BLUDNÝ KÁMEN Exhibition: LITTLE HOME

• opening 15. 10. at 5 pm.
• Dům umění

The title of the exhibition suggests some things, but conceals even more. Despite taking place in the thirty-first and thirty-second year of the Bludný kámen association's existence, it is not a look back, a celebration, or a sentimental memory. Although it sometimes glances into the past, celebrates a little, and sometimes remembers. Above all, however, it is a changeable, surprising, and contemporary exhibition. It subtly challenges established rules and ingrained ideas about what an exhibition should look like and how it should proceed. Visitors will find themselves at the center of reflections on exhibiting, at a performance show, in an archive, or in the tea room that was the starting point of the Bludný kámen association for several years. They observe how drawings, paintings, objects, installations, and videos follow each other in a chain of individual curatorial decisions, listen to sounds, observe unforeseen movement, and newly experience public space. The exhibition takes place throughout Dům umění, in the Church of St. Wenceslas, in the Cella Gallery, and in the adjacent streets of Opava. In addition to more than forty contemporary Czech and foreign visual artists, performers, and creators working with sound and video, over thirty associated curators are also actively involved in the exhibition. They enter the exhibition not only through the selection of works but also co-create the program of concerts, performances, literary readings, and other events that will take place during its run.
