ZATVÁŘÍ / COUNTENANCE
With his multilayered work, conceptual artist Miloš Šejn (1947) enters the world of phenomena in order to communicate the core and contours of human presence in a new and distinctive way.
These are not only phenomena associated with the complex perception of place and time on their most general and essential levels. Often, it is also an exploration of incidental relationships that are hidden, obscured, or layered over time, relating to human memory, personal history, factual events, and mémoire involontaire. A particular phenomenon of this kind is the family memory of the sculptor Hana Wichterlová (1903–1990), who maintained a studio in Újezd, not far from Josef Sudek's studio, and whom Miloš Šejn knew personally as a child.
The exhibition layout for the Josef Sudek Studio creates an intersection of place, time, memory, and
media traces (photographs, videos, drawings). Sudek's photograph of Wichterlová's sculpture, entitled Black Head, plays a significant role here. Her closed eyes serve as the trigger for events, with inner vision as their main referent — the vision that connects the hiddenness of thought with the face of what is seen. Whether it be a human face, a face encountered as a metaphor for a place, a window, or a view. This theme is also reflected in the title of the exhibition, COUNTENANCE / ZATVÁŘÍ. The Czech neologism precisely captures the territory where any fleeting experience transforms into a timeless, lasting essence — an essence that does not disappear by being forgotten but, once formulated, continues to exist forever within a different order of validity.

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.

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.

ART SPACE ECOLOGY
15.10.2018 | BLACK ROSE BOOKS, Montreal, Canada
Art Space Ecology: Two Views--Twenty Interviews embraces the international context of today’s art making and, through the medium of interviews, encourages readers to engage directly with nature-focused creators and their artistic processes. The twenty artists, though diverse in backgrounds and methods, all produce works that are either embedded in the environment or that document our ever-changing landscapes. In these interviews, Grande explores the motivations that inspire artists to use the natural world as their canvas and how their works explore the intersections of art, space, and the environment, raising questions about our relationship with the landscapes themselves. An engaging introduction by Edward Lucie-Smith, English writer, poet, art critic, curator and broadcaster, sets the stage for these artists to share about the artistic processes of their works.

"Grande offers an eclectic global perspective in the book, whether it's Jason deCaires Taylor's underwater sculptures in the Canary Islands or Milos Sejn's Solar Mountain, a site for contemplation and renewal in the Czech Republic. . . . Timely, and the conversations engaging."
– Galleries West
"No significant movement in art remains independent of social and historical forces. Nor can it remain independent of surrounding related artistic impulses, which may not be pursuing the same ends. These are things that emerge clearly from John K. Grande’s fascinating series of interviews with artists working in this field. Ecological art and Land Art have a much longer history than most experts on contemporary culture are willing to suppose.... Other parallels can be found in the historical record of non-European cultures, especially in China and Japan, where landscape occupies the central position in art that Europe, since the Greeks, has accorded to the human figure."
– Art & Museum
"Whatever the medium under consideration, whether sculpture, organic interventions, performance art, body art, or technically complex installations, the discussions he choreographs in his new books explore and reveal the often mysterious motivations behind the maker’s making and unearths their intentions in a gentle yet dramatic manner. This book demonstrates clearly that in the end, or even more so, in the beginning, the natural world is our original and implicit canvas.
By examining the powerful intersections between art, technology and biology itself, he manages to reveal the deep questions that drive each artist forward. Perhaps the biggest question, and the most commonly recurring one: what is the most appropriate relationship we have or should have to the landscape? Not as something we live on, but as a place we should live with."
– CRITICSATLARGE.CA
This book is a field guide for artists working with nature, or addressing issues of the natural world in performance, video, painting, sculpture, installation or body art. The natural world becomes a canvas for exploring the intersections of art, space, and the environment. Questions about our relationship with land are raised by the dynamic interactivity and dialogues between John K. Grande and the artists: object and environment, artist and audience, society and nature.
– Arte.Es Magazine, Spain
"John Grande's international renown as a critic, curator and cultural commentator is hard earned and well deserved. His own observations, as well as the important artists he shares with us in this collection of twenty inter-views, is all about our active engagement in the natural environment. The delicate balance and proportional harmony so clearly in evidence in his questions and the artist's answers often feels like a carefully crafted dance between the heart and the head."

Art Space Ecology: Two Views--Twenty Interviews embraces the international context of today’s art making and, through the medium of interviews, encourages readers to engage directly with nature-focused creators and their artistic processes. The twenty artists, though diverse in backgrounds and methods, all produce works that are either embedded in the environment or that document our ever-changing landscapes. In these interviews, Grande explores the motivations that inspire artists to use the natural world as their canvas and how their works explore the intersections of art, space, and the environment, raising questions about our relationship with the landscapes themselves. An engaging introduction by Edward Lucie-Smith, English writer, poet, art critic, curator and broadcaster, sets the stage for these artists to share about the artistic processes of their works.

"Grande offers an eclectic global perspective in the book, whether it's Jason deCaires Taylor's underwater sculptures in the Canary Islands or Milos Sejn's Solar Mountain, a site for contemplation and renewal in the Czech Republic. . . . Timely, and the conversations engaging."
– Galleries West
"No significant movement in art remains independent of social and historical forces. Nor can it remain independent of surrounding related artistic impulses, which may not be pursuing the same ends. These are things that emerge clearly from John K. Grande’s fascinating series of interviews with artists working in this field. Ecological art and Land Art have a much longer history than most experts on contemporary culture are willing to suppose.... Other parallels can be found in the historical record of non-European cultures, especially in China and Japan, where landscape occupies the central position in art that Europe, since the Greeks, has accorded to the human figure."
– Art & Museum
"Whatever the medium under consideration, whether sculpture, organic interventions, performance art, body art, or technically complex installations, the discussions he choreographs in his new books explore and reveal the often mysterious motivations behind the maker’s making and unearths their intentions in a gentle yet dramatic manner. This book demonstrates clearly that in the end, or even more so, in the beginning, the natural world is our original and implicit canvas.
By examining the powerful intersections between art, technology and biology itself, he manages to reveal the deep questions that drive each artist forward. Perhaps the biggest question, and the most commonly recurring one: what is the most appropriate relationship we have or should have to the landscape? Not as something we live on, but as a place we should live with."
– CRITICSATLARGE.CA
This book is a field guide for artists working with nature, or addressing issues of the natural world in performance, video, painting, sculpture, installation or body art. The natural world becomes a canvas for exploring the intersections of art, space, and the environment. Questions about our relationship with land are raised by the dynamic interactivity and dialogues between John K. Grande and the artists: object and environment, artist and audience, society and nature.

Miloš Šejn: A Nightingale with a Flat Flight, Path in Translation
I record a moment of the nightingale’s living space. I have entered his house, his home. Reflections of vegetation, overhanging willows, and viburnums on the surface of the water say something of our, yes, perhaps our dialogue. I don’t know what the avian beings truly see and feel, but I am enraptured by the visual impression of this moment. When I wake up early in the morning, I lie on my bed and the branches from the garden stretch in from the window, clouds, the first rays of sun, and birdsong, it’s a perfect situation. Half asleep, loved ones and acquaintances approach, my consciousness is just as much between corporeality as between a dream and the consciousness of the house. I don’t know how the singing birds perceive this moment, and I know even less how long it has been since people have tried to capture this musical stream of speech in their own language – probably since time immemorial. Various languages and dialects hear something different each time. What follows are examples of translations of nightingales from the history of ornithology. And do we hear today at least some of a fragment of the nightingale’s building of a house?

The work in this studio adheres to the principle that architecture is not about walls but about the space between them. In A1, we emphasize the method of thinking - from the initial analysis to a possible protest or opposition and the search for an adequate means of expression for the given function in the given context. With the right method, an architect can handle extensive comprehensive tasks across all genres and regardless of the format. The workshop develops talent and respect to technical disciplines as well as social sciences. Our aim is to educate fully integrated personalities. Talent, expert knowledge and willingness to learn after the studies should be the main characteristics of Architecture I graduates.

The upcoming interdisciplinary project Frontiers of Solitude focuses on contemporary transformations of the landscape and the close connections between our civilization and nature. These themes are elaborated in terms of the geography and morphology of the three specific areas of central and northern Europe. The project includes creative residencies and workshops in selected areas of the Czech Republic, Iceland and Norway. The aim of these residences and workshops is to explore long-term transformations of the land, as represented for example in the industrialized landscapes of northern Bohemia, changes in the ethnic profile of the population, and the loss of historical structures. The workshops around the town of Alta in northern Norway and the east coast of Iceland take place in areas where the effects and traces of industrialization have been felt, for the most part, only in recent decades.
The outcomes of the project, in which artists from the Czech Republic, Norway and Iceland will participate, will be presented at the beginning of 2016 at an exhibition at the Školská 28 Gallery in Prague. Documentation, new art works, interpretations and the results of workshops will be presented. An exhibition catalog will include documentary videos and sound recordings, texts on contemporary art, ecology and the environmental sciences.
The project is a joint initiative of the association Deai/setkání, the Atelier Nord and the Skaftfell Center for Visual Arts in Iceland, and the project is supported by a grant from the EEG.

Atelier Nord focuses on new media art, especially high-technology art, characterized by an experimental attitude in the means of production, distribution and presentation. Atelier Nord creates the conditions for producing and distributing new media art, and its dissemination, and operates something like Školská 28 and NoD, but within an international context.

The Skaftfell Center for Visual Art is founded alongside an international residency program for the creation of exhibitions, cultural and educational events, such as mapping local activities and initiatives in the field of contemporary art in relation to environmental activities. The Skaftfell Center is located in a natural and cultural environment, in which contemporary art is closely linked with the questions of threats to the environments, and to traditional values and ways of life. Creative residencies for visitors from abroad on the east coast of Iceland will be an opportunity for a deeper understanding of this specific cultural and social situation in which people in Iceland find themselves.

Traces / Traces / Traces
11.12.2014 | Galerie Rudolfinum, Prague, Czech Republic
Přednáška a prezentace v rámci výstavy Ana Mendieta - Traces/Stopy
Prezentace autora, sebeinterpretující zejména kořeny práce s tělovostí v průběhu šedesátých a sedmdesátých let dvacátého století a klíčové inspirace, související také s velmi osobitým nazíráním detailů filmové poetiky v tvorbě Ingmara Bergmana, Františka Vláčila, Akira Kurosawy a dalších. Odtud možná vychází jeden z podstatných impulzů pro zauzlení místa, času a performujících bytostí takovým způsobem, aby je bylo možné pojmenovat termínem pomíjivá tělová plastika, přestože dokumentační média obrazového či zvukového záznamu takového okamžiku hrají další trasformující roli. A nebo je to také vše úplně jinak.

05.12.2012 | VITRÍNA DENISKA, Pastische Filmz, AAP AVU, Filmový sál Uměleckého centra Konvikt, Olomouc
VITRÍNA DENISKA, Pastiche Filmz a VVP AVU zvou na přehlídku videoartu
KDO SE SMĚJE + bonus FILM VÍTA SOUKUPA SMRT V UHLÍ (1998)
přehlídka proběhne ve středu 5. 12. 2012 v 19.00
ve Filmovém sále Uměleckého centra Konvikt v Olomouci, Univerzitní 3
KDO SE SMĚJE. Umění o světě umění
Promítací večer představí videa „na druhou“ – díla, která míří dovnitř uměleckého světa nebo kličkují v terénu popsaném dějinami umění. Komentář důvěrně známého prostředí nebo dialog s „předky“ skrze citování či přímo apropriaci jejich děl někdy působí jako samomluva, jindy jako hloubková meditace. S tíhou kánonů se umělci vyrovnávají sarkastickými glosami, recepty na úspěch i znovuzažíváním přímé zkušenosti. Mytizují sami sebe anebo naopak ironizují mučivost vlastních ambicí. Není poznat, kdo se směje naposled a kdo se směje nejlíp.
Zastoupení umělci: Jesper Alvaer, Adéla Babanová, Ondřej Brody a Kristofer Paetau, Jan Brož, Vladimír Havlík, Anetta Mona Chişa a Lucia Tkáčová, Zuzana Krkošková, František Lozinski o. p. s., Ján Mančuška, Marek Meduna, Michal Pěchouček, Rafani, Miloš Šejn a Pavel Švec.
Uvedou kurátorky výběru Terezie Nekvindová a Sláva Sobotovičová
A jako bonus promítneme po přestávce Smrt v uhlí z připravovaného DVD filmů Víta Soukupa.
VÍT SOUKUP: SMRT V UHLÍ (1998)
Hra s klišé českých detektivních filmů i normalizačních seriálů. Na Ostravsku se stane vražda. Zkušený kapitán Turinský z Prahy (postava mezi radou Vašátkem, majorem Kalašem a inspektorem Trachtou) a jeho asistent Šlemra dlouho neúspěšně pátrají po viníkovi, až díky náhodnému svědkovi konečně zjistí pravdu. Průmyslově zdevastovaná krajina, ve které se příběh odehrává, má silný emotivní náboj. V její bezútěšnosti se brutalita postav zdá logická: „Prostředí prostě jedince poznamená.“
Hrají: Hana Puchová, Jiří Surůvka, Jan Materna, Pavel Noga, Vít Soukup, Adam Hlaváč ad.
Střih: Jan Svoboda jr., Jan Hoch / Kamera: Kateřina Bažantová, Václav Krejčí / Scénář a režie: Vít Soukup

TOWARDS THE IMAGE - Photography in Central Europe
23.10.2012 - 24.10.2012 | International Academic Conference / Kraków
International Academic Conference “TOWARDS THE IMAGE - Photography in Central Europe” 23-24 October 2012 Organizers: Faculty of Art of the Pedagogical University in Kraków in the name of the National Education Commission; the Institute of Printmaking and Graphic Design, the Multimedia Department and the “Kwadrat” science & artistic students association
Collaboration: The Walery Rzewuski Museum of the History of Photography in Kraków
Academic Committee of the Conference:
Professor Grażyna Brylewska, Department of Graphic and Visual Design, Faculty of Art of the PU
Professor Halina Cader-Pawłowska, the Multimedia Department, and the Faculty of Art of the PU
Professor Marcin Pawłowski, Department of Artistic Printmaking and Drawing, Faculty of Art of the PU
Rafał Solewski, Ph.D., Department of Art Education and Art Theory, Faculty of Art of the PU Beata Długosz, Ph.D., of the Multimedia Department, Faculty of Art of the PU
Marek Janczyk, M.A., Museum of the History of Photography in Kraków
The conference will be focused around the following subjects:
- the iconic turn in contemporary aesthetics and artistic practice
- photography as a communicative space
- photography in the realm of art
- art of moving image
- photography as a work in process
- contemporary language of photography
- gender and the aesthetics of photography/ image
- the concept of the experiment in contemporary photography
- the avant-garde tradition in Central European countries
- teaching photography at Central European learning institutions
The topic of the conference, contained within the expression "The Image’s Way", can be understood in many ways, literally and metaphorically. It can be understood as a reference to various methods of making photographic images, the language used by contemporary photography, and its relationship with other media. The effort may also be made to assess the photographic image as an aesthetic object, for example in the context of social art. A fundamental element of the conference will be the attempt to present a picture of the situation in which photography found itself after the iconic turn that took place in aesthetics and artistic practice at the turn of the twenty-first century.
All of the above subjects may be viewed in reference to central European art. The aim of the conference is the analysis of many aspects in which the photography of the region may be viewed. Is it a phenomena that is separate on a European scale, or a worldwide scale? Does the modernist tradition have meaning for today's artists in the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary? How and to what extent has the concept of the photographic experiment changed since the times of modernism? Are the ideas of the avant garde present in photography education programmes at Central European learning institutions?
The construct of "The Image’s Way” remains a delicate reference to the title of Marcel Proust’s novel “Swann’s Way” as a metaphor of the fluid boundary between the present and the past.
The academic meeting will take place on the 23rd and 24th of October 2012 from 9 AM to 3 PM at the Auditorium of Professor W. Danek at the Pedagogical University at Podchorążych 2 street in Kraków. The two-day meeting will be accompanied by exhibits and multimedia show in the galleries and around the city. After the conference an academic review publication will be put out.

Bohemian Paradise - Hruba Skala - Czech Republic
International Interdisciplinary Open-Air Workshop for dancers and artists exploring the relation among body, art and landscape led by Frank van de Ven, Milos Sejn and guest teacher
Václav Cílek
Supported by Bohemiae Rosa Foundation - Ministery of Culture in Czech Republic - European geopark UNESCO Bohemian Paradise - Bohemian Paradise National Reserve
Since 1995 Milos Sejn and Frank van de Ven have co-operated in their bi-annual interdisciplinary open air Body-Site-Exploration projects in various National Reserves in the Czech Republic (Kokorin Valley, Plasy Monastery, Bohemian Karst, Bechyne Monastery with the Luznice River, Bohemian Paradise, Sumava Mountains and Krkonose Mountains) known as the Bohemiae Rosa Project.
This 8th edition of the Bohemiae Rosa Project, which will take place in an area known from the end of 19th century as „Bohemian Paradise“, will evolve in the famous historical landscape with figurative rocks, caves, valleys, brooks, forests, groves and meadows. Walking and working in the Bohemian Paradise, we investigate the historical relation of Body and Landscape and its signification and relation to contemporary Performing Arts.
The program will include:
• MB -(mind/body, muscles/bones) dance training
• practice of and reflection on physical and mental training
• walking and wandering, silent walk, pilgrimage and nocturnal journeys
• various modes of experiencing body, movement and landscape
• investigating divergent senses of space and time
• peripatetic records, drawing, writing, immediate contact with surroundings
• mental topography of a location, myth, archaic mind and genius loci
• geology, archaeology and history of the Bohemian Paradise as a model of self: layers, vertical connections and labyrinths
An integral part of the workshop will be the individual artistic projects that participants are encouraged to formulate and work on for about 1 to 2 hours a day. (in the fields architecture, landscape art, dance, performance, photography, sculpture, theatre, visual arts, biology and natural history). The workshop leaders are available to guide and support these processes.
The body is a landscape in itself moving within the larger frame of the given surrounding environment. The vertical and horizontal layering of the (historical) landscape invites us to reflect upon our own layers and connections of self and imagination.
Participants profile: for artists and advanced students working in the fields of performance, dance, landscape art, sculpture, photography, architecture, theatre, visual arts, biology and natural history

On a different soil. Growth in art, society and culture
10.11. - 11.11.2011 | New Stage of National Theatre, Prague
An international conference, organized within the framework of the project TIK – Time Inventors’ Kabinet, and as an accompanying program of Science and Technology Week 2011
Thursday November 10
Utopia of the garden. Urban and rural gardens and today’s green utopias
Could one say that art degenerates as it approaches gardening? (Robert Smithson – A Sedimentation of the Mind: Earth Projects, 1968)
The aim of the conference is to look at the changing approaches to the soil, and the subjects of growth and growing in society, culture and art, in urban and rural contexts. At the same time, we try to challenge the simplyfiying concepts of nature and natural, as presented in the arts. It is often in the arts though, where the various influential phantasies concerning nature emerge.
We want to confront artistic approaches with views by ecologists, biologists, eco-activists, economists, non profit organizations and foundations, about subjects like: (city) gardening and agriculture, transformation of city flora and fauna, relationship between urban and rural, philosophies of the garden, sustainability of cities and villages, long-term growth in economics (participatory economics, economical de-growth, natural capitalism etc.).
Artists often comment on the dissolving of the natural, cultural, and technological. Artistic approaches are often used as a political tool in the praxis of transforming the environment. Can aesthetics play a key role in the process. How and for what purposes are the newly emerging green spaces used by artists? To what extend are visions of the cities-as-gardens and its inhabitants in the roles of gardeners, just another utopian phantasy? How do the actual city forms of gardening look like: green spaces with open access (open greens), guerilla gardening, rooftop or vertical gardens, (so called) beautifying alliances. How are the permacultural processes reflected in the city planning? What are the most inspiring models of ecological towns and villages?
Friday November 11
In the wind. Art of the ecological time
Discussions about ecological time, slow food, growth and de-growth. Presentation of art projects – artists as gardeners, beekeepers, fruiters, farmers, growers, mushroom pickers, cooks, herbalists, barometers and indicators of pollution…

Bohemian Paradise - Hruba Skala - Czech Republic
International Interdisciplinary Open-Air Workshop for dancers and artists exploring the relation among body, art and landscape led by Frank van de Ven, Milos Sejn and guest teacher
Václav Cílek
Supported by Bohemiae Rosa Foundation - Ministery of Culture in Czech Republic - European geopark UNESCO Bohemian Paradise - Bohemian Paradise National Reserve
Since 1995 Milos Sejn and Frank van de Ven have co-operated in their bi-annual interdisciplinary open air Body-Site-Exploration projects in various National Reserves in the Czech Republic (Kokorin Valley, Plasy Monastery, Bohemian Karst, Bechyne Monastery with the Luznice River, Bohemian Paradise, Sumava Mountains and Krkonose Mountains) known as the Bohemiae Rosa Project.
This 8th edition of the Bohemiae Rosa Project, which will take place in an area known from the end of 19th century as „Bohemian Paradise“, will evolve in the famous historical landscape with figurative rocks, caves, valleys, brooks, forests, groves and meadows. Walking and working in the Bohemian Paradise, we investigate the historical relation of Body and Landscape and its signification and relation to contemporary Performing Arts.
The program will include:
• MB -(mind/body, muscles/bones) dance training
• practice of and reflection on physical and mental training
• walking and wandering, silent walk, pilgrimage and nocturnal journeys
• various modes of experiencing body, movement and landscape
• investigating divergent senses of space and time
• peripatetic records, drawing, writing, immediate contact with surroundings
• mental topography of a location, myth, archaic mind and genius loci
• geology, archaeology and history of the Bohemian Paradise as a model of self: layers, vertical connections and labyrinths
An integral part of the workshop will be the individual artistic projects that participants are encouraged to formulate and work on for about 1 to 2 hours a day. (in the fields architecture, landscape art, dance, performance, photography, sculpture, theatre, visual arts, biology and natural history). The workshop leaders are available to guide and support these processes.
The body is a landscape in itself moving within the larger frame of the given surrounding environment. The vertical and horizontal layering of the (historical) landscape invites us to reflect upon our own layers and connections of self and imagination.
Participants profile: for artists and advanced students working in the fields of performance, dance, landscape art, sculpture, photography, architecture, theatre, visual arts, biology and natural history

CHAPEL 2011
20.08.2011 - 22.08.2011 | Kaple Sv. Ducha / Liběchov
Oživení místa setkáním s názvem Kaple 2011 proběhne ve dvou fázích.
Nejprve dojde k vymalování a vyklizení prostor lodě kostela, kdy se za pomoci místních dobrovolníků kostel dostane do pozice ,,prázdné nerozbité nádoby“.
V druhé fázi dojde k naplnění sakrálního prostoru - nádoby tvůrčím duchem, za pomoci třídenního intenzivního setkání mladých architektů, výtvarných umělců a zvláště hudebníků.
Aktivace prostoru proběhne formou třídenní nepřetržité audio-vizuální performance, která bude vycházet z historických reálií na skalním ostrohu, stejně jako z topografie okolní krajiny.

Navzajem - rekonstrukce cesty. Filip Cenek, Barbora Klimova, Vladimir Havlik a Eda Cupak se vloni v lete pokusili o reprizu cesty do Madarska a Bulharska, kterou puvodne uskutecnil Vladimir Havlik a Eda Cupak v roce 1981. Archivni cernobily 8mm film, zaznamenavajici tehdejsi cestu je zde tematizovan v casovem posunu z perspektivy srovnani dvou generacnich prozitku a prizmatem ruznych zaznamovych medii.

Záměrem tohoto site specific projektu je formou pobytové dílny vytvořit a veřejně prezentovat divadelní performance, jejíž vznik bude podmíněn studiem této konkrétní lokality.
Z velké části dochovaný, čitelný koncept barokní krajiny v Jičíně a jeho okolí, není pouze tématem pro studium historie, ale nabízí velmi konkrétní fyzický materiál k reflexi jednoho z možných přístupů člověka k prostředí. Přístupu či možná přesněji vztahu, který se nám po chvilce zdá být velmi povědomý, známý, současný.
Komplexní příprava site specific projektu se závěrečnou veřejnou prezentací poskytne všem účastníkům-studentům podmínky pro přímou zkušenost s tímto způsobem práce, který není vázán pouze na autentické místo, ale také na podporu a zájem místní kulturní veřejnosti.
Proces příprav k vytvoření této konkrétní divadelní akce bude motivován náměty a otázkami, které barokní krajinný koncept na Jičínsku nabízí:
Čtení krajiny - Čtení města - Sebevědomí, představy, krajina jako virtuální prostor k jejich realizaci ? - Geometrizace krajiny a její původní morfologie? - Záměry zásahu do krajinné struktury? - Praktické funkce takového zásahu - Proč udržovat krajinu jako dekoraci ? - Manipulace prostorem ? manipulace lidmi - Kdy experiment, urbanistická laboratoř, hledání fyzického vztahu k prostoru přerůstá v duchovní násilí ?
Spirituální zahrady Jičínska
Meditace nad fragmenty barokní krajinné kompozice.
Město Jičín a jeho okolí :
Lipová alej ze středu Jičína do Valdic
Čestný dvůr
Libosad s lodžií
Jezuitská kolej v Jičíně
kopec Zebín
kopec Veliš
krajinné osy barokního konceptu
Program:
Pondělí: Robert Smolík seznámení s místem, navštěva muzeum, synagoga, kolej, město, pak večer Jaromír Gotlieb lodžii.
další dny dle času :
Miloš Šejn: Zebín, Libosad
Michal Pospíšil, Mariánská zahrada, pouť po kaplích. Zpívání.
