short audioplay at parter

I was happy to be part of site specific exhibition Parter in Ústí nad labem. I contributred with short audioplay/walk which is based on a history of Ústí and space around the gallery.

The basic idea of the exhibition is to increase awareness of the scope and meaning of specific public space — parter, elevated area of Masarykova Street in relation to art, architecture and landscape architecture. We are trying to start interdisciplinary dialogue between experts, artists, local politicians and especially the inhabitants of parter, whose future we want to discuss. The stimulus for creating a curatorial project working with public space was direct confrontation with life and events in the new temporary location of Ústí nad Labem House of Arts. Some proposals remain only as ideas and wait for a suitable opportunity and time for implementation in the future, because the attractiveness and quality of this environment is directly dependent on understanding and connecting its past, present and future. The urban space itself is an active form, not just incoherent set under responsibility of various entities and perhaps attempts to negotiate may succeed with a proper story.
