In her own words, Lenka Černota continuously explores humanity through experimentation with "wolfness". From paintings she painted for wolves with the belief that they would see and react to them, through her presence in their environment and painting in-situ, she has come to the current stage where she thinks and tries to paint an image as if she had a visual apparatus of wolf. The results of her painting experiments over the past few years are summarized in Lenka Černota's largest exhibition, significantly titled Wolfness. In addition to her own combined technique, based on hand painting, accompanied by drawings and note inscriptions, she will also present video sequences composed of camera trap images, documenting the fate of her "wolf" paintings left in the solitude of the forest.

Petr Válek's moving sculptures, appearing in short documentary videos, have had a strong response in the Czech and international public in recent years. For the IGLOO gallery, Válek created and selected several new videos with kinetic-sound self-movements and recordings of his occasional Dadaist expeditions into the mountain landscape. The installation Silent paths is complemented by a light object.

The sound essay, supplemented by several objects, captures the flow of memories evoked by listening to the voices of common swifts. The composition is assembled from field recordings, spoken word and fragments of songs. Memories of straw bales, bird voices, plant flowers, the darkness of coal mine shafts, or the metaphor of thoughts like pine seeds that grow into tall trees come back here. The English version of the composition was released on cassette by Breton Cassette in early 2022 and can be heard on a cassette player with headphones at the exhibition.

Together with Vladimír Kokolia, with whom she has long participated in the management of the Grafika II studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, they formed a balanced and complementary team.

Walking as a manifestation of terrestriality brings a person back to Earth and allows us to experience adventure with all our senses. The human ability of walking reveals psychogeography as a mental relation to landscape. But  because we constantly have to decide which direction to go, it is also about contingency.
