curator Miloš Vojtěchovský

The installation in Igloo gallery follows the piece The Radčice Transformers, which was exhibited in 2022 in Prague. This time it is a set of sound recordings from Jihlava and it presents a wide spectrum of vibrations of the Vysočina transformers (however, all belong to the dominion of ČEZ company and are interconnected to the pan-european electricity distribution system). One channel of each set complements the sonic ambient from particular location of individual transformers so one can hear as well cars, birds or wind.

Dark Night of the Soul

The exhibition Dark Night of the Soul presents the work of a group of visual artists, whose work is characterized by increased sensitivity to the current social situation. The exhibit tries to capture the ubiquitous feelings of anxiety, insecurity, and disorientation caused by frustration stemming from the inability to influence the reality of a collapsing world. Feelings that lead us to a state of helplessness and stagnation, which is, however, an integral part of a process that we are not yet able to see from a longer-term perspective. The name of the exhibition also refers to this state. It returns to the phrase that appeared in the sixteenth century in the literary work of the Spanish saint John of the Cross.
