The opening will take place 22 June at 5 p. m.

This international exhibition project is conceived as an encounter of contemporary Czech, Polish and Slovak art. It aims to present today’s visual language in the Central European context, with an accent on 3D pieces (objects, installations, ready-made, object-images, de-installations and similar). The exhibition focuses on the contemporary transformation of society and the economy in former industrial and post-in¬dustrial environments. Besides its political and social aspects, it also presents works created using hybrid, atypical and non-luxury materials – rusting sheet metal, scaffolding, plaster, spray foam, polyurethane, particleboard, polystyrene, waste materials, etc. It represents an intersection between low and high culture along with hybrid sculptural techniques, an absurd meeting of items and materials in a complete en¬tity that offers diverse cultural contexts and diverse possibilities for reading – and perceiving – our contemporary world.
