Lost Europe

Mar 10 — Jun 20, 2022

Lost Europe, the largest publication yet published by 400 ASA, contains almost 150 black and white documentary photographs by three authors from Ukraine from the early 1990s to the present day. Photographers capture a country with a dramatic history as a place reminiscent of the poetics of a life that is irretrievably disappearing. As a reminder of the commonplace of the old days before globalisation. The exhibition featured selections from this publication. Proceeds from the sale of the photographic publication Lost Europe by Karl Cudlin, Martin Wagner and Jan Dobrovsky are donated to the humanitarian support of the people of Ukraine. The exhibition took place under the auspices of the Councillor for Culture Hana Třeštíková and the director of the Creative Prague Institute Petr Peřinka and was created in support of the Ukrainian people attacked by Russia.

Exhibitors: Karel Cudlín, Jan Dobrovský and Martin Wágner (400 ASA)

Butterflies

Jun 25 — Aug 31, 2022

The fragile life of butterflies reminds us that it is necessary to live in the here and now, to rejoice in every day, to move towards light and a better life. As a result of Russian aggression, many people in Ukraine have had to leave their homes. Regardless of the suffering they have gone through, there is hope to be seen in their eyes. The exhibition of photographs and children's drawings of Ukrainian children currently residing in the Czech Republic on the theme “How I imagine my future” is a joint work of authors Tatiana Halska- Vialtsevi and Karel Cudlin. The project was created in April and May 2022.

Exhibitors: Tatiana Halska-Vialtseva and Karel Cudlin

FUD Embassya

Sep 25 — Dec 31, 2022

Students of the Faculty of Art and Design of UJEP presented their outputs emerging during the autumn semester. “Because we look for meaning in what we do, and because we care about the real application of our students — graduates (across studios), we are interested in ways to connect and activate our studies with the real environment. We ask how to present high-quality artistic, design or curatorial projects of students in a clear and long-term way outside the local environment of the faculty or region. Where is the space in the context of the Czech art and design scene, which, as graduates, connects them with the world. We are interested in how to activate the interest of the media and applicants in our faculty. And also whether we ourselves can actively influence who reports to us and how they learn about us. How an interested person establishes the opinion that he wants to study right here and only here. “
