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.

The Pilsen native - painter and graphic artist Šárka Trčková (1965-2015) will always be one of the visual artists whose lives came to an end too soon, but her work still bears all the hallmarks of a complete and focused statement. 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.

The exhibition will present the extensive and very diverse work of one of the most distinctive Czech artists of today. Pavel Čech (born on November 5, 1968 in Brno) is primarily a popular author of books for children and adults, which he not only illustrates but also writes. His books, full of fantasy, adventure, mysterious alleys, deserted lands and overgrown gardens, have won numerous awards and been published abroad. In his freelance work, he mainly deals with oil paintings, creates three-dimensional objects, and also creates comics, book covers, posters, as well as advertising graphics.

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.

Flying, flight, aeronautics, sky and space conquering have a rich history, but also countless pictorial forms and meanings. The exhibition will show the projection of the phenomenon of aviation into Czech visual culture between 1783 (the first takeoff of the balloon) and 1957 (the launch of the first spacecraft). The exhibition does not map the history of flying, it focuses on the essential symbols and themes in modern painting - from paintings and sculptures to book illustrations, posters or film and their social meanings.

Štefan Uhrecký is a painter with the rightly tempted (un)confidence in the viability of the painting as a reflection of freely experienced reality. Free gesture, the throwing of the current sharpened form no matter what it may bring, has always been characteristic for Štefan, but in addition to the essential intuitive component, he has a constant self-reflection, a subversive irony; in the paintings he blends the so-called high with the low, they are constructed by their own breaking, the serious is downplayed and vice versa, but not as a whim or a search for artistic tendencies, but a real struggle for oneself
