Opening of Exhibition

Sylva Francová – The Grey Town

The opening of exhibition take place at Wednesday 5. 9. 2018 at 7.30 pm (Klíšská 1101/129a). The guided tour will start at 5 pm with an author and a curator of exhibition. You are welcome!

The exhibition The Grey Town of Sylva Francová presents the artworks inspired by the Prague housing estate Jižní Město in which the author spent her childhood and a part of her life. “The housing estate has got deeply under my skin, I remember all the endless rows of windows on grey panels, concrete underpasses and pedestrian bridges, eerie ventholes from the tube, and the wind sweeping down the abandoned plains,” says Sylva Francová. The author captures the largest housing estate in the Czech Republic over a long period in time-lapse projects. These result in a series of pictures that reflect the atmosphere of a concrete urban area; sometimes anonymous, sometimes mysterious. They show us the ever-changing world, mirroring the changes in time, seasons, and activities and moods of local residents.
