Where I Feel You – Talk: “Trends in Contemporary Art”

The project “Where I Feel You” explores questions of space, perception and memory. It challenges the idea of a place as a fixed point, presenting it instead as a shifting field shaped by our experiences and emotions.

What role does art play in today’s overloaded world, and how relevant is it really? Leading Czech audiovisual artist and educator Martin Blažíček will reflect on the purpose and place of contemporary artistic practice in a wider social context.

Martin Blažíček (born 1976) is a leading Czech audiovisual artist and educator. His work focuses on experimental film and live moving-image performance, which he presents in galleries and at festivals, from Prague’s Rudolfinum to Rotterdam. Alongside his artistic and performance work, he is also a curator and theorist, helping shape the contemporary Czech experimental scene.

The exhibition and its accompanying programme were conceived by the curatorial trio UM Kolektiv: Viktória Maďarová, Jakeš Bugri and Kryštof Susa. They aim to create situations in which visitors’ inner experiences meet their surroundings through installations, sound, video art and virtual reality.

Talks: Martin Blažíček on the relevance of contemporary art (7 April), and a discussion about performance art with Viktória Maďarová and Šimon Talajka (13 April).

The exhibition was created in collaboration with the Faculty of Art and Architecture at the Technical University of Liberec to support an emerging generation of artists. The works on display were created within the university’s Department of Art under the guidance of its lecturers (D. Hanzlík, A. Hnízdil, J. Prokeš, J. Stolín and P. Vlachynská).

The exhibition is open to the public Monday to Friday, 13:00–19:00, and Saturday, 10:00–16:00.
