After two years of pandemic restrictions on cultural gatherings, how can we reconnect through culture in ways that are resilient, versatile and able to withstand the strain that is put on our connections to each other by forces outside our control? As we are pushed to be ever more creative and flexible to navigate the challenges of the contemporary social and material world, what links are worth keeping and which would we rather cut?
As part of our installation Sustainable Connections for the exhibition Blast Cries Laughter at Pragovka gallery, we would like to invite guests to contribute works, performances or interventions as part of an evolving, collective installation piece, and help us to build a place to meet and explore old and new ways to retouch, reconnect and even retreat when necessary. To find out more about our project, everybody is welcome to visit us at Korzo Pragovka (6.2.2022), where the project will be presented.
It does not have to be a detailed proposition, we are looking for ideas, scatches, collaboration and dialogue. There is financial and material support for the best chosen projects.

2. place 3000 kč
3. place 1500 kč
For the other selected projects we will assume a sustainable approach in partnership with Art re use.
Opportunity to be included in accompanying programmes, opportunity to work on site ( gallery residency), and to place work in the space defined by the Sustainable Connections project.
The Sustainable Connections project is part of a larger section of projects called (In) Sustainable Connections, which is part of the exhibition Díra ve stázi, consisting of several curatorial sections.
The project Sustainable Connections is part of a larger section of projects under the title (Un)Sustainable Connections, which falls under the exhibition Hole in Stasis, consisting of several curatorial sections.
The aforementioned project by the artist duo Susanne Kass and Tomáš Roček is based on a gradually emerging installation that connects the past and the present through collaboration, determining the direction the work will take and how it will modify the space in which it is created.
The installation will be worked on primarily by its authors, but they will adapt their work during the project period (6 February - 17 March) to come into contact with gallery visitors and invited artists, who can participate in the work and use prepared materials or even what they bring themselves.
This live, processual installation will be conceived as a small room/studio inside the large room of Pragovka Gallery Rear. The participatory installation in this defined space will give space for five weeks to meet, workshop and build on the work of individual artists. On 17.3.2022 the work on the project will conclude and the results will be evaluated at Korz Pragovka II.
Deadline: 10. February 2022
