Exhibition at House of Arts, \u00dasti nad Labem"},"content":{"rendered":"

On December 7, the opening of the exhibition \u201cGardening of Soul: Introduction\u201d took place at House of Arts, \u00dasti nad Labem, Czech Republic. The exhibition is the first outcome of the international collaboration Gardening of Soul: In Five Chapters, in which Skaftfell participates alongside eight other institutions from Austria, Croatia, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, South Africa, Ukraine and USA. The project is led by the House of Arts in \u00dasti nad Labem.<\/p>\n

Skaftfell co-curated two installations for this exhibition, one presenting Tv\u00eds\u00f6ngur (Lukas Kuhne, 2012), and one presenting Hafnargar\u00f0ur Community Garden (2012-ongoing). Both artworks are located in Sey\u00f0isfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsing documentary formats or reinstallations, the exhibition presents artworks that were primarily conceived for public space and actively responded to the social situation influencing, determining or developing the character of a particular site and the quality of its use by the community. These art projects are intrinsically inspired by the desire to build imaginary gardens understood as places of shared responsibility and determination, to transform the neglected and decaying into thriving and sustainable ones.\u201c<\/em> (excerpt from the press release)<\/p>\n
