Artur Magrot: The Key’s in the Mailbox
In the last year, Artur Magrot has consciously chosen a life of long-term homelessness in hopes of finding alternatives for movement in a system of which we are unwillingly a part.

TO&JEN- premiere
There's a fly crawling on the window, the fat one they call the butcher. It's been crossing the window pane for ages. People usually loathe it, but it's actually beautiful, metallic green and blue, with translucent wings woven with silver threads. It's been crawling on the glass for a long time, and it doesn't know how to get out. Outside, the sun is shining, the colours are brilliant and the wind is blowing. She could fly all she wants. It's just the window that keeps her here! There must be a crack somewhere to get out of this dull, grey room. Out of the loneliness. And finally! There she is! She's found it. It was high time. The sun was just setting, the sky had turned a beautiful color, she'd enjoy the colors a little more! –>

DRUNKEN FOREST
In geology, the term drunken forest refers to vegetation growth growing on a slowly slumping hillside. The tree trunks grow in all sorts of crooked ways and the forest looks disorganized. For geologists, this signals that the bedrock is moving. In the exhibition's title, where students from the studios of the FAMU Department of Photography in Prague will meet, the drunken forest refers to the instability of the conditions in which these young people grow up and to artistic creation as repeated attempts to maintain balance. Through their works, however, the exhibition also points out how the tool we generically call photography and its department; reacts to these movements. –>

COMMUNITY AT THE MOMENT OF DISINTEGRATION

The Metabolic Perspective
Economics is merely a continuation of nature by other means – terms like ’logistics’ or ’infrastructure’ can be applied equally well to the production and transportation of goods as to photosynthesis and food chains. But what if we were to begin considering human culture and communication as part of the planet’s natural metabolisms?–>

Hands and other limbs are considered part of the body. Why then couldn’t all beings who possess a body be considered as part of a single being? There is no such thing as a disabled body, but only disabled socioeconomic systems.–>

In light of this it is possible to again pose the question as to the nature of social documentary photography. –>

Simple Present Tense
Seven students exhibiting their diploma projects derive their initial experience from photography. Each one's practice has evolved over time and each one has arrived at utilizing a different medium and an original language of their own. No common theme is treated in the Simple Present Tense exhibition, it is rather shared physical and psychological conditions in which all the works were conceived. A situation of informational overload, insecurity, and extreme change in how we perceive physical reality produced strategies of radical honesty, flexibility, and the necessity for new precision. –>
29. 8. – 6. 9. 2020
Step Aside
The exhibition’s title Step Aside serves the exhibited artists as a metaphor, one which shows the desire to view the development of our civilization from new angles. This can mean conscious deceleration, comprehending the repercussions of our actions, attempting a sustainable future and the role of the artist within it, or drawing attention to marginalized social groups or phenomena.–>
8. 7. – 23. 8. 2020
Effort
The second part of the project dedicated to physical movement, dance and choreography in contemporary art interrogates physical exertion and the act of labor. The will and energy to move is not only connected with a number of functional mechanisms and the fulfillment of an ideal effectiveness in the field of the human body, but is also a landscape which is integrally political, a place of control and resistance, physical effects and their symbolic manifestations. The exhibiting artists meet in a network of structures suspended between these two polarities.–>
5. 3. – 28. 6. 2020
Choreography of Thought
Can be physical movement a metaphor of our thought? Can it be understood as a possibility to relate to thinking processes different from their mere verbalisation? This project is built around these questions. The exhibition is accompanying series of lectures, screenings and discussions.–>
