The Gallery of Fine Arts in Ostrava is opening up a space that used to be a lecture hall as a new venue for short-term independent interventions and projects by young and middle-generation artists. The aim is to create a kind of lab for experimenting, playing and creativity – all of which are natural attributes of Ostrava’s young artists. The concept will further enhance the gallery’s long-standing collaboration with the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music at the University of Ostrava, offering students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience of the art scene. We are confident that the broad platform offered by the faculty (encompassing not only fine art, but also production and performing arts) will help to create a multidisciplinary, open community environment. The first exhibition will present the work of the painter Tereza Samková.

Curator: Jaroslav Michna
