A-i-R program

This year's first Open Studios will present the work of current MeetFactory residents. Their work will be presented during a guided tour by the residency team consisting of Tereza Havelková, Kateřina Pencová, Soňa Mikulášová, and Sasa Vitov.

Together with them, you will visit the studios of:

Clément Bedel, whose vivid, penetrating works evoke a changing world where the resilience of nature defies thoughts of extinction; the Budapest-based artistic duo Lörinc Borsos, who are preparing a May exhibition at Kostka Gallery as part of the Visegrad project Deconstructing Myths; Olena Kurzel, who works in painting, sculpture, performance, and textile art and moved to Prague last year from Ukraine. In collaboration with tranzit.cz,Yana Bachynska / Jan Bačynsjkyj from Ukraine, who works with installations made of textile objects and masks and folkloric motifs, will be in residence. The studio will also be opened by Marty Quell, a multidisciplinary artist and performer from Ireland, living and studying in London, who is developing his project The World of Donny; Marie Tučková, who will focus on research and preparation for her second music album and work on textile paintings during her residency; and Jakub Słomkowski, who observes in his work how the spheres of the sacred and the profane influence the human imagination and seeks ways of communication between the living and non-living worlds. Permanent resident Darrell Jónsson, aka Urban Space Epics, will also open his studio.
