver Review no. 103/2016. In all, the collection comprises an unusual, uncensored probe into the soul of the versatile artist, who in his work goes “beyond the limits”.
David Helán takes up the conceptual tendencies of the latter half of the 20th century. His works are scattered broadly, including performance, video performance, action art, installation, photographic works, fine art and new media, and their fusion. His name is also linked with the artist David Hřivňacký, with whom he has staged various performances mostly in gallery spaces. It is a characteristic of Helán and Hřivňacký’s works to use dadaistic principles, spontaneous immediacy, experimentation and humor. Last year, the dual-language author’s dictionary titled Časopysk won the call at the annual pilot project Artist Book #1 v Meet Factory.
Organized by: ArtMap Book Store, Agosto Foundation, Guerilla Records.
The event will take place at the Prague ArtMap bookstore in Vojtěšská 18 on Monday 27th November from 18:00.

injustice, a lack of solidarity, rising prices, polluted water...
Our world bubbles, the earth is a bubble, and
we are in crisis. However, there is the aesthetic and life-preserving
potential of the bubble: it is an equally rich metaphor for isolation
and ignorance as it is for nurturance, safety and protection, and evenwwww.lapsody2017.com
more so for perfection and effervescence. A multitude of bubbles might
merge, expand, form a foam, or collide, burst and disappear.
For this year’s LAPSody, we invite experts and contributors from all

environmental, philosophical, scientific and performative potential of
the bubble as a discursive and physical phenomenon.
We especially welcome proposals featuring non-conventional forms of

installations, post-truth performances, site specific discussions,
phlegmatic workshops and one-on-one-situations.

FoR mE iT’S tOO RAndOm is an allegory of performance. It represents an effort in pure beauty, while doing away with personal ballast and dissolving the ego – one of the most independent and carefully constructed personal components of the majority of artists-performers. Part of this event will be the Festival’s closing ceremony and the handing over awards in the jubilee tenth year of the Other Visions section.
The former Jesuit College is the location of the Art Centre of Palacký University. Lecture halls, workrooms and conference halls are located in this spatial baroque complex which consists of five art departments from the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Education. The Art Centre is involved in everyday cultural and artistic life. Inhabitants of Olomouc as well as tourists see film and theatre performances and concerts in the Corpus Christi Chapel and exhibitions installed in the large corridors.
Konvikt is accessible from Denisova Street. If you travel by tram, the Náměstí Republiky stop is not far away.

Day Six
Wednesday 22nd June – PERFORMANCE/How Performance Artists See Theatre
Early radical performance pieces from the 60s excluded typical theatrical elements such as duality of theatre, actors, roles, plots, rehearsals and repetitions, stage, given temporal frame, but even sufficed without the audience. Is there still a difference between theatre and performance art today? Distinguished Czech performers will answer.

SELÉNÉ / BECOMING A LUNAR FACE
28.09.2015 | LUNA
In September 28 I am going to link my face with the face of the Moon telepathically. The intervention will be held 1 hour around the maximum of the Full Moon at 4:50 AM CEST (2:50 UT), ie 4:20 to 5:20 AM CEST (2:20 to 3:20 UT).
Part of the exhibition TIME 20 BK.
In Greek mythology, Selene (Greek Σελήνη) is the goddess of the moon. She is the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, and sister of the sun-god Helios, and Eos, goddess of the dawn. She drives her moon chariot across the heavens. Several lovers are attributed to her in various myths, including Zeus, Pan, and the mortal Endymion. In classical times, Selene was often identified with Artemis, much as her brother, Helios, was identified with Apollo. Both Selene and Artemis were also associated with Hecate, and all three were regarded as lunar goddesses, although only Selene was regarded as the personification of the moon itself. Her Roman equivalent is Luna.
The etymology of Selene is uncertain, but if the name is of Greek origin, it is likely connected to the word selas (σέλας), meaning "light".
Just as Helios, from his identification with Apollo, is called Phoebus ("bright"), Selene, from her identification with Artemis, is also commonly referred to by the epithet Phoebe (feminine form). The original Phoebe of Greek mythology is Selene's aunt, the Titaness mother of Leto and Asteria, and grandmother of Apollo, Artemis, and Hecate. Also from Artemis, Selene was sometimes called "Cynthia".
Selene was also called Mene. The word men (feminine mene), meant the moon, and the lunar month. It was also the name of the Phrygian moon-god Men.

PQ+ accompanying project of the Prague Quadrennial
The aim of the accompanying project of the 12th Prague Quadrennial, simply called PQ+, is to further develop PQ 2011’s interdisciplinary dialogue between various dramatic genres and an expanding definition of visual art.
HANDA GOTE // URBAN CAMPING
the Piazzetta of the National Theatre
A non-violent intervention in what remains of a public space
A 24-hour camping experience on the National Theatre’s piazzetta
The Handa Gote performance ensemble will spend 24 hours camping on the National Theatre’s piazzetta in homemade ceremonial masks and clothing. Relaxation, conversation, and games; a further unspecified ceremony; the erection of a portable temple for further unspecified godheads; cooking food and whiling the time away by playing on homemade instruments, through song and dance, the creation of arrowheads and other practical tools using available materials (glass from bottles, replacing the more difficult-to-find obsidian or flintstone), and a two- to three-hour ritual invocation of money.
The camp’s participation will in no way accost passers-by or onlookers. Their form of communication with be the radical absence of any outwards signs of belonging to majority society. These nomadic artistic homeless won’t have anything to be afraid of, either. They, too, know that it is normal to adapt. Inadaptability goes against the natural order and against culture itself.
Any gathering of people is legitimate, even if it has no aim of achieving a specific goal.

The artistic group Handa Gote research and development is a conceptual post-dramatic theatre ensemble working with audio installations, movement and dance theatre, live music, visual theatre, and technology. Its performances are characterized by a hidden poetics and a unique aesthetics, influenced by minimalism, eastern philosophy, the Do-It-Yourself movement, and the combination of old and new on both the technological as well as mental level. Handa Gote mixes Czech do-it-yourselfism, the reuse of objects and technologies, and inspiration from Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetics.
Four Days in the frame of Intersection – Prague Quadriennale of performance design and space 2011
OUT OF THE BOX - PROJECTS DESIGNED FOR THE PUBLIC SPACE
The art projects from the areas of theatre, dance, and the visual arts presented in this section work intensively with place, responding to the architecture, scenography, and design of public space. The selected artists address the subject of architecture and urbanism in a city where one can be an active participant, spatial catalyst, and true spectator of a new image of scenography. The selected projects present various different artistic approaches and ways of working with public space – site-specific projects, interventions, improvisation, performance art, or installations. The project’s main dramaturgical theme is playfulness, the tracing and exploration of the city’s iconography, and a shared interest in communicating about public space primarily with the city’s inhabitants.

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.
