Host: Prof. Mgr. art. Dušan Zahoranský – Intermedia II – AVU
From the very first days in the city, I have been introduced by Dušan Zahoransky to Prague’s urban tissue, cultural landscape and art scene; we dedicated several meetings to sharing ideas and objectives in relation to the outcome of my secondment, to the WP2 and 4 and to the program of Intermedia II. I regularly visited major art institutions, galleries, project and independent spaces, experimental hubs, artists studios and the graduation shows at AVU, Famu and Umprum. Although initially my focus was on mapping and understanding how the cultural offer – specifically how projects, performances, talks, round tables, panels, institutional shows and diploma exhibitions – was communicated , I further extended my research to the ways in which artists and art students were communicating their process, research and final work. The outcome has been a day in which I held a workshop in the form of a conversation, an active dialogue, with the students focused on two main topics of discussion and exchange: the artist studio as an archive and how to communicate it and the empathetic forms of communication of the artistic process.
In addition, previously, I had the chance to review various portfolios in October 2024 and to support as a guest critic reviewing the work of many graduates on the occasion of the diploma show at AVU in June 2024.
